Lock U Down

Lock U Down is the first single from Mya's fourth studio album "Liberation" featuring rapper Lil Wayne.

The single was released on March 27, 2007. The song was written by Mya, Jason Boyd, Dwayne Carter & Scott Storch (who also produced the song).

It was released as the album's official lead single after the single "Ayo!" failed to find success on the charts or on the radio and it was eventually deemed a promotional single only.

The lyrics speak of a woman locking her man down when she has found the right one.

Music Video
The music video was directed by Benny Boom.

On April 25, 2007, the video for the track was premiered on "106 & Park."

The heavy dance-laid video includes Mya dancing in a seemingly abandoned warehouse.

She performs a dance routine with a few back-up dancers during the video.

Lil' Wayne stands next to Mya when rapping his verses and Mya is sometimes seen mouthing the words to his rap.

Towards the end of the video, Mya is seen partying with a couple of friends.

Chart Performance
The song peaked at number one on Billboard's Bubbling Under R&B\Hip-Hop Singles chart.

Critical Reception
Sentinel's editor Brandon Brooks gave "Lock U Down" a positive review, calling it "a surefire hit" complimenting on Mya's vocal performance saying "she has grown up over the years and sound rejuvenated than ever before."
