  • this track is included recently in her new compilation album entitled the essential mariah carey, i think this song was originally included on b-side of her always be my baby single

  • Mariah Carey <3

  • i can't believe i'm only listening to this in 2012 for the first time!!! love at first hearing!

  • This song could be made this year and still sound brand new.

  • amo a esta mujer !

  • i was 15 lol! love mimi!! 

  • Love this song?

  • Perfect Love u MIMI

  • I love to listen Mariah Carey (: . <3

  • OMG summer 95 right here!!!! WOW what memories of leaving school. I was 15, thought i was in love with a crush & now im a 32yr old married mum! :)

    Great times. I love her true sound which is what we all friking love her for!

  • She could have released this as a single and it would have killed! This'll always be one of my Mariah faves.

  • THIS..THIS right here is TRUE RnB ...Not the shit you hear on the radio

  • @zblamm2121 mariah has perfect R&B songs :)

  • Mariah's voice is too dang addicting!!!

    I can never get enough of her old tunes :]

  • This is when she began to explore more of her Rhythm & Blues, Soul and Hip Hop side. Love it!

  • luv this!

  • I was listening to her since I was 17-18 years old now I am 36 that is long, she is still my doll.................

  • @Mohammadas75 little older than me. started listening when I was 15 right around when daydream was released. One of the greatest thing for me was to rediscover her earlier songs before I started listening. Still consider daydream my all time favorite album though.

  • I'm in love with this song,this is real R&B not the dance crap we get nowadays!!

  • its crazy how many people dont know of this song... its one of her best and i think one of the best R&B songs of all time. the chorus is a thousand stories high . the falsetto at the beginning seems like it should of been done before but u never hear anything like that, and her upperchest register glides over the song soo easily almost like the music was made after she sang it.

  • its so sad that this type of music is just dead. i wonder if it will ever make a comeback? artists like mariah and marvin gaye just dont get the attention they deserve anymore

  • I don't think the reason this song was not included on Daydream was anything to do with it being too R&B. Certainly Long Ago, Melt Away and Always Be My Baby fall into that category alongside Slipping Away. I think the reason is obvious - the song's lyrical content is clearly about Mariah's failing marriage; it's no wonder Tommy kept the track off the album.

  • @supbilly07 Wow I never thought of it that way. I love this song and now I get why it was excluded. Thank you.

  • I'm in tears right now....love this song, MC Forever!!!

  • this song's way too urban for daydream but they could've put it on butterfly!

  • @misses18yearold in a way but I think 'Long Ago' is slightly more urban than this. So this song may have fit well with this album. :)

  • @CartoonPropaganda They're about equal. Do you hear the drums in this song? No pop song is going to have feature this kind of drumming...much less, a thick, grooving bassline.

    Long Ago is just faster and it draws more from hip hop. Slipping Away is a contemporary R&B slow jam. Both are urban and both wouldn't of been recieved all that well by the white pop/AC audience at the time.

  • @CartoonPropaganda yeah i bet tommy forced her to choose one or the other just because fantasy and always be my baby were already pushing it lol oh sony and it's fear of r&b

  • @misses18yearold I know right, that was probably the reason? This is such good track but of course it would take away from Mariah's then pop image and Mottola wasn't ready for that ever.

  • @CartoonPropaganda i know! and that's the same reason he rejected other classics like "do you think of me" and "everything fades away". those songs could've been on music box but he thought they were too "adult" so he rejected them. in my opinion "do you think of me" is easily better than half the tracks on music box so he was out of his mind to push that song aside

  • she needs to release a b-sides/unreleased album like NOW!

  • @misses18yearold yeah definitely! She should put this, Do You Think Of Me, Everything Fades Away and the demo version of Vision of Love which she is always saying how she prefers it, but we never got to hear it!

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks omg yes! and have you heard "there for me"? so beautiful <3

  • This Proves Why Mariah Is The Queen Of Music. The Song Bird Supreme Queen MC <3

  • She's just pure AMAZING :) My hero!!

  • She should have released this as a single. I'm sure It would gone straight to #1.

  • This is like a perfect song!

  • Wow so perfeccttttt!!! Love that soul and R&B especially 0:19

  • Nick cannon is the luckiest guy on the planet.........

  • Perfect <33 All her songs are perfect , my gosh!

  • @CrystalMurphyMusic Stop spamming.

  • @imafan123456 lmfao..i thought me and a few of my friends on here are the ones who realize that annoying same damn post! :/

  • @kelvinpyaeko She's spamming on every Mariah video. So annoying lol!

