With that whole ‘NYE’ fiasco in her rearview, pop icon Mariah Carey is looking to turn the tide on 2017. And, if what she’s teased via her new YG-assisted single is any indication, she will do just that!
As has been widely reported, Carey is set to drop her new single Sunday – a personal “breakup” anthem that will address the demise of her highly publicized relationship with billionaire James Packer. But, before we get our eyes and ears on the Donnell Jones‘ ‘Where I Wanna Be’-sampled bop in full, tuck in below to get a taste of what the diva is serving:
While we’ll reserve our judgement until we hear it in full, we can’t lie like this doesn’t sound promising.

I hope this single doesn’t suck! Please God no!!!
This sounds really good but when she got to the chorus I heard the struggle and strain in her voice. I hope that’s smoothed out before its release
It’s great. Why do people hate mariah on this blog? is it because she’s better than all of your faves so you’re jealous of her?
I think there are more MC supporters on here than haters.
Absolutely!!!!!! I don’t want another “Triumphant” or “Infinity” or even “Infamous” I need another #1!!!
Her vocals …. I just…. NO! The song sounds like it’s gonna be good, but vocally he’s not there..
B**** you tone deaf?
THe now Mariah Carey vocals are a no… I understand what your saying kim.kesha&Pam.
I never heard no drug use in Mariah Carey life.. so why is her voice just decent now?
ACohol
The amount of layering is just obscene
I don’t know…I hold that donell jones song Near and dear to my heart. She better not f*ck it up. Her vocals sounded very thin.
You shouldn’t be ragging on people Rashad, that’s not festive! Anyway, I really made this song for my #Lambily. Hope you enjoy dahhlings and don’t forget to watch Mariah’s World on Sunday night ?
Merp. Sounds like an Infinity 2.0. I need a WBT not a Triumphant. Sorry Moo try again :/
Someone needs to clean their ears. Surely doesn’t sound like infinity
Nothing like infinity…You tried.
You know…
I like it so far but mimi knows she isn’t the victim here, James is!
This is going to be epic.
Headed in the right direction MC!!!
Although I like Mariah she’s stuck in a musical rut, and not the best parts of her musicality.
I’m sorry but that whole ring removal bit was stagged and too extra for me.
I hope that the video is not just something recorded on an iphone and slays.
I can’t deal with a s*** video.
Hahahaha you guys are just gagging to hate on it…..even though that snippet is probably about a whopping 10 seconds if that, on some crappy IG sound quality haha! The reach! And nowhere has anyone said that this is the single OR that YG was on it….you’re assuming. Either way, I’m here for it! The beat sounds like it could be something!
Where I Wanna Be is such a classic. I’m sure urban radio will get behind this song.
I LOVE Mariah… I really, really do. I listen to her almost everyday. But she is singing INCOMFORTABLY OUTSIDE IF HER RANGE. and she sounds awful. Use ur beautiful lower register Mariah.. FŪÇK, man!? Wtf is this?
Uncomfortably ****
Of**
Rather hear the full song
Sounds like everything she does for fun. Not too serious. I doubt this is like a real single or anything. More like that song for Empire she did not long ago.
If she were to really start the campaign for a new album, I´m among the ones that think she would need to change direction and sound to make it successful commercially wise. Of course she has done it all so if this music is what makes her happy then so be it. She has paid her dues. For for it to work on a big scale, she needs a new sound. #Beautiful was the proof. Not to mention most sounds people like nowadays are way way easier to sing for her. It would be a win for everybody.
It’ll only be easy for her if she opts to pitch her vocals in a more comfortable place.., I don’t know why she insists on pitching up in the rafters. The amount of times she has slaaaaayed Thank God I Found You shows me that Mariah still has a great deal to offer. Her thick mid-range register gets neglected big time in favour of airy Triumphant-style shrieks. No wonder the masses think her voice is shot:/
BIG CONGRATS to Serena on #23!!!!!!!!????????
Yep, sounds like just a PROMO song to tie in with Mariah’s World, THAT’S IT. Nothing more . Cute song though but we need another break the radio type song like Beautiful. That song brought her back into the ears and pockets of the mainstream
I agree!!
SOUNDS HORRIBLE
This is not the song
So she’s sampling a Darnell Jones song. Boring, and this show is looking more and more like a poorly scripted reality show. You can tell they had to do something when ol boy dumped her.
I love Mariah, but this does not sound great. I’m not defending this.
I LOVE YOU MARIAH!! lmaoo! !!! Come through MC!! And I was DEAD at the dramatics of the ring drop!!! Lol! Sounds like she did Donnell Jones MORE than justice! So tgj, lol stop cuz I KNOW yal feeling this.
.
Sidenote: Haters will lowkey LOVE this lol.
I like what I’m hearing so far
This sounded terrible and super cheesy I hope that wasn’t the music video
She better act for her life, Her storyline is faker than a Real Housewives of BH luncheon.
If it drops on Amazon Music,ITunes or where ever after the finale I’m buying it!! ❤ you mimi!!
