"Ridin'" is a song by American recording artist Mýa Harrison. It was written and composed by Harrison, Ester Dean, Jevon Simms, Traci Hale and Tricky Stewart for her fourth studio album Liberation (2007), with the latter serving as producer. Lyrically, the contemporary R&B ballad is based on a personal experience Harrison endured in a relationship at one point in time when she suspected her ex-boyfriend of cheating.
"Ridin'" was released in favor over album cuts "I Am" and "Walka Not a Talka" in a poll on Harrison's MySpace page voted by fans and after the commercial disappointment of previous single "Lock U Down". Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who complimented on Harrison's toned of voice and the topic of the song. A minor success on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, it peaked at number fifty-eight. The song's accompanying music video was filmed by Erik White and made its world premiere on BET's 106 & Park in September 2007.