  • @imafan123456 lol. i know. she used to PROMOTE herself (LOL) like 'people say she sounds like mariah'. like really, gurl? then me and a bunch of my friends went in and told her that her tone is no where near velvet and unique like mc and she got mad. and i think that's the reason why she stopped advertising herself in that way and now she does that new post with 'youtube honor' statement lol

  • @kelvinpyaeko Lol, yeah I had a look at her channel as well and she's no where near as good as she's promoting :S She should leave the songs to Mariah.

  • @imafan123456 she covered those extremely hard mc's songs. i appreciate her guts and all to sing those songs, but hell no. she doesn't have vocal chops like mc to touch those songs. half of them are pretty bad.

  • Omg!!!!! This Is amazing!!!!

  • @honeybflie where did you get that photo? mariah looks hot!!! =P

  • This sounds EXACTLY like Vanishing, except in a different genre... :D

    LOVE. IT.

  • god i love this song so much

  • good groove!

  • This song is very telling. No wonder Tommy Mottola didn't want it to be released on the Daydream album. I love the song though- MARIAH YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!

  • slipping awayy=)

  • Now this is real R&B...rhythm and blues.

    I don't mean to come off as presumptuous but I think this song is about Tommy Mottola...

  • 1995? No wonder it didn't make the cut for Daydream...Mottola.

  • God I just LOVE this song!!! This is the first time I heard it ...and fell in love with it right away! It also applies to my current situation...makes me cry...

    Dedicated to the man (or should I say the beast!!!) who crushed my heart... :'(((

  • One of my favourite Mariah songs. Love it!

  • superbe chanson j aime

  • I actually Love this song so much!

  • A song that definitely shows Mariah's God given voice but also her amazing talent as a songwriter.

    This will always be remembered as one of Mariah Carey's most amazing songs.

  • I miss the old Mariah :( i've been listening to her since i was 7 and im 20 now.

  • @tessab0o Just keep listening to her old stuff and you won't have to miss her.. She's still the same. But you have to move with whats hot when your in the industry... Just like Ballads aren't very popular for anyone right now. Its all Pop songs thats making it to the top now...

  • @tessab0o YOU ARE GETTING OLD LOL JUST JOKING :) HER MUSIC TRANSCENDS!

  • @tessab0o how cute but ppl change just continue tyo love her

  • @tessab0o miss the old mariah... now i'm 30!!!

  • @tessab0o Yeah me too, I find I mostly listen to old music anyways. 

  • what beautiful gem of a song!!.....there aren't many unreleased/ b sides in Ms. Carey's catalog so this is especially a find and truly one her best... its sad to think but i cant help how this song reminds me of the late/great Teena Marie......another great artist of R&B

  • this song is about tommy mottola

  • @loanme2dollarz shes never said so?

  • @CyprusHot its obvious the song is about him.. listen to the lyrics this was a song on abmb single realeased in 96 they sepreated in 97.

  • LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  • Amazing song... It blew me away when i first heard it.

  • shit i was looking for nine inch nails

  • she is so damn timeless!

  • I freaking LOVE this song.

  • If someone that loves you lets you slip away when you're in love with that someone, doesn't reply, it doesn't matter my heart can't be anymore broken, life is just like that, the only way for me to heal my heart is to move on, let go, I've been living in hope for too long, I just can't wait until everything I see reminds me of that someone stops, I get the point, I'm letting you go too baby, it's just gonna be harder for me, that's what happens when ur really deeply in love, IT'S OKAY!

  • @ck4funkin honey i know exacly what u mean,,, ive been trough the same so many times! But i trie to believe that the person just wasnt the one, and that in time my true prince will pass by, someone who will love me everyday always, and wants to be with my so badly, just like i want to be with him..... It excists and i still believe, we just need to be patient be strong and move on and open our eyes for the person who is really worth it!

  • I love this song. It's on her "Always Be My Baby" single album. It has this song and the remix of Always Be My Baby with Xscape and Da Brat

  • I remember this being an added to track to the single Always Be My Baby...I always liked the song...so it actually was released....more like unsung..this shows her crossover from Pop to R&B/Soul music.

  • Comment removed

  • Love this song. Always have!

  • This song is one of my favorites! Mariah's voice comes from heaven :)

  • Reminds me of Underneath the stars. Love it :)

  • i love this song when i first heard it ....

  • ..i love this song, so much.

