Verifying a program that does not work for unidentified reason

Hello,
I am new to programing and I've encountered a weird problem. The program worked twice, bu now it doesn't and I wanted to know if it was because of something I changed in it. Basically, I have a lcd screen that should display different text depending on the input from a microphone (A0).

#include <Wire.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>


LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x3F,16,2);


int MIC = 0; //the microphone amplifier output is connected to pin A0
int analogPin = A0;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); //sets the baud rate at 9600 so we can check the values the microphone is obtaining on the Serial Monitor
   lcd.init();
}

void loop(){
  
//Serial.println (adc);//Print ADC for initial calculation 

MIC = analogRead(analogPin); 
Serial.println(MIC);

if (MIC>25)
{
  
   lcd.backlight();
   lcd.noDisplay();
  lcd.setCursor(4,0);
  lcd.print("Volume:");
  lcd.setCursor(7,1);
  lcd.print("Eleve");
  
}

if (MIC=21)
{
  lcd.backlight();
  lcd.noDisplay();
  lcd.setCursor(4,0);
  lcd.print("Volume:");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("Normal");
 
}

}

This is an assignment, not a comparison:

  if (MIC = 21)

Needs == instead.

What did you change ?

Yes. If it worked until you changed it, your change is the problem.
