Background
Following the success of her self-titled debut studio album, Harrison quickly re-entered the recording studio to begin work on her sophomore album. Her self-titled debut studio album spawned three Top 10 hits and garnered attention for her vocal performances on Pras hit "Ghetto Supastar" and Blackstreet's Take Me There. During her two years away, Mýa's managed to tour with some of the biggest names in the business, both on the Smokin' Grooves tour as well as with Lilith Fair. Originally scheduled to drop at the end of February 2000, Fear of Flying featured a number of guest vocalists on the project, including TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Jordan Knight, and Beenie Man. Harrison recorded with several different producers for this album, including She'kspere, Knobody, Tricky Stewart, and Robin Thicke. To help sign, seal, and deliver that promise, she enlisted such production mega-talent as Wyclef and Swizz Beatz of Ruff Ryders for the album, which was due on April 25.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
