Mariah Carey's masterpiece. A collection of gemlike songs that resonate with the heart.

Play This Song (ft. Anderson .Paak)Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey, who has led the global music scene for many years, returns with her first album in seven years, Here for It All.

Let me introduce a track featuring Anderson .Paak from the highly anticipated release.

As Mariah herself describes, the song exudes a comfortable “’70s vibe,” delivering supreme retro soul.

The two artists’ mature, unhurried vocals seem to sketch out a rich, music-filled moment.

Debuted on a popular TV show in September 2025, the performance sparked major buzz for their musical chemistry.

This is a perfect piece for nights when you want to dim the lights and listen closely, or for a drive with someone special.

I also recommend giving the album a spin—it’s packed with timeless appeal.

Shake It OffMariah Carey

This song, included on her 10th album The Emancipation of Mimi, which she released after overcoming what was considered a slump, was produced by the then-indispensable Jermaine Dupri.

With her nickname “Mimi” in the title, it’s a work that reflects Mariah’s deep personal attachment.

I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long TimeMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time (Official Music Video) ft. T.I.

In Japan, this is a song many people have likely heard as it was used as a theme for professional baseball.

The collaboration with the popular young rapper T.I.

is fantastic.

Thanks to this song, Mariah taking the mound for a ceremonial first pitch is also a recent memory.

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (Official Video)

It’s a gentle ballad by Mariah Carey included on her album “Merry Christmas,” released for the holiday season in the ’90s.

Created in 1994 as a collaboration with Walter Afanasieff, the song expresses the loneliness and heartache of not having a loved one by your side during the festive Christmas season.

Its calm arrangement featuring strings and Carey’s emotive vocals really resonate.

It’s a piece that quietly touches the heart when listened to on a Christmas spent apart from a partner or on a night when memories of a past love resurface.

ButterflyMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Butterfly

I think the title track from Mariah’s seventh album, “Butterfly,” is the most soothing, easy-listening song on the album.

It’s a piece that shows her whispery vocals are still going strong.

It was also used in a commercial in Japan.

I’ll Be ThereMariah Carey

I think this duet of the Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There” with Trey Lorenz is even better than the original by the Jackson 5.

It’s also a highly popular choice as a wedding song among many duets.

The lyrics are amazing!

When it comes to Christmas songs from the 1990s, many people likely think of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” This song, which you as a reader surely know, is Mariah Carey’s classic, released in 1994.

It became a worldwide hit immediately after its release, selling over 16 million records on its own.

Incidentally, it’s said that Mariah Carey has earned more than 5.6 billion yen in royalties from this song alone.

Truly a Christmas dream!
