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:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
