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.

Oh Santa! / All I Want For Christmas Is You
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But inside I feel so cold
So soon as you leave the North Pole
Santa won't you come and make
Him mine this Christmas
Santa's gonna come and make
Him mine this Christmas
Santa's gonna come and make
Him mine this Christmas
Santa's gonna come and make him mine, mine
(Jump Smokers)
Santa, if you get this letter
Won't you help me out
I know you're kinda busy with
Your elves right now and I don't know how
You do the things you do while
I sleep on Christmas Eve
But it's amazing and I bet that you could
Bring me back my baby
Because every time I see Christmas lights
I feel this burn inside and
I just can't take it
I saw them shopping last week
And his new girl was so bleak
And then I swore to myself
Santa's gonna come and make him
Mine this Christmas night
Ho, ho, ho santa's gonna come and make
You mine this Christmas
Santa's gonna come and make you mine, ho, ho
Ho santa's gonna come and make
You mine this Christmas
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you you baby
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
The trees are sparkly and gold
But inside I feel so cold
So soon as you leave the North Pole
Santa won't you come and make
Him mine this Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Santa's gonna come and make you mine
All I want for Christmas is you baby
In the song "Oh Santa!" by Mariah Carey, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation as the singer expresses her deep desire for Santa to bring back a lost love during Christmas time. The opening lines set a contrasting image of outward festive joy with inner feelings of coldness and emptiness, symbolizing the emotional void left by the departed loved one. The repetition of the plea to Santa to make "him mine this Christmas" highlights the singer's plea for a Christmas miracle to reunite with her former partner.
As the song progresses, the singer directly addresses Santa in a heartfelt plea, acknowledging his busy schedule but appealing to his magical abilities to help her regain what she has lost. The lyrics reflect a sense of admiration for Santa's extraordinary abilities and the hope that he can perform a miracle, bringing back the lost love just in time for the holiday season. The mention of Christmas lights intensifying the emotional pain further emphasizes the impact of the separation and the yearning for reconciliation.
The lyrics take a more specific turn as the singer recalls a recent encounter with her ex and his new partner, prompting a vow that Santa will intervene and make him hers again on Christmas night. This declaration of intent signifies determination and belief in the power of Christmas magic to mend relationships and bring about joy and love once more. The playful references to "ho, ho, ho" reinforce the festive spirit and add a touch of whimsy to the emotional plea for Santa's intervention.
Closing the song with the iconic chorus of "All I Want for Christmas Is You," the lyrics express a simple yet profound sentiment of prioritizing love and connection over material gifts during the holiday season. The repetition of the chorus underscores the central theme of the song, emphasizing the singular desire for a reunion with the beloved individual. In essence, the lyrics encapsulate the universal longing for love and togetherness, highlighting the magical and transformative power of Christmas in bringing people closer and fulfilling heartfelt wishes.
