Released on May 6, 2013, Carey and Miguel did not reveal that they had collaborated on the song, until April 25, 2013, when Carey revealed the title in a 25-second teaser video during season twelve of American Idol. It was also on Idol, on May 9, that Carey premiered the official music video for "#Beautiful", before uploading an alternative edit to her VEVO account, that is set to the explicit version of the song.
Mariah told Ryan Seacrest about wanting to work with Miguel on the song – “I’m a huge fan of his music and as I think everybody’s so blown away by him right now.” Alternatively, Miguel has stated that he has loved Mariah ever since she “walked out of the pool in that ‘Honey’ video”.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Yeah) Ohh
Ah, ah, you're beautiful
Hop on the back of my bike
Let the good wind blow through your hair
With an ass like that and a smile so bright
Oh, you're killing me, you know it ain't fair, yeah
Let the moonlight kiss your skin
When you dance like that, your jeans so tight
Oh, you're killing me, baby do it again, yeah
You're beautiful and your mind is fucking beautiful
And I can't pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me, to me, yeah
You're beautiful, good Lord, you're fucking beautiful
And I can't pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me, to me, yeah, yeah
I like when you run red lights
Don't stop 'til you thrill me, oh how you thrill me
Always in control, how you do it, I don't know
But I don't care, take me anywhere
'Cause it's beautiful, ooh you make me feel undressable
And I can't pretend that doesn't mean a thing to me, to me, oh yeah
You're beautiful and your mind is fucking beautiful
And I can't pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me, to me, yeah
You're beautiful, good Lord, you're fucking beautiful (oh-oh-oh-oh, so beautiful)
And I can't pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me, to me, yeah, yeah
