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 ↴
Hello stranger, I'm mighty glad to see you
It's been a long long time (a long long time)
Things have changed
But the thought of your embrace
Lingered on my mind
There are words to say
And lead straight to your heart
You're overthinking that I'm only here to hurt you
That never crossed my mind
Still you're colder than an ice sea (baby, baby)
You're not your typical pisces
But listen, baby, you entice me
(Don't you see)
Invite me to your place
C'mon, c'mon
Stop giving me the feeling, girl
You're blocking what we're nearing
True love is never ending
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
(Not your typical pisces, hello...)
Hello stranger, I'm mighty glad to see you
Here stands a different man
I've settled down and matured a lot
I thought you'd understand
Still you're colder than an ice sea (baby, baby)
You're not your typical pisces
But baby, baby, you entice me
Invite me to your place, hey baby
Stop giving me the feeling, girl
You're blocking what we're nearing
True love is never ending
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
(Not your typical pisces, hello...)
It's been a long time since I saw you, baby
Never should have let you go
Looking in your eyes, like I'm hypnotized
Soon I'm here to serve your love
(You're not your typical pisces
You're colder than an ice sea...)
It's ok to love a stranger at your door
It's been a long time since i saw you baby
Never should have let you go
I wanna say
Hello, hello...
The song "Pisces" by Mariah Carey is about rekindling a past relationship. The lyrics express the excitement of seeing a long lost lover again after a prolonged absence. The singer of the song is happy to see the other person, but there is a palpable tension between them. They know a lot has changed since they last saw each other, but the feelings they had for each other have lingered on. The song portrays a complex mix of emotions - excitement, regret, and reluctance to put oneself out there again.
At one point, the singer talks about how the other person is colder than an ice sea and not like your typical Pisces. This is likely a reference to the traits associated with the Pisces astrological sign, such as creativity, intuition, and sensitivity. It implies that the other person is not as emotionally available as the singer would like them to be. Despite that, they still cannot resist being enticed by the other person.
Overall, "Pisces" is a soulful and introspective song that reflects on the struggles and complexities of reigniting a past relationship.
