Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

Mariah Carey - We Belong Together



Quote:
"We Belong Together" was not composed until late into the production of The Emancipation of Mimi.[1] Following an unsuccessful career period between 2001 and 2003, Carey began production on the album in 2004. By November of that year she had considered the album complete, but some of what became its more popular tracks had yet to be written.[1] Antonio "L.A." Reid, the chairman of Island Def Jam Records, encouraged Carey to attempt additional studio sessions with producer Jermaine Dupri. "L.A. was like, 'You and Jermaine Dupri make magic together, why aren't you in the studio with him?'" she recalled. "'I said, 'I love Jermaine, is he free? I know he's doing a million things.' [...] But Jermaine said, 'Come on down.'"[1]

Carey flew to Dupri's Atlanta studio and after two days, they composed two tracks for The Emancipation of Mimi ("Shake It Off" and "Get Your Number") and she returned to New York City; however, at this point "We Belong Together" was still not written. Reid was impressed with the album's new material and decided that Carey should return to Atlanta to compose more tracks.

In another two-day studio stint Carey, Dupri, Seal and Austin produced the album's first single "It's like That" as well as "We Belong Together". The composers discussed the song's melody at length, and subsequently simplified the arrangement in order to accentuate Carey's vocals in light of the album's promotional slogan, "The Return of the Voice". According to Carey, the song was recorded in one take and according to Clive Davis, We Belong Together is one of the most difficult songs ever recorded to sing live.[2]
