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 ↴
Don't go and break my heart (don't go and break my heart)
You got the best of me
Don't go and break my heart (don't go and break my heart)

Would you love (love) me (me) baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break my heart
Heartbreaker you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start

Gimme your love [17x]

The lyrics to Mariah Carey's Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely start with the repetition of "Gimme your love," where Mariah pleads for her lover to give her love repeatedly. The melody is upbeat, which contrasts with the lyrics, where Mariah conveys her vulnerability by stating "Don't go and break my heart" several times. Mariah admits to being caught up and disarmed by her lover and cannot resist him at all. She then questions her commitment to her lover by asking if she does everything he wants, would he love or leave her feeling used. She accuses him of running his game on her, stating that he got the best of her, and she keeps coming back to him incessantly, although he keeps going and breaking her heart.
The lyrics of Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely convey a tumultuous relationship of a woman who can't resist a man, even though she knows he's not good for her. The chorus conveys this conflict: she's trapped in this situation, but even so, can't resist the pull of her lover. Mariah's lyrics convey her vulnerability and make the listener empathize with how easy it is to fall into a toxic relationship that can often lead to heartbreak.

@xmyxymx
I absolutely adore how Mariah puts so much effort into her remixes. Its not just different beat and faster vocals where the voice gets so crappy %) She re-sings her songs and makes a brand new song.. if you think of it, many of her singles are like brand new short albums. Thats what I would call - CREATIVITY
@Sttephy30
YES! Her catalog is so GOOD!
@Horseboyize
so true!!!
