Moodring is the third album by American R&B and pop singer Mya, 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 laid tracks, produced by Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Moodring peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart selling more than 113,000 in its first week of sales and included the hit single "My Love Is Like...Wo" and "Fallen".
"My Love Is Like...Wo", the album's lead single, peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Fallen", failed on the U.S. charts, peaking at #51, and despite thinking about another release, all promotion for Moodring ended not long after. Moodring was certified Gold.
