Carey's self-titled debut album was released under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, who married her three years later. She gained further worldwide success with the albums Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995). Their singles include "Hero", "Without You", "Fantasy", "Always Be My Baby", and "One Sweet Day", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 decade-end chart (1990s) and was the longest running number one song of the decade. After separating from Mottola, Carey adopted a new urban image and incorporated more elements of hip hop with the album Butterfly (1997). She left Columbia in 2001 after eleven consecutive years of U.S. number-one singles and signed a $100 million record deal with Virgin Records.
Following Carey's highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown and the failure of the film Glitter (2001) and its soundtrack, Virgin bought out her contract and she signed with Island Records the following year. After a comparatively unsuccessful period, Carey returned to the top of the charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005), which became the best-selling album in the US and the world's second best-selling album of 2005. Its second single, "We Belong Together", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 decade-end chart (2000s). She won the Breakthrough Actress Performance award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for her role in the 2009 film Precious. Carey's subsequent ventures included being an American Idol judge, starring in the docu-series Mariah's World, appearing in the films The Butler (2013), A Christmas Melody (2015), and The Lego Batman Movie (2017), performing at two Las Vegas concert residencies, and publishing her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey in 2020.
Carey is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 220 million records sold worldwide. She holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles by a solo artist (19), a female songwriter (18), and a female producer (15). Carey is the highest-certified female artist in the United States and 10th overall, with 72 million certified album units. In 2008, she was named one of Time's annual 100 most influential artists and entertainers in the world. Billboard named her the "top-charting female solo artist", based on both album and song chart success in 2019. Carey has won 5 Grammy Awards, 19 World Music Awards, 10 American Music Awards, 15 Billboard Music Awards and eight Guinness World Records. An inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, she is credited for inspiring multiple generations of pop and R&B artists, and for merging hip hop with pop music through her crossover collaborations.

All I Want For Christmas Is You
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (I)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own (ooh)
More than you could ever know (ooh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (I)
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight (ooh)
Holding on to me so tight (ooh)
What more can I do
Oh, baby all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
Oh-oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air (oh)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me (yeah)
The one I really need (oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for (I)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own (ooh)
More than you could ever know (ooh)
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I'm not asking for much this Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I have one specific request
I don't care about the presents
Gifts are not important to me
Underneath the Christmas tree
Even if they're wrapped and waiting
I just want you for my own
All I truly want is to be with you
More than you could ever know
My feelings for you exceed what words can describe
Make my wish come true
Grant me my heartfelt desire
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
You are the only gift I want this holiday season
I don't need to hang my stocking
Decorations and traditions don't hold value for me
There upon the fireplace
That's where people usually place stockings
Santa Claus won't make me happy
My happiness doesn't depend on a mythical figure
With a toy on Christmas day
Even if I get a present, it won't bring me the happiness being with you would
I won't ask for much this Christmas
My Christmas request is small
I won't even wish for snow
I don't care about the typical Christmas atmosphere
I just wanna keep on waiting
I'll wait patiently because I know what I truly want
Underneath the mistletoe
This is where I hope to be with you
I won't make a list and send it
I won't feel the need to be specific about my request
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
Not even Santa can give me what I truly want
I won't even stay awake
I won't stay up just to see if Santa has come
To hear those magic reindeer click
I don't care about the fanciful parts associated with Christmas
Cause I just want you here tonight
Being with you is all I need this evening
Holding on to me so tight
Your embrace is everything to me
What more can I do
I've shown you how much you mean to me in every way possible
Oh, baby all I want for Christmas is you
You alone are my heart's desire this holiday season
All the lights are shining
The city is bathed in lights
So brightly everywhere
They are bright and vibrant wherever you go
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
The joy of this season is infectious, especially for kids
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The distinctive sound of a sleigh can be heard in the distance
Santa won't you bring me
I'm not counting on Santa to bring me what I truly desire
The one I really need
You are the one I want to be with
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
If Santa is real and listening, I hope he can bring you to me soon
This is all I'm asking for
All I desire this Christmas is you
I just wanna see my baby
All I want for Christmas is to see you
Standing right outside my door
Being with you this holiday season is my only wish
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
You are the only gift I truly want this Christmas season
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
My wish is straightforward and clear: I want you
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
You are the only present I need this year
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
You are the sole focus of my Christmas wish
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
I can't stress this enough: all I want for Christmas is you
