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 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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What it do, what it do?
What it look like, look like?
What it do, what it do?
(MC, holla at the people one time)
Got me fly and sexy
Something in you gets me so tingly insideVisions of us in the cut tonight
And I find you so appealing
Definitely feeling you
If you didn't know
Boy, you're the secret I've never told
Bet you think I'm teasing
But I ain't got no reason to deny
The way I feel inside tonight
I just wanna touch you
Put my hands on you and love you
You'll be like "I want you over and over and over and over again"
(What it look like?)
Me and you making it last all night
(What it do, what it do?)
My heart is beating faster all the time
(What it look like?)
Boy, you don't even know
Everything that flows through my mind
(What it do, what it do?)
Ooh, boy, what you gonna do about it?
Listen, I got stacks like the international house of pancakes
Your man great, got more Rovers then a Land makes
I make hits and I don't care about your damn hate
You know this man take trips to Japan
Tell him to try to run way out
What would I land on
'05's my year, '06 ain't stopping
You look up again and the charts I'm topping
That's how I do it, man
What must I say? (What must I say?)
What must I do (what must I do for you, babe?)
To show how much
I think about freaking you?
What must I say, what must I do?
To show how much
I think about freaking you?
Tonight, I need your body
(I need your body, baby)
Tonight, you got my time
(Every little second of my time, baby)
Tonight, you won't be sorry
(No, you won't be sorry, baby)
Tonight, you going be mine (come on)
Bet you think I'm teasing
But I ain't got no reason to deny
The way I feel inside tonight
I just wanna touch you
Put my hands on you and love you
You'll be like "I want you over and over and over and over again"
(What it look like?)
Me and you making it last all night
(What it do, what it do?)
My heart is beating faster all the time
(What it look like?)
Boy, you don't even know
Everything that flows through my mind
(What it do, what it do?)
Ooh, boy what you going to do about it?
(What it look like?)
Me and you making it last all night
(What it do, what it do?)
My heart is beating faster all the time
(What it look like?)
Boy, you don't even know
Everything that flows through my mind
(What it do, what it do?)
Ooh, boy what you going to do about it?
In "Makin' It Last All Night," Mariah Carey sings about being irresistibly attracted to someone who makes her feel sexy and alive. The lyrics describe her desire to spend the night with this person, to touch and love them again and again. The chorus repeats the lines "Me and you making it last all night / My heart is beating faster all the time / Boy, you don't even know / Everything that flows through my mind / Ooh, boy what you going to do about it?" This emphasis on the physical sensations and mental excitement of the moment suggests an intense and passionate encounter.
Towards the end of the song, Mariah hands the microphone over to rapper Cam'ron. He boasts about his success and wealth, referencing his ability to travel the world and stay on top of the charts. Cam'ron's verse adds a touch of aggression to the song's overall tone, emphasizing the confidence and power that come with success. This could be interpreted as a reflection of Mariah's own career as a successful artist.
Overall, "Makin' It Last All Night" is a sultry and confident track that celebrates the pleasures of attraction and desire. Its emphasis on both physical and mental sensations suggests a complex and intense experience, one that transcends simple lust and incorporates a wide range of emotions and sensations.
