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.

When Do The Bells Ring For Me
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When someone tugs a heart string for me
When does it come my time
When does the poem rhyme
When do the songs they sing, sing for me
To those who say hey, wake up and feel life
I say, I'm ready, just show me the way
Welcome to real life
And I'll stay, I'll stay
How many parties more can I run to
How many little loves can there be
For it's all a bore
Forget it, I want more
I want someone to want more of me
Like making promises, good in the daylight
The thing is here am I, where is she
When is it my chance
When is it my dance
When do the bells ring for me
In the song When Do The Bells Ring For Me by Mariah Carey, the singer laments about her desire to find true love and when it will finally be her time to experience it. She questions when the bells will ring for her and when someone will "tug a heart string" for her. She wonders when she will finally find her soulmate and her life will truly begin. She imagines the moment when the poem rhymes, and the songs will sing for her. The singer asserts that she is ready to embrace real life and love, but she needs someone to guide her in that direction. She wants to find the person whose arms will welcome her in and stay with her.
The lyrics describe someone who isn't content with the mundane things in life. The parties and little loves are boring and forgettable to her. She wants more and someone to want more of her. The singer is looking for a deep, meaningful connection with someone who makes promises in the daylight and follows through on them. She wants to know when it's her turn to take the lead and dance with someone special, waiting for the bells to ring.
The song illustrates a theme of longing for love, connection, and understanding. The singer questions if she will ever find the right person to share her life with and ponders when her time will come. She expresses a desire to be loved and appreciated by someone who sees her worth.
