The song was featured in “Glitter,” but didn’t have anything to do with the movie.
Mariah wrote this song at a difficult time in her life – she was relatively unsuccessful, the aforementioned death of Tonjua Twist, and her father would pass soon after this song’s release. She compares how she is ‘feeling kind of fragile’ and it reminds her of the struggles Tonjua had went through.

Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside
Childlike and effervescent
With a well of pain
The depth of
I could not imagine
Never thought that I
Would hear them say
Twister went and
Threw it all away
She was kind of magical
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release
Dear God
It's all so tragic
And I'll never
Have the chance
To feel the closure
That I ultimately need
No, I never dreamed
That there would
Come a time
Twister'd go and
Leave it all behind
Lord I pray
She's found some peace
And her soul's
Somewhere at ease
Yeah I'm feeling kind of fragile
And I've got a lot to handle
But I guess this is my way
Of saying goodbye
