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 ↴
I wonder what you'll show me
I think of you
and the thoughts that you keep
And I, I wonder do you know me
Everything that I have
is broken in two
Everything that I am
And you just don't understand
What a girl goes through
Everyone believes in something
Though we give it different names
You can search the world for that one thing
But it's all the same
Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I lullaby you,
lullaby you down
As the moon rides away from the sun
She takes all his light and reflects it
I relate them to us just for fun
There's a parallel that's unexpected
Every star in the sky,
reminds me of you
Twinkling in my eyes,
The way that you do
And I don't know why
I get so blue
Everyday is filled with changes
No matter where you go
Living in a world of strangers
So we go for what we know
Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I lullaby you,
lullaby you down
Everyone believes in something
But it's all the same
Attitude will keep me going
So I guess I can't complain
Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I lullaby you,
lullaby you down
In Mariah Carey's "Lullaby," the singer touches on themes such as love, devotion, and the complexities of relationships. The song reflects a sense of longing and connection as the singer navigates through her thoughts, wondering if her partner knows and understands her. She speaks of being broken and revolves around her partner. The chorus begins with the singer inviting her partner to lay down next to her as she brings his body down and lulls him to sleep with the only sound being her voice. The song uses the image of the moon taking the light of the sun and reflecting it, as a parallel to the connection between the singer and her partner. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the soothing rhythm and melody of the lullaby.
Line by Line Meaning
At night as we lay down to sleep
When we go to bed at night
I wonder what you'll show me
I am curious about what you will reveal to me
I think of you
You are on my mind
and the thoughts that you keep
I am curious about your innermost thoughts and feelings
And I, I wonder do you know me
I wonder if you truly understand who I am
Everything that I have is broken in two
My life feels shattered and incomplete
Everything that I am revolves around you
You are the center of my world
And you just don't understand
You don't comprehend the depth of my emotions
What a girl goes through
The unique struggles and experiences of being a woman
Everyone believes in something
All people have faith in something
Though we give it different names
We express our beliefs in different ways and languages
You can search the world for that one thing
People search everywhere for that one thing they have faith in
But it's all the same
All beliefs are essentially equal
Lay your body down
Lie down and relax
Come and let me bring your body down
Let me help you to unwind and calm down
Listen to my voice, the only sound
Pay attention to my voice, which is the only thing you need to focus on
As I lullaby you, lullaby you down
As I sing you to sleep, soothing you with my voice
As the moon rides away from the sun
As the night falls and the day ends
She takes all his light and reflects it
The moon takes the sunlight and reflects it, illuminating the night
I relate them to us just for fun
I draw a comparison between the moon and sun and our relationship, just for amusement
There's a parallel that's unexpected
The similarity between the moon and sun is surprising
Every star in the sky reminds me of you
Every star reminds me of your presence and beauty
Twinkling in my eyes, the way that you do
The stars shine in my eyes, just like you make my eyes sparkle
And I don't know why I get so blue
I feel sad and melancholy for no apparent reason
Everyday is filled with changes
Life is constantly changing
No matter where you go
Regardless of where you are
Living in a world of strangers
We are surrounded by unfamiliar people
So we go for what we know
We hold onto what we are familiar with for comfort and stability
Everyone believes in something
All people have faith in something
But it's all the same
All beliefs are essentially equal
Attitude will keep me going
A positive mindset will help me persist
So I guess I can't complain
I acknowledge that things could be worse, so I shouldn't complain
Lay your body down
Lie down and relax
Come and let me bring your body down
Let me help you to unwind and calm down
Listen to my voice, the only sound
Pay attention to my voice, which is the only thing you need to focus on
As I lullaby you, lullaby you down
As I sing you to sleep, soothing you with my voice