  • I guess this was too R&B in Sony's eyes for her album. This is a real R&B track. Nowadays people think of R&B as rapping, a bit of singing with a bouncy club type beat, whatever happened to music like this? Slow, smooth and sexy is what it should be not all 'we up in da club' shit we get today. I wish she'd release a track like this today, somebody needs to save music and bring back real R&B. I can't remember the last R&B song I heard that sounded anywhere near as good as this.

  • @isuckatguitar100 rumor has it that tommy gave her alot of problems on the songs she was writing and recording for daydream. deeming them too personal and a hint at there failing marriage. and when you closely listen to the lyrics that may actually be the case and why it wasent put on the album. shame too cause i think it would have went #1

  • @isuckatguitar100 i totally agree. however, i think maxwell was tryna recreate the 90s r&b magic with "pretty wings" - its not as good as the 90s but i think its close. but im sick and tired of everyone trying to sound like robots. its actually gettin worse because like 5-10 years ago, the songs werent that bad. but oh well, at least we can still reminisce...

  • @Da1uLyK honestly do you think people still wanna hear ballads i wanna know cause i mean i get you and im sick of the robot stuff to but do you think a song like vision of love could be popular now..........i wish it would be

  • @BxzD9159595 Yeah it probably wouldn't. Just look at the hot 100 every week, there's hardly a ballad in it and a ballad never makes top 10 anymore

  • @Da1uLyK eventually though in a couple of years idk maybe its just me but ballads will be big again because if you look at the 80s and the whole pop and dance time it shifted into ballads like crazy in like the early 90s and evetually when people get over the pop dance thing again someone will probably bring it back .... hopefully

  • @BxzD9159595 hopefully yes. But really I wouldn't care less if 90s-like ballads were never mainstream again as long as somebody's making fresh ones somewhere. If that doesn't happen, well at least we got these ones. Oh and we got Susan Boyle to help make big ballads "da ish" again. lol

    (not that the other ballads being produced today suck, just that SB is super popular hence influential atm)

  • @isuckatguitar100 - I was thinking the same thing before I read your very true comment! This is the MC I love the most. This track, Breakdown with BTNH and the Remix of I Still Believe with Da Brat and Krayzie bone. These songs are smoothe and real R&B jams! Still love her but wish she had more songs like this.....

  • I love this song. It was released with the Always Be My Baby Single. I love it! Thank you for uploading this good memory. :)

  • Proof that this woman's most brilliant musical moments aren't her singles. Or hell, necessarily even on the album.

  • slipjeee

  • This woman is so ICONIC!! It's scary!! Mariah is so powerful but people are scared to let this Bi-Racial woman get the credit she deserves!! If she claimed to be White Mariah would be so much more popular!

  • i got this on sept 15th and its my bday

  • This is an amazing song! Not even lying...this should be released today!

  • Time after time I reach for you, I try and try but you're so aloof ... OMG why was this not a single!! "stinking motolla and friends...." :(

  • how does she do that???? she just opens the mouth, a few words....and here I am flying & dreaming over her song, OMG :)))) Love her!

  • another great song by Mariah. Happy people know about this song

  • nice song of mariah

  • Very amazing song!! Perfect example of the genius in Mariah Carey! This song should've been a hit!

  • Love this song sooo much.

  • mimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ii

  • memories of summer 96'..............

  • wow dis song is still hottttt.....go MC

  • slipping away from me..... such a fantastic song. Relatable lyrics. Nice and relaxing. Like it  =)

  • I know..i think about me and my ex everytime i hear this. takes me back everytime!

  • I love mariah carey!! her voice is amazing!! and so is this song!!

  • Mariah's voice was MADE for R&B and ballads. So velvety and smooth. Her voice just makes you melt. Nick Cannon is one lucky guy...

  • @brunette6 yes it s tru

  • I love this song..i don't know why this song didn't make it to her album. such an amazing song.

  • "Sony' thought it was too R&B for the Daydream album, aslo the same reason Underneath The Stars wasn't released as a single. But I still happy to have it on the Always Be My Baby single. My friend were always trying to steal it, asking me to dub it for them . I was like 'go buy your own, its $2 at Wal-Mart." I miss those days.

  • This was released in limited copies.this cd single has a barcode it is not as some people have suggested a promo . Promos dont have barcodes . I bought mine in the uk from a specialist soul shop .written by mariah carey co produced with dave jam hall for untouchables entertainmet

  • i'm sure that if this song entered any charts today it would've become #1 after a day!!!!!!

