Speaking on "A.S.A.P.," the singer commented, "This is for my core R&B fans who love feel-good music, with meaningful lyrics that hit the soul. "ASAP" highlights one reaching a crossroad and choosing clarity by being honest about your wants and needs in times of uncertainty, without fear or hesitation."
A collaborative effort, between Harrison, Vincent Berry II, and Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards; "A.S.A.P." is inspired by personal experiences and observations of contemporary relationships. It's a story about the need to clearly express feelings and expectations without unnecessary ambiguity. With a common runtime of two minutes and forty-eight seconds, infused with subtle nods to the sounds of the '80's, "A.S.A.P." is a sultry, "atmospheric," 80's "informed," "tinged" mid-tempo groove centered on themes of communication and honesty in a interpersonal relationship. The track finds the singer crooning of an undeniably red-hot love that's always worth fighting for. Hoping for reconciliation with the antagonist, the singer opts for open communication with a lover to work through a rough patch â "I swear we gotta talk, yeah we gotta ASAP / We both messed up and we way off track," she sings in the chorus.
Billboard picked "A.S.A.P." as one of their must hear R&B/hip-hop songs "Fresh Picks of the Week," commenting, "Grammy-winning '00s R&B icon Mýa is gearing up for her first album in eight years, and she's ready to get the ball rolling 'A.S.A.P."

Directed by City James, the music video for "A.S.A.P." dubs a retro-modern aesthetic inspired by the golden era of MTV performance visuals. Each scene is bathed in warm, nostalgic tones â rotary phones, soft-focus lighting, and intimate framing â while maintaining contemporary broadcast-ready clarity. Suspended in time, the visual echoes an era where connection meant picking up the phone or speaking face-to-face. Throughout out the music video, the singer delivers her plea through a pearly rotary phone.
