This music video for Mýa's song "ASAP" (0:01) focuses on the theme of communication in a relationship. The lyrics express the need to talk through issues rather than letting them fester, highlighting that a lack of communication is the "only problem" (0:17) and that if they "don't do this, then we might not make it" (0:23).
The video visually reinforces this message, showing the couple feeling "so far apart in the same room" (0:35), despite their shared space. The song emphasizes the importance of resolving conflicts and acknowledging past mistakes (1:15) to make the relationship last, with a strong plea to stop "running from our issues" (2:26).
The video promotes Mýa's single "ASAP" from her upcoming 10th studio album "Retrospect," released on February 14th to coincide with the 28th anniversary of her debut single "It's All About Me."
In addition to the central theme of communication, other themes explored in the video include:
Relationship Challenges and Conflict: The video explicitly addresses that "we both messed up" (0:55, 1:58) and acknowledges that "things are just not the same" (0:45, 1:47), highlighting the difficulties and changes that can occur in a relationship.
The Weight of the Past: The lyrics mention "bringing up the past" (1:15), indicating that unresolved issues from the past can hinder progress and resolution in the present.
Vulnerability and Honesty: The plea to "just talk to me, baby" (0:08) and the acknowledgment "I know I was wrong" (1:15) suggest a theme of opening up and being honest about feelings and mistakes.
Growth and Progress: Mýa sings, "I want us to grow. Ain't trying to be complacent" (0:29), emphasizing a desire for the relationship to evolve and improve rather than stagnate.
Emotional Distance: The repeated line "so far apart in the same room" (0:35, 1:38) visually and lyrically conveys a sense of emotional disconnect despite physical proximity.
