Moodring is the third studio album by American recording artist Mýa Harrison. It was her last studio album for then joint record label A&M and Interscope Records, released on July 22, 2003 in the United States. Before Harrison began to work on what eventually would be her third studio album, she participated in prior engagements which would result in the blockbuster success of "Lady Marmalade", a collaboration for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, and a supporting role in the box office hit film Chicago.

Production on Moodring was primarily handled by an array of producers; Harrison enlisted the assistance of producers Ron Fair, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Rockwilder, Damon Elliott, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and a handful of others. With this album, Harrison wrote "99.9%" of her own lyrics and co-produced many of the album's tracks." While recording the album, Harrison funded her own studio time, and used several songs taken from her archive of music, recorded two years previously.Moodring, in Harrison's words, is an experimental, somewhat bi-polar album with contemporary R&B/pop-influenced fusing soul, techno, reggae, and hip-hop substance.

"Moodring" debuted at number three on Billboard 200 album chart with first week sales of 113,000 copies. This marked Harrison's highest debut and first week sales yet. Upon its initial release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with AllMusic praising Harrison for coming up with her best and most varied set of songs yet. Two months after its release, the album earned a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. To date, it has sold roughly 589,000 copies. "Moodring" spawned two singles, including "My Love Is Like...Wo" and "Fallen", the former became a Top 40 hit globally. In August 2005, after five years with Interscope Records, Harrison decided to leave the company and her management.
