Even in the 2020s, when you think of a “global songstress,” Mariah Carey is still the first name that comes to mind.

In Japan as well, Mariah’s popularity and recognition are overwhelming.

When it comes to her Olympics-related songs, many might recall the historic classic “Hero,” which TBS used as its theme song during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

This time, let me introduce a track released in 2010 called “100%.” It may be less well known compared to “Hero,” but it was released as a promotional single to support Team USA at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and it’s a hidden gem that was not included on any of her studio albums.

It’s an emotional ballad quintessentially Mariah, and the gospel-tinged chorus at the end along with her ultra-high notes are truly breathtaking.

As for what the title “100%” signifies, read the lyrics closely and discover its true meaning!
