Mýa Unpacks Upcoming Album ‘Retrospect,’ New Single “ASAP” & Most Intentional Era Yet | BET Talks

Mýa sits down with Jamila Mustafa for an unfiltered conversation on BET Talks — and she’s not just reflecting, she’s owning every chapter. No stranger to the BET family, Mýa takes us back to her Teen Summit beginnings and walks us through the evolution from teenage standout to nine-album-deep independent powerhouse. In this episode, she breaks down her latest project Retrospect, unpacks the vibe behind her new single “ASAP,” and gets real about what it takes to build, fund, and maintain your own label in an industry that constantly shifts. From The Self-Defined Era to The Power of Yes — and the Strength to Say No, Mýa speaks on longevity, discipline, and protecting her peace. She reflects on contributing to the 106 & Park tribute, the lessons that came from her mother’s guidance, and how faith and personal values continue to shape both her artistry and her business decisions. More than a look back, this conversation is a blueprint — a masterclass in independence, reinvention, and choosing alignment over noise. Tap in for a powerful discussion on growth, ownership, and what it truly means to be self-defined. 00:00 - 01:12 | That Girl Is MYA: Meet the Icon 01:13 - 03:02 | This or That: Mya Chooses 03:03 - 04:32 | Teen Summit Days: From Teen Star to Trailblazer 04:34 - 05:13 | 106 & Park Tribute: A Full-Circle Moment 05:14 - 06:25 | The Self-Defined Era: Living on Her Own Terms 06:26 - 09:31 | ‘ASAP’ Unpacked: Inside the New Single 09:32 - 11:30 | The Power of Yes — and the Strength to Say No 11:31 - 12:31 | Mama’s Words That Still Guide Her 12:32 - 14:15 | Nine Albums In: What’s Next for Mya 14:16 - 14:37 | On Repeat Right Now 14:38 - 17:17 | Standing Firm: Faith, Values, and Womanhood 17:18 - 17:59 | Final Gems and Closing Thoughts SUBSCRIBE to #BET! ►► http://bit.ly/1U0v9xG Stream Black Culture with BET+.
