Moodring is the third album by American R&B and pop singer Mýa, released in the United States on July 22, 2003 (see 2003 in music) via Interscope Records. The album features a diversified assortment of musical influences, though generally focusing on R&B/soul laid-tracks, produced by Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Moodring debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart selling more than 113,000 in its first week of release and included the hit single "My Love Is Like...Wo" and "Fallen".
"My Love Is Like...Wo", the album's lead single, peaked at number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100, but topped the World Top 100 Jazz Singles. The second single, "Fallen", performed poorly on the U.S. charts, peaking at number fifty-one, and despite thinking about another release, all promotion for Moodring ended not long after. To date Moodring has sold 589,000 in the United States according Nielsen Soundscan.
