Mariah Carey's iconic and popular songs

HeartbreakerMariah Carey

Mariah Carey, Jay-Z – Heartbreaker (Official HD Video)

A song in which Mariah, who had been collaborating one after another with hip-hop artists since the late ’90s, finally teamed up with the heavyweight rapper Jay-Z.

I remember listening to it with high expectations.

In the music video, Mariah’s slightly awkward dance is cute and leaves a strong impression.

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.

Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) (Official HD Video) ft. Westlife

A cover of Phil Collins’s hit song “Against All Odds.” It’s a gentle, listenable ballad that reminds us true classics never fade with time.

The duet version with Westlife is lovely as well.

All I Want for Christmas Is YouMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)

When it comes to Christmas songs, this is the one—“All I Want for Christmas Is You” (Japanese title: “Koibitotachi no Kurisumasu”)! It’s a track that makes you feel that way.

Ever since its release in ’94, even after 20 years, every Christmas season it’s the song I absolutely want to listen to and sing.

Mariah’s Santa outfit is charming and etched in my mind.

DreamloverMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Dreamlover (Official 4K Video)

Dreamlover, included on her third album Music Box.

Unlike the first and second albums, it gives the impression that she began incorporating more rhythmic elements.

I also love the lyrics, which feel like Mariah singing as her true self—they’re adorable.

FantasyMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Fantasy (Official 4K Video)

It’s no exaggeration to say that “Fantasy” was the turning point in Mariah’s musical style.

Her fifth album, Daydream, felt markedly different from her earlier work, with a stronger hip-hop flavor.

It’s a memorable track, as evidenced by its debut at No.

1 on the Billboard chart and its eight consecutive weeks at the top.

HeroMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Hero (Official HD Video)

This song, Hero, is a classic that many people in Japan remember, partly because Miho Nakayama covered it with Japanese lyrics under the same title.

I imagine many people have it as their go-to karaoke number.

With its slow tempo, it’s easy to sing, and the lyrics are easy to get emotionally involved with.
