3/24/2023 0 Comments Mariah carey we belong together![]() I love her music so much and we’re like brother and sister. He didn’t want to set me on fire but we could have done it in post. It was 27 feet long and Brett wouldn’t let me burn the train! I don’t know what was wrong with him. My grandparents were in the audience.Ĭarey: I wanted to burn the train of the dress. She wanted to light the dress on fire, but I thought it was going to be too much. Ratner: The wedding dress she wore in the video is the same one she wore at her wedding to Tommy Mottola. We came up with the concept for both and got Eric Roberts and Wentworth Miller to be in the video. When he heard the song, he felt like it was a really big record, but we knew we had to get two videos out at once. We’re on our way to the video shoot now for the song “Infinity,” and it was the same type of reaction when he heard that song. ![]() Different tracks inspire him different ways. She was on the top of her game and wrote an incredible song.Ĭarey: Well I remember playing the song for Brett. She’ll do the ad-libs for me, so I learn the song really well. One of the best things about Mariah is that she sings lead vocal and all of her back-ups and all of the ad-libs on her songs. The song was now complete, and Carey chose her longtime friend Brett Ratner to direct the music video, which to date has more than 128 million views on YouTube.īrett Ratner: Usually the process is that Mariah will come over and will sing me a rough cut of the song and I’ll film her. He came to me and he said, “I need you to come up with one of those verses that I know you could do.” I threw the Bobby Womack line out there, and it was received pretty well. ![]() We were writing the second verse, “I didn’t mean it when I said I didn’t love you so,” and then JD was working on the track, and we sitting on beanbags singing, “I need you baby and everybody knows, you without me is like Snoop without hos.” Then Jermaine walks in the room and he was laughing, like, “Stop playing around and get to work.”Īustin: The second verse was different. It was a relaxed environment, with everyone throwing ideas on the piano and humming back and forth.Ĭarey: Me and Johntá were fooling around. There was definitely some pinot grigio on hand. She would throw an idea out there and Ron and Jermaine would start on the track. I usually like to work in the day, so I had to readjust my body clock. Johntá Austin: It was very, very late when we recorded this. That was the thought in bringing him back to do that. We were trying to recreate the magic we had. Me and Manuel did “Always Be My Baby” together. I’ve never seen him this focused before.ĭupri: That was the first time that Johntá was brought in to write. I’m used to be being the most focused person in the room, but on this particular track, Jermaine was so focused. I loved “Shake It Off,” then we had to really sit down together and focus. Me, Jermaine, and Johntá were writing for the album. Mariah Carey: This is the song that I worked hardest on with Jermaine. It was like 6:00, 7:30 in the morning, and Mariah was like, “Focus, c’mon let’s go.” We didn’t even get to finish recording it down here. She didn’t really want to spend the night. Dupri: Mariah didn’t want to come stay in Atlanta.
