Liberation is the fourth album by American singer Mya, slated for release on November 14 2006 via Motown Records. The record is said to feature productions by Sean Garrett, Scott Storch, Jonathan Rotem, Kwamé, Tricky Stewart, Bryan Michael Cox, while guest appearances include Lil Wayne, Penelope Jones, and The Game. Four new tracks--"I Am", "Ayo", "How We Carry", and "Ridin'"--have leaked from the album. Originally named Control Freak, the album's lead single, "Ayo", was released instead of the Scott Storch-produced "Lock You Down" on August 21. Mya will be appearing on The Summer Obession's Fall Mall Tour, passing through local malls to promote Liberation this coming Fall. Recently, Mya sat down with AOL Black Voices for an interview to discussed her new album, movies, songs, and other upcoming projects. Mya has said that this is her most personal album, citing "Life Is Too Short", "All In The Name Of Love", and "Switch It Up" as favorites. Below is the tracklisting as of July 10.[1]

Quotes
- “I was single back then, but not free 100 percent. I was a prisoner to myself back then,”
- “The new album is called Liberation and liberation means to be set free, so that's where I am in my life. That's how I truly feel. I feel like I'm really open to suggestions, criticism and not fearing anything."
- “With the last album I thought I was a little passive and there were insecurities that I did have with my personal life, family, boyfriends and professional life. I was a prisoner to myself back then.”
- “It’s just not all about work all the time. You can’t be serious all the time, You need to go ahead and breathe a little bit and I’m breathing. Liberation is my most personal album. I think people will truly be pleased with my vocals. I’m not holding back on this album.”
