'It's All About Me' is a contemporary R&B song by American recording artist Mýa. It served as her debut single from her self-titled debut studio album and recorded as a duet with R&B singer Sisqó. The song was written and composed by Sisqó and Darryl Pearson, who also served as producer. It sampled an interpolation of the composition “Moments in Love” by Art of Noise.
The song received generally mixed to positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who compared Harrison to her contemporary peers Brandy and Monica. "It’s All About Me" became a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of May 16, 1998; peaking and spending three consecutive weeks at number six. It fared better on the component Hot R&B Singles chart, reaching number two. Internationally, the single was a modest success; it reached the Top 20 in New Zealand and Top 40 in Canada.
The song’s accompanying music video was filmed by director G. Thomas Ferguson and University Music CEO Haqq Islam. Harrison choreographed the dance routines and designed her own outfit - a red Chinese traditional wedding dress. The music video featured Harrison performing a strip tease and fencing with Sisqó after they meet following a concert from Sisqó's group, Dru Hill (Harrison, Sisqó, and Dru Hill were all label mates at the time on University Music).
