"You Got Me, Part II" is a song recorded by American singer Mýa. Recorded in January 2020, it was written by Mýa with production by hip-hop producer Bink!. A sequel song, "You Got Me, Part II" serves as a conceptual continuation to its original version. Significantly different from the original version – both musically and lyrically, "You Got Me, Part II" is a sensual, hypnotic ode to throwback 90's R&B, while lyrically it addresses the protagonist's unexpected feelings for someone she had no intentions of falling for. As tradition and a standalone single, "You Got Me, Part II" was released on April 20, 2020 in celebration of her debut album Mýa (1998).

Background and release

[edit]

"You Got Me, Part II" was first announced as a single during a brief interview with Fox 5 Washington D.C.'s anchorman Wisdom Martin.[1] Beginning on April 13, 2020, "You Got Me, Part II" was made available for pre-order.[2] A week later, "You Got Me, Part II" was officially released April 20, 2020 on all digital platforms.[3]

Artwork

[edit]

Taking to Instagram, Mýa uploaded the single's official artwork.[4] Mýa is seen wearing a buttoned-up black blazer, opting to go shirtless underneath the garment.[5] On display is her decolletage area, which is accessorized with a thick necklace.[5] The ensemble is paired with high-waisted skintight pants with a white strip going down to the side and black heels with white spots all over.[5] To complete the look, Mýa wore a red hat with her hair sported in a bun while black lipstick and nail polish was applied.[5]

Composition

[edit]

Constructed around throwback 90's R&B, "You Got Me, Part II" is a sensual, hypnotic midtempo production with a runtime of four minutes and twenty-eight seconds.[6][7] Written by Mýa with production courtesy of Bink! and additional live instrumentation provided by producer Chucky Thompson, "You Got Me, Part II" is a conceptual continuation of its original version performed in the key of B major with a common time of 127 beats per minute.[6][7][8]

Lyrically, the song chronicles the protagonist's realization that she has unexpected feelings for someone she had no intention of falling for. "You got me boy/Yeah you got me/I thought I was stronger than this/ You had at me hello/ I ain't use to this" Mýa sings with conviction on the song's chorus.[6] Vocally, in the verses, Mýa's voice is rich and robust which serves as contrast to her light, brighter tone in the song's multi-layered chorus.[6]

Music video

Following the song's release, a lyric video was released shortly after.[9]
