Ayo! is a promo single from American R&B singer Mya's fourth album, Liberation. "Ayo" received minimal airplay and peaked at #70 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was also released as a digital single on iTunes. "Ayo" is however, not the official first single. "Lock U Down" is slated to be the official lead single from Liberation after it recently leaked in high quality on the web. "Ayo" was a track on an earlier version of the album but it has since been removed from the album's track list but it does appear on the Japanese Digital Download of the album as a bonus track with a remix of the album's official second single "Ridin"

[edit] Critical response

At first, some fans were disappointed with the original version of Ayo but Chris Henderson and Mya made some changes to the single.

The Rap version of Ayo was leaked and got positive response from fans. It is unclear whether this version will be included in the album or if the original version will be included.

This song contains two music samples, both from rapper Slick Rick. One, from the song "La Di Da Di" featuring Doug E. Fresh. The Chorus in Mya's "Ayo"-is taken from this song, when he says "La di da di/We like to party." The second is from Slick Rick's "Children's Story." The beat of this song is sampled in "Ayo."
