In a 2005 interview Mariah had this to say about working with Nelly:
“When I worked with Nelly, that was the first time I worked with Nelly. Pharrell suggested that we should do a song together. We ended up collaborating together and I realize how melodic Nelly was.”

(Neptunes)
To the floor, everybody to the floor
MC, Nelly
Baby, I don't wanna let you think I'm
(I like to try you, I think you so on fire)
Easy, like them other girls you be seeing
I'm saying, I just want to make sure that
You really want me just for me
Because it's not just that I'm so impressed
By your cars and jewelry
And you know like I know
Feel that chemistry
(You know I feel it just the same as you
So won't you bring that down to me?)
Whatever happens (whatever happens)

The song "To the Floor" by Mariah Carey, featuring Nelly, is a dance song that is about being attracted to someone but making sure they are interested in you for more than just material things. The chorus encourages everyone to get down to the dance floor, setting the scene for a fun night.
Mariah sings from the perspective of a woman who wants to make sure that her love interest is interested in her for herself, not just for her looks or possessions. She wants to ensure that there is chemistry between them, making it clear that she can feel it, and she knows that he can too. The song's message is that the couple has business to handle, and it seems like it might be going down tonight.
The Neptunes produced "To the Floor," blending hip-hop beats with Mariah's pop sensibilities. The song was released as the fourth and final single from her tenth studio album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," in July 2006. The song received a music video that featured Mariah and Nelly dancing and singing in a club.
