Mýa - My Love is Like... Wo

Music Appreciation 

Since appearing along side Christina Aguilera, Pink, and Lil' Kim in Lady Marmalade, I've had an attraction to Mýa. 

Mýa excelled in dance and music from an early age. A native of Washington, D.C., she studied under Savion Glover, a renowned tap dancer. At a young age she landed a spot as a hip hop dancer for BET's Teen Summit

Written by Missy Elliott, Charles and Kenneth Bereal, My Love is Like... Wo, was released on June 9, 2003. At first, Mýa was reluctant in recording the song because of its graphic lyrics, and since she had done a program with girls that talked about self-esteem and body image.

Lady Marmalade's music video director Paul Hunter, filmed and directed My Love is Like... Wo. The dance sequence was led by a then up and coming choreographer Travis Payne.
