Now, with ‘Home’s first full tracking week in its rear view we can find out if they were right:

While Mariah Carey fans have long loved ‘Caution’ cut ‘A No No,’ anticipation for the song’s release reached fever pitch when talk of a possible remix featuring Cardi B, Lil Kim, and Missy Elliott begun gaining volume.

Excitement then intensified when it was officially christened a single and a video was commissioned.
