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.

Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That hazy September
I've been waiting for somebody like you
To come back around
We would walk in the park
Every Saturday
Brand new
Kissing time away
You was all up on me
It was plain to see
That I was your girl
Way back when it was the simple thing
Anklets, Nameplates
That you gave to me
Sweet tarts, ring pops, and that candy bling
And you were my world
Now I wish I could go back and make time stop
I would take this love throwback from the top
Go DJ play my song
And I'm a think about you all night long
Back in the days we were in love
Were not in love anymore
But some days
I sit and wish we was in one again
Back in the days we were in love
Were not in love anymore
But some days
I sit and wish we was in one again
It was personal things we would do
Fall asleep on the phone and skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missing you
My sweet baby
My sweet thang
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you
My sweet baby
It was everything that I could do
To stay awake
And I often reminisce
About the games we played
It was Tag, Chess, Spin The Bottle
Then butterflies would last 'till tomorrow
Then the lights came on
I had to run right home
And now I wish I
Could go back and my time stop (stop, stop, stop)
And I would take this love throwback from the top
Go DJ play my song
And I'm a think about you all night long
Back in the days we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days
I sit and wish we was in one again
Back in the days we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days
I still wishing we was in one again
It was personal things we would do
Fall asleep on the phone and skippin' school
Now I'm back to the future missing you
My sweet baby
My sweet thang
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you
My sweet baby
I'm a see Mimi
Felt the need to change me
Butterfly flow
Like Mohamed Ali
Wish I can bring you back
Like the O.D.B
Thinkin' bout the world
Plus me you and Jack
No matter what I do
Well the memories are stacked
Thinkin' tenth grade
Thinkin' 'bout eleventh
When you went doggy fresh
All the way to heaven heaven heaven
Back in the days we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days
I sit and wish we was in one again
Back in the days we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days
I still wishing we was in one again
Back in the days, still remember
Now I'm back in the, now I'm stack in my future missing you
My sweet baby
My sweet thang
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you
My sweet baby
My sweet baby
My sweet thang
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you
My sweet baby
