'It's All About Me' is a contemporary R&B song by American recording artist Mýa. It served as her debut single from her self-titled debut studio album and recorded as a duet with R&B singer Sisqó. The song was written and composed by Sisqó and Darryl Pearson, who also served as producer. It sampled an interpolation of the composition “Moments in Love” by Art of Noise.

The song received generally mixed to positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who compared Harrison to her contemporary peers Brandy and Monica. "It’s All About Me" became a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of May 16, 1998; peaking and spending three consecutive weeks at number six. It fared better on the component Hot R&B Singles chart, reaching number two. Internationally, the single was a modest success; it reached the Top 20 in New Zealand and Top 40 in Canada.

The song’s accompanying music video was filmed by director G. Thomas Ferguson and University Music CEO Haqq Islam. Harrison choreographed the dance routines and designed her own outfit - a red Chinese traditional wedding dress. The music video featured Harrison performing a strip tease and fencing with Sisqó after they meet following a concert from Sisqó's group, Dru Hill (Harrison, Sisqó, and Dru Hill were all label mates at the time on University Music).

Background

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Harrison described the concept behind "It’s All About Me": "It's not a conceited thing. Basically, I'm speaking for people who are in relationships but aren't getting their fifty percent. The song is about taking control. Personally, I'm not trying to get into relationships right now. But when I do, it's fifty-fifty."[1]

Critical reception

Billboard{{'}}s Larry Flick gave "It's All About Me" a favorable review, writing,

"Although It's All About Me can be too repetitive and thus unnecessarily tiring at times, it does have an interesting, catchy rhythm that's hard to miss. Undoubtedly, R&B listeners will find this highly appealing. The vocals have a great range, as well as a smooth, angelic tone. It's worth giving it a try."[2] Writing for Spin magazine, Charles Aaron described "It's All About Me" as a "G-rated version of Lil' Kim{{'}}s pussy-power politics."[3]

Music video

In an interview with MTV News, Mýa talked about the concept behind the video for "All About Me," on which Sisqó reprises his smooth-talkin', ladies man role. "Sisqó pulls me out of the crowd," Mýa explained, "because I guess I look uninterested, and that's not common, y'know to have people uninterested in such big stars. So, he pulls me out thinking he's gonna make me his lady of the night." "Through the dance and the whole video," she continued, "I tease him and say, 'No, I'm not that kind of girl and if you wanna be with me, you have to make it all about me.'"[17]
