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 ↴
Oh why (oh why)
Did (did)
Ooh whoah
I should have known
That you'd
Right from the start
That you'd
Knowing I was
My heart
Knowing I was
So vulnerable
Oh
The lyrics of Mariah Carey's song "Vulnerability" delve deep into the feeling of heartbreak and betrayal. The song communicates the raw emotions of a person who put their trust, love, and vulnerability in someone who ends up breaking their heart. The first verse begins with the question of why someone would hurt someone who is so vulnerable and trusting. Mariah then sings about how she should have seen the signs of betrayal right from the start. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being vulnerable and how it led to heartbreak, and she repeats this feeling in the final lines.
One can also observe the overall mood of the song is melancholic, and the melody of the chorus is quite impressive. The simple piano notes, coupled with Mariah's emotive vocals, make Vulnerability a beautifully haunting song. The lyrics are a reflection of the personal experiences that Mariah Carey encountered during the early 90s when she and Tommy Mottola were going through a divorce. Mariah acknowledged that she wrote a fair share of sad songs during that period to reveal her emotions.
