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 ↴
(Let's talk 'bout love, won't end, won't end)
This is my love story
Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes
Time stands still and two hearts catch fire
Off they go roller-coaster ride
Twisted all out they minds
And then his friends
Said "its too soon to settle down"
And then her friends
Said "he's a playa, slow it down"
They couldn't be who they was
'Cause it just seemed like love
Wasn't on their side
But this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's just too real
They'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon' end up
Like that Casablanca movie, no
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly ours for the eternity
They'll be no end to our love story baby
(Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end)
There's no end to our love story
Chapter two
When they meet up again
Second time around
See but they're just friends
But the feelings still strong
And it's been too long
To be trippin' like they ain't been missing
They on the phone like
Ay bay bay
Let's meet up today
Got's bout an hour or two
You might as well come through
We can make it like it was
Just the two of us
Back up on that roller-coaster
Like we been supposed to
'Cause this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's just too real
They'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon end up
Like that Casablanca movie (no)
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly ours for the eternity
They'll be no end to our love story baby
Just when it seemed
Like all the odds
Were stacked against them
They came back stronger then before
Matter fact then some
Stronger then pride
Lookin' like them
Lookin' like her, lookin' like him
Stronger then hate
And the whole world too
Lookin' like me
Lookin' like you
'Cause this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's just too real
They'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon end up
Like that Casablanca movie, no
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly ours for the eternity
They'll be no end to our love story baby
Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end
Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end
Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end
Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end

(Let's talk 'bout love, won't end, won't end)
This love story is about the unbreakable bond between two people
This is my love story
The singer is describing a personal experience of love and commitment
Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes
The beginning of a relationship is often marked by a powerful, emotional connection
Time stands still and two hearts catch fire
The feelings are so intense that everything around them seems to stop in time
Off they go roller-coaster ride
The relationship is unpredictable and exciting like a roller-coaster
Up and down and around
There are many highs and lows that come with being in love
Twisted all out they minds
Being in love can sometimes make people act irrational or make questionable decisions
And then his friends
Outside influences can have an impact on a relationship
Said "its too soon to settle down"
His friends thought that he was moving too fast in the relationship
And then her friends
Her friends also had something to say about the relationship
Said "he's a playa, slow it down"
Her friends thought that he was not trustworthy and advised her to take things slow
They couldn't be who they was
The societal pressures and outside opinions prevented them from being their true selves
'Cause it just seemed like love
Despite the challenges, their love was still strong
Wasn't on their side
It seemed like everything was working against their relationship
But this isn't just another love story
Their love story is unique and special compared to others
Together we'll make history
Their love is so powerful that it will make an impact on the world
I know because it's just too real
Their love is based on genuine, authentic feelings
There'll be no end to our love story
Their love is infinite and will never fade away
And this ain't gon' end up
Their love story will not have a negative outcome
Like that Casablanca movie, no
Their story will not have the same ending as the famous romantic movie
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
Their love story is real and not contrived
This is truly ours for the eternity
Their love is meant to last forever
Chapter two
The artist introduces a new chapter in their love story
When they meet up again
The couple has a chance to reconnect after some time apart
Second time around
Their love has another chance to blossom
See but they're just friends
Despite their past, they have reconnected as friends
But the feelings still strong
There are still strong feelings between the couple
And it's been too long
They have been apart for too long and need to reconnect
To be trippin' like they ain't been missing
They can't deny the fact that they have missed each other
They on the phone like
They are communicating through modern technology
Ay bay bay
A playful expression of love and affection
Let's meet up today
They make plans to see each other
Got's bout an hour or two
They have a limited amount of time to spend together
You might as well come through
They encourage each other to take advantage of the time they have
We can make it like it was
They want to relive the positive aspects of their past relationship
Just the two of us
They want to start fresh as just the two of them
Back up on that roller-coaster
They are once again taking a ride on the unpredictable journey of love
Like we been supposed to
It feels like this is how their relationship was meant to be
Just when it seemed
When everything seemed to be going wrong
Like all the odds
Despite the many obstacles they faced
Were stacked against them
Their love was able to conquer all
They came back stronger then before
Their love has grown stronger after overcoming challenges
Matter fact then some
In fact, their love is stronger than ever before
Stronger then pride
Their love is stronger than their individual egos
Lookin' like them
The couple now looks like a perfect match
Lookin' like her, lookin' like him
Their individual identities have merged into a beautiful, cohesive whole
Stronger then hate
Their love is even stronger than any hatred or negativity they may have faced
And the whole world too
Their love is so strong that it can overcome any obstacle, no matter how big
Lookin' like me
The couple now looks like the singer
Lookin' like you
The couple now looks like the listener

I love to see Mariah in her natural curls. She’s so beautiful in this video.
Brenda Andrade
Same
Ms oddballz
I just found out from an interview that she started wearing her natural hair during this era because nick loved seeing her wear her natural hair.
Natural Kinky Curly―Marie
@Ms oddballz She was still wearing her Hair straight during this Era. It's on and off. When she's home her Hair is Curly. Most of the time it's Curly when she's just chilling. She never Chemically straightened it that's why, so it curls after a shower.

This song still gives me goosebumps. Such a beautiful song. ❤️
