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.

I'll Be Lovin U Long Time
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
(I'll be lovin')
You ain't even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain't nobody takin' me away
It's not a game I'm here to stay
Addictive just can't get enough
And every time I'm with you
I want some more
Just close the door
And let's explore each other
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
(I'll be loving you long time)
As I can breathe
(I'll be loving you long time)
Eternally)
Don't care what no one has to say
They don't understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain't nothin' we can't do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can breathe)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
I don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
(I'll be lovin')
I'll be loving you a long time
I'll be loving you a long time
The lyrics to Mariah Carey's "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" feat. T.I. is about a love that lasts forever. The singer expresses her commitment to her partner, assuring him that no one can take her away from him. She compares their love to a strong drug that she can't get enough of, and she wants to explore each other behind closed doors. The singer dismisses any negative opinions about their relationship from outsiders, insisting that they understand each other better than anyone else. They can go to their little secret spot and spend time alone, where her partner can touch her intimately and never let go. In the end, the singer declares that she doesn't want anyone else but her partner, as he is the only one that can do what he does to her.
The song's theme revolves around the idea of an unbreakable love. The singer promises to love her partner for a long time, almost as long as she can breathe (which is a metaphor for eternity). The chorus emphasizes this notion, stating that nothing can stop them, and as long as her partner has her, they'll be together indefinitely. This song's message may be interpreted as Mariah Carey's assertion of her lasting love for her partner or may also be taken as a general message about long-lasting love.

I'll be lovin' you long time
I'll continue loving you for a long time
You ain't even gotta worry
Don't worry about anything, I've got you
About a thing I gotcha babe
I'll take care of everything for you, my love
And ain't nobody takin' me away
No one can come between us and take me away from you
It's not a game I'm here to stay
Our love is not a game, I'm committed to staying with you always
Our love is stronger than any drug
Our love is powerful and addictive like a drug
Addictive just can't get enough
I am addicted to your love and can never get enough of you
And every time I'm with you
Whenever I'm in your presence
I want some more
I want to spend more time with you and experience more of our love
Just close the door
Let's have some privacy and enjoy each other's company behind closed doors
And let's explore each other
Let's discover more about ourselves and our love as we spend time together
Long as I know you got me
As long as I know you're here for me
There's no stopping you and me
Nothing can come between us, our love is unstoppable
Don't care what no one has to say
I don't care about anyone else's opinions or thoughts
They don't understand us like we do
No one can understand our connection and love like we do
I need you near me night and day
I always need you close to me, any time of day
Together there ain't nothin' we can't do
We are unstoppable and can accomplish anything together
Scoop me up and we can go
Pick me up and we can leave together
To that little spot where no one knows
To a secret location where no one can find us
Spend a little time just us alone
Let's have some alone time together
You can caress my body and never let go
Hold me close and never let me go, show your affection physically
I don't want another
I don't want anyone else, I only want you
Ain't gon' never be another
There will never be anyone else like you
Can't nobody do what you do to me
No one can love me or treat me the way you do
I'll be loving you a long time
I will continue to love you for a very long time
