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 ↴
"But that's your nostalgia though
"'Just for the nostalgia you' you gotta say"
"That's my most nostalgic moment of hip-hop music ever"
"Right"
(Carey like Mariah)
(Carey like Mariah)
(Carey like Mariah)
I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you
I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
And oh baby you know, all that love-making we did
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again
(I'll sit here and sing that good ol' old school shit)
Long lost friend from way back when (Carey like Mariah)
Eric B was president
Tell me where the melody went
And if you still care say "Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Carey like Mariah)
Sing it like they used to do
This one's from to and you, oh
La-di-la-di-da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
And oh baby you know, make love
That's how you do it
Just like we did it back then
Well this is dedicated to you
I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you
I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
Oh baby you know, all that loving-making we did
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again
(I'll sit here and sing that good ol' old school shit)
And all your friends from way back then (Carey like Mariah)
Tell me can you visualize
36 Chambers high
Feels like we're there, yeah yeah yeah (Carey like Mariah)
Remix of a Fantasy, I hear 'em singing back to me like
La la-di-la-di-da (love you, baby)
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
And oh baby you know, make love (Carey like Mariah)
That's how you do it
Just like we did it back then
And this is dedicated to you
Nah, we don't wish today's game was old again
We just wish it wasn't full of Draconian, Babylonian, phony men
FOH my summation fascinates, we have debates
Who's the greatest living that passed away
I ask MC, see what she has to say
Eric B or Master P, some see it differently
'87 meant to me? I try to describe it, you try to relive it
I try to revive it hoping that you get it, yeah
Something about 'La Di Da Di' got inside our bodies
Something about my Adidas coming out the speakers
Used to do doo-wop or the Pee-Wee Herman
Rest in peace Heavy D, 'Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon'
Let's go
La-di-la-di-da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
Oh baby you know
The lyrics of Mariah Carey's song "Dedicated," featuring Nas, are a nostalgic tribute to the good old days. The singer promises to sing some "good old school shit" for her partner, who she won't try to possess or manipulate. She reminisces about the intensity of their past sexual encounters and yearns to relive those moments. Mariah also asks her partner to join her in singing along to some classic tunes they both know and love, such as "La-di-la-di-da." The song's second verse features Nas recounting his own memories of days gone by, including references to hip-hop legends like Heavy D and Master P. Together, the two artists evoke a feeling of longing for the past while also acknowledging that time moves on.
The lyrics of "Dedicated" capture a bittersweet aspect of nostalgia that many listeners can relate to. The song is part of Mariah Carey's 2018 album "Caution," which features collaborations with a range of artists, including Slick Rick, Ty Dolla $ign, and Blood Orange. Several of the album's tracks reflect Mariah's personal life experiences and her familiar themes of love, heartbreak, and perseverance.
