Myra is the second and major-label debut album by Mexican-American pop singer Myra in the Pop Music Market, released by Buena Vista Records on June 26, 2001. Myra was preceded by the lead single "Miracles Happen (When You Believe)", which was also included on the soundtrack of the Disney film The Princess Diaries.^[1]

The album also includes Myra's cover of the Martha and the Vandellas track "Dancing in the Street", which was previously issued as a single to promote the Disney film Recess: School's Out. Myra was heavily promoted in Limited Too stores and was the first CD album to be sold there.^[2]

Myra was first released in North America on June 26, 2001.^[2]

On April 24, 2002, the album was released in Japan with an alternate album cover. It included three additional remixes of "Lie, Lie, Lie", which was released as a single exclusively in Japan. On August 22, 2002, the album was reissued in Japan with another album cover and was retitled "Myra+more". It included the three remixes of "Lie, Lie, Lie" and two additional tracks, "Step Into The Light" and "You're the Dream."

"Miracles Happen (When You Believe)" was the first single from the record and was also part of The Princess Diaries film soundtrack. The music video was filmed at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills mall in Connecticut. It was directed by Scott Marshall and choreographed by Darrin Henson.

"Dancing in the Street", which was initially released to promote the Recess: School's Out film soundtrack, was included as the album's eighth track. The music video features a black and white background in Los Angeles, California with Myra and the dancers dancing with a disc jockey. It was directed by Scott Marshall and choreographed by Darrin Henson. Another version was made where the video is interplaced with clips of closing sequence of the movie and Myra performing against a bluescreen displaying clips of the film. This version was featured at the end of the VHS of the film.

"Lie, Lie, Lie", was released as the second single from the album in Japan, followed by "Step Into The Light". The latter was featured in the Japanese commercial for Lux Super Rich which featured the Spanish actress Penélope Cruz.

"Like A Girl In Love" was initially intended to be released a single from the record, following "Miracles Happen (When You Believe)".^[2] However, the song was only released promotionally on the Pillsburry/Hollywood Records EP release, "Strudelpalooza: 2002 Event". The track "Hanging Up On You" was featured on Radio Disney's 'Mighty Music CD' included in McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal packages. "You're the Dream" was chosen as the anthem track for the 2002 Special Olympics which was hosted by Walt Disney Records.

Despite live performances and several TV appearances at the time, Myra failed to be a charting success, and only appeared at on the Top Heatseekers chart, peaking at number 47.^[3] The album was met with mixed to positive reception from Allmusic, who rated the album three out of five stars.^[4]