  • u think? even tho the world is after fast dance tracks like "bad romance" (lady gaga) or "sexy chick" (david guetta). hmmm....probably not, even tho i think its an amazing song!!

  • @aihssac1982 im not sure little stupid kids who make stupid songs #1 hits would like this one. absolutely no taste in music! kesha doesn't deserve to be in #1 with songs like hers... and a lot more i bet whoever is in #1 now doesn't deserve it atleast not as much as mariah does...

  • @aihssac1982: True. This is a great song.

  • woot woot

    lamb 4 lyfe

  • I loooooooooove MARIAH

  • I love youuuuu Mariaaaaaaah!!!!!

    =)

  • lool....i tot it was 'circles' from TEOM...the beginning of the song sounds similiar to it.

  • Love it. I relate to it SO much.

  • Holly Shit man this song is bumpin. I dont know why she would hold this song from the world. MARIAH CAREY RULES!!!!!!!! I've always said that. MARIAH CAREY RULES because of her crazy, legendary, beautiful voice and the "know" for music.. And to SUPERX57 i thought the same thing. BENGALICANARY, yes we should! I LOVE THIS SONG MARIAH CAREY! hhmm I wonder if MIMI goes on youtube and reads her comments. I wonder if MARIAH produced it herself... LAMB out.

  • L0l..i W0NdER.hAhA..

    bUhT i AGREE WiTChU...:)

    MARiAh iS MUh id0l...

  • big big big mariah fan

  • Too bad, this song wasn´t released!

  • i think mariah is an amazN artist

    bak then & NOW

    shes very talentd

    ppl dnt stay "the same"

    especially if they've been around fer so long

    i cant stand when i c ppl keep judgN her like that

    where r her tru fans

    those r the 1s who matter

    lovley song btw

    fits me

  • m not even sure if i shall but her new album and i have them all. Ive heard a few tracks but not sure...wish she would go back to the good old days when she sang all those beautiful ballads..

  • @tasiawful1 if u havent heard "its a wrap" from memoirs then i think that will make u buy it

  • 1 of my faav songs

    i love it <3

  • This song sounds like it should be on The Emancipation of Mimi.

  • the release date has been changed again. Current date is sept 29th, 2009.

  • she should release a CD of B-side rarieties like this that would be HOTT

  • it would be there 1# songs for choore

  • I'd deffo go out and buy an album like that! There's so many tracks like this that I keep discovering and it's frustrating as a fan to not have easy access to trakcs like this. We should start a petition haha.

  • Nick Cannon is the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet.

  • Nick Cannon so VERY is a lucky guy

  • @KakashiBallZ true that

  • @KakashiBallZ wow.. that is all you care about? you need to care about the message tht her songs give out! not her apperence on the screen,

  • @singerdancerfreak123 Yeah....like all the chicks right? lmfao

  • well this is mariah carey...

  • i miss the old school MAriah!!!

  • well this isnt old school its 2009!! so get used 2 da new skool mariah!!

  • ok...

  • I think what marimar014 is saying that he/she misses the classic songs like this M used to make, which I agree. I wish she'd step away from the hip hop genre and go back to what she does best :D

  • but songs like webelong together,bye bye,and i stay in love are r and b,and more...

  • mariah wants to be on the charts, so bad. it's sad. She is a pop singer with rnb tones. She KNOWS from twitter her fans want Classic Pop songs from her, but to stay on the charts with Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady gaga who are much LESS talented, she puts out the fluff like touch My Body, Obsessed.

    Eventually, she will find her way home. they always do.

  • i certainly hope you're right although i quite like a lot of her r&b stuff too. her ballads were more meaningful lyrically

  • How I wish she goes back on her wholesome pop style and I don't think it will hinder her from staying on charts...

  • wine and champagne are both considered alcoholic drinks.

    ....You could tell she was really emotional @ Michael Jackson's memorial. I think it's cool she sang 'I'll Be There' with Trey Lorenz, like on her MTV Unlpugged album. He was obviously a musical hero of both.

  • mariah ur so FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIINE!!

  • no bitch in diz world can touch her voice real talk!! and i mean no bitch!!!

  • Any alcohol makes the vocal cords swell, making it harder to hit notes. You can see the correlation between not so perfect live performances anymore with her interviews where the journalist say she had multiple glasses of wine.

  • she dnt drink alcohal though!!!

  • she doesn't binge drink but she drinks red wine

  • She always shocks me when i find this song & im so impressed how she can change to R&B & People still love her. I think This Music matches her x]
