"Case of the Ex" (sometimes subtitled "Whatcha Gonna Do"[1]) is a song performed by American singer Mýa. It was written and composed by Christopher "Tricky" Stewart (with his songwriting partners Traci Hale and Thabiso "Tab" Nkhereanyne) for Mýa's sophomore studio record, Fear of Flying (2000). The up-tempo pop-R&B track was inspired by a relationship Hale was going through at the time. It was released as the second single from the album, following "The Best of Me" (July 11, 2000).

The song received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, yet it was Mýa's breakthrough mainstream hit, both stateside and internationally, after having already released a previous self-titled album in early 1998. "Case of the Ex" was a top-five hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 2, 2000, peaking and spending three consecutive weeks at no. 2, while topping the Australian ARIA Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks (in March 2001) and peaking at no. 3 in the United Kingdom.

The accompanying music video for the single was directed by Diane Martel. Mýa worked with choreographer Tina Landon, who later won an American Choreography Award for Best Hip Hop music video. The video, filmed in the barren Mojave Desert, featured the singer and her backup dancers performing with large poles as props and dancing in the sand. The visuals drew comparisons to Janet Jackson's "You Want This" (1994) music video and Mel Gibson's 1979 film Mad Max. In addition, the video was nominated for a Washington Area Music Award for Video of the Year, while the song itself won in the Urban Contemporary Recording category in 2001.

Background

[edit]
Producer Tricky Stewart co-wrote "Case of the Ex" along with Traci Hale and Tab in late 1999.[2]

"Case of the Ex" was composed by Christopher Stewart, Traci Hale, and Thabiso "Tab" Nkhereanyne in late 1999.[3] Initially, Mýa was working at the Redzone Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, when she heard an early instrumental of the song through the walls from the room next door. She stepped out of her current session and was subsequently introduced to Stewart, who worked next to her.[4] Originally a rap song, Stewart heavily rearranged the track to make it fit Mýa's persona.[4]

Speaking of its creation, Stewart said: "We got together to write a song specifically for Mýa. We kicked around some subjects which Mýa could potentially sing. We wanted to create a lyric theme that would keep her young, yet would show that she was growing up."[2] It was Hale who came up with the lyric idea, which was inspired by a relationship she was going through at the time and revolved around "a strong woman who won't tolerate her man returning to his ex-girlfriend."[2] While Tab and Hale contributed most of the lyrics, Stewart wrote the music and played all of the tracks, with Hale singing on the original demo."[2]

The initial demo also featured the percussive, keyboard hook which would become the song's musical trademark. "I followed an old philosophy, which is to try to catch the listener's attention," explained Stewart. "I wanted to make a statement with that hook, creating a special sound that people would react to and remember. It was like a loud horn blast, which was derived from a sampled sound, and then enhanced with my K-25 keyboard."[2] Soon after completing the demo, Stewart played the song for Mýa, and she "immediately loved it."[2] The following day, she recorded her vocals at Stewart's studio for the master version.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Case of the Ex" garnered mixed to positive reviews. Billboard magazine compared the song to Destiny's Child's "Jumpin', Jumpin'", and added: "With its quick-programmed drum track [...] Mýa's 'Case of the Ex' is on the right track. Production-wise, the song used some computer tricks to play with Mýa's vocals. [It] is set to be a hot track on radio and in the clubs all summer long."[5] Music Week said the song was "sultry R&B" and that it "should help lift sales of her album Fear of Flying."[6] Jacqueline Springer of NME gave the song a favorable review and rated the single seven out of ten stars, writing: "No-good boyfriend anthem number four thousand eighty time, y'all [...] The stuttering arrangement of the original is cool and suits Mýa's brooding mood, but after a while it simply sits in the wind — there's no real build into a bassline leaving the track to run along a continuous pop/r&b vibe [...] Anyway, we all know what to do when ex-girlfriends re-emerge don't we? Round up your girls and give the wench a beat-down."[7] Writing for Yahoo! Music UK, Gary Crossing described "Case of the Ex" as a smooth and sassy if a somewhat formulaic slice of R&B.[8]

Music video

[edit]

The video for "Case of the Ex" was directed by Diane Martel and filmed at Mojave Desert in California.[24] On filming "Case of the Ex," the singer laughed and remarked, "It was literally hell."[24] During filming, a wardrobe malfunction had occurred on set where the studs Mya and her dancers wore didn't have lining on the opposite sides, causing the crew to get cut up on their skin, while simultaneously getting sunburnt with sand getting in their sunburns and scrapes.[24] She noted: "So it was a very painful video regarding our skin and having to do take after take in hot weather."[24] Mya however, gushed and shared, "It was fun because I was so excited to do these really fierce dance moves and show personality."[24]

"Case of the Ex" music video "opens in a Mad-Maxish desert setting, where a posse of well-muscled girls stands before a group of somewhat nonplussed boys".[25] The girls then proceed "wielding their martial-arts sticks" at the men during their dance routine.[25] By the end of the video, Mya and her dancers exit, leaving their audience dusty and on their own.[25] Cynthia Fuchs from PopMatters compared the video to "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls and "You Want This" by Janet Jackson.[25] The video first premiered on BET the week ending on June 26, 2000, later airing on MTV the week ending on July 24, 2000.[26][27]
