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.

Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me

I don't know how you do it
Never felt like this before

Something that you do
Mesmerizes me

Line by Line Meaning
Something that you do
There's a certain something about you
Hypnotizes me
That makes me feel dazed and mesmerized
Sets my soul at ease
That brings me peace and tranquility
Every time you're near me
Whenever you're in my vicinity
I'm in heaven baby
I feel like I'm in paradise
I don't know how you do it
I'm unsure how you could have such an effect
Never felt like this before
I've never experienced this sensation previously
I don't wanna lose it
I don't want this feeling to disappear
Give me all your love
Show me your affection
(More and more and more)
(I desire it increasingly)
Mesmerizes me
You have a hold over me
Sets my body free
I feel liberated physically
Every time you touch me
Whenever you make contact with me
I don't know how you do it
I'm still bewildered by your power
Never felt so sweet before
I've never experienced anything as pleasurable
Tell me are you feeling the same, oh baby
Do you have the same emotions for me?
Every minute of the day
24/7, all the time
(Oh I'm never gonna let you go)

To devote all my love to you
