M.Y.O.B. (a.k.a. Mind Your Own Business) (Espiritu Album 1970; Golden Egg Album 1234) is the seventh original album by American singer Deborah Gibson. It was released March 2001 on her own Golden Egg record label, and sold 20,000 copies in America.

[edit] Singles

M.Y.O.B was promoted as a single first.

Billboard's Dance single reviewer described follow-up single "What You Want" as "a cutting-edge moment, featuring the recognizable vocals of this old friend and soul-saturating production from never-failing maestro [remixer] Tony Moran" but acknowledged that DJs may have "lingering prejudices" against Gibson. The single received light airplay in Spring 2001 but did not chart.

Remixes by Mike Rizzo of "Your Secret" were released. The single, which was playful and catchy, received light play at radio and in clubs. The remixes featured a repeating crescendo on the line "I don't wanna" before finishing the phrase with the words "your secret". Unfortunately, the song did not chart on any major chart.

In 2002, Musica Technica all-but-finished 5 remixes of "Jaded" in pop-dance, house, and progressive house styles, nevertheless keeping true to the original track. Notably, the remixes incorporated the electric guitar line, adding an "edge" then uncommon in dance music. Sadly, Golden Egg Records closed shop before providing the vocal line to the remixer, who was never enabled to finish months of hard work.
