I love that she used big words in her songs. She is such a talented song writer and basically a poet if you really listen to some of her other songs it’s really impressive.
I never knew until the past 5 months that there were background vocals of just Mariah repeating and harmonizing with Jay-Z's rap verses, it really does show how intricately she could style her work.
The vocal layering in the final chorus is everything. She masterfully placed the intro hook, the pre-chorus, and the chorus on top of each other and they all complement each other perfectly. She might as well could have placed any of the two verses on it and the combination would still be flawless. They don't make intricately-made pop #1 hits like this anymore.
Yooooo. I’ve been a Mariah Stan since 1995, and Heartbreaker is one of my favorite songs by her. Like I’ve literally listened to this song thousands of times by now and have never realized the pre chorus was included in the final chorus as well. I can hear the obvious “gimme your loves,” but the “boy, if I Dos” are a lot more subtle, but they’re there. It’s crazy how I notice things like this in her songs many years after they come out. What other singer in popular music even comes close to her background vocals and how her vocals melt into her songs? Now I can’t stop playing this part on repeat. I feel like I’m rediscovering the song in some way. LOL Thanks!
I’m amazed, there’re many vocal layers from each part of the song in final chorus. Only layer ‘Gimme you love’ itself has more than one layer. She has to sing many tunes to make this song.
Soo precisely done.... I just keep on playing it back excessively....I should have known right from the start ...she would go and play my HEART!! GIVE ME UR LOVE...GIVE ME UR LOVE... ❤️🔥🌹❤️🔥🌹❤️🔥🌹❤️🔥
I was playing this in the car with the windows down a few weeks ago & the number of folks who stopped, turned around, & looked at my car & clearly felt the same thing I did playing the song was so endearing & weirdly thrilling. 🥰
This video is ICONIC! Some of the many reasons are: 1. Mariah wearing low-waist jeans (originally high-waist) in a time it wasn’t famous to wear them. 2. Evil Mariah (dark hair) has a name and it’s Bianca. 3. Jackie Chan doing the choreography for the fight scene in the bathroom.
She ended the 90's with a billboard hot 100 number 1.. Completely dominanting the whole decade.. No one up to this day has done what she has accomplished in a single decade.. Such a mega superstar.. Theeeee Mariah Carey of the Industry ♥️
@@RDrRD1989 sorry but only Mariah Carey able to dominate a single decade, no one in history of the hot 100, a male or group able to score a hot 100 number 1, in any decade aside from mariah ☺
Ok who writes lyrics like this? It's a shame to be so euphoric and weak When you smile at me And you tell me the things that you know Persuade me to relinquish my love to you But I can not resist at all A LYRICAL GENIUS that's who!
Facctttsss! I remember my older sister who was in high school at the time, playing this song every morning when she was getting ready for school! I was like 4 and I loved the song, and never forgot it! ❤️❤️❤️ I definitely did not know what I was singing about though LOL 😭
She’s getting cheated on, by her another woman who is also her , while being the star of the mv, actress, having a brawl in the bathroom with another her, all while singing high and whistle notes and wearing high heels. Truley Iconic
I never paid attention to how good Mariah acted in this. When she is evil Mariah, she's completely different, her expressions, the way she moves. She doesn't over act and yet it feels like a completely different person,
I was in high school when this came out & we all went nuts how good she looked with black hair and how well she acted. This is one of my favorite music videos of that era.
It pisses me off how most of Mariah Carey's videos don't have over 100 million views. If youtube came out in the 90s she would have a billion for every song on here
Right. Fantasy was a success, but only has 69M. Shake It Off peaked at #2, but it only has 54M. The only major ones that have over 100M are One Sweet Day, We Belong Together, and AIWFCIY. I agree with you

R J bodey I lived my teenage years in the 90’s till turning 20 at 2000. Best years felt like I concur the world and live forever. Had a lot of good friends my adventure buddy’s and discovering the world and women. Bonus was no social media and smart phones. The world was a much better place in the 90’s then today.
We lost MJ. We lost Whitney. Mariah's one of the last legends we have left. (Yes, I know we still have many living legends still with us, but Mariah deals with the same malicious and vicious taunting from the press and public that Michael and Whitney did in their final years. When they both died, the world realised just how fortunate we all are to have lived while they did.) We have to protect Mariah and look after her, not kick her when she's down. Which, by the way, SHE MOST CERTAINLY ISN'T HERE! You killed it, girl!
At 11 years old, I learned what the words "euphoric" and "incessantly" meant when I discovered this song. I learnt a lot of big words back then from MC's songs lol
Galena haha I can immediately recall where she says that word in "Breakdown." another deeply profound song off the Butterfly album is "Close My Eyes." Its depressing but in an oddly comforting way.
She invented low rise jeans in this video. She’s a trendsetter. Everyone started copying her after this. She did an interview with MTV and literally she was the first one to do this. She cut off the top of her jeans and it started a phenomenon.
I love Mariah even more after reading her memoir & knowing how hard she fought to change the meaning of remixes and starting the era of rap artists on pop/R&B tracks.
Music videos aren’t like this anymore!!! Music videos used to have storylines, cut aways, tons of laughs and just felt natural! Now videos are all shaking a**, touching all over and meaningless.

This was the video and song that first introduced me to Mariah. I couldn't believe how she could sing and she looks absolutely gorgeous here as well :) That outfit is just so iconic and the clip is so fun :)
Yeah i was a teenager back then and for me she was the "most beautiful woman" with Jennifer, Beyonce, Britney and Christina A. 😅 how stupid i was with 12 xD
🎵 It's a shame to be so euphoric and weak When you smile at me And you tell me the things that you know Persuade me to relinquish my love to you But I can not resist at all🎵
I was a freshman in high school when this song and album came out. My boyfriend at the time broke up with me for a junior, he to was a freshman. I remember cutting school on November 2, 1999 to catch the bus to Sam Goody at the time they opened to buy this album before it sold out. Yesterday this album turned 21 years old. Happy Anniversary Rainbow! 🌈 ❤
Girl I was a senior when this came out and I went through something similar! Got the album for Christmas that year. This brings back good and bad memories. 🙌🏻🌈💖
I remember riding a bus at 19 with my best friend to Walmart to buy this CD!!! I loved MC so much and she was my idol. My beautiful best friend passed away many years ago sadly, but I have this memory and many others I cherish.
People can look at this song at face value and think it is a silly meaningless superficial song , but theyll completely miss at how incredibly difficult it is to sing from a vocal standpoint - the fluidity, the clarity of the belts, and runs . Her persona sometimes takes over her sheer talent that to non-fans, they miss the thing that makes her so incredible.
Like it's like the complete meaning of vocal gymnastics....and can we talk about how ahead of time she was, and the fact how hot she literally was in this one particular video, and the fact that singing...WAS my thing I did I couldn't even imagine hitting every note perfectly...I don't understand how some could go to a whisper to a belt 😳 forever shook
Rayon I was born in 2006 but ur remember m dad only had like 3 channels on this old ass block tv and one was a music channel or something cause it played music videos and songs and I loved hearing the music
Yeeees at that time Britney and Christina ruled the charts and Mariah was the seasoned veteran … she managed to pull it off amazingly competing with teens
her vocabulary on this part "it's a shame to be so euphoric and weak when you smile at me and you tell me the things that you know persuade me to relinquish my love to you but i cant resist at all" ughh!!
Amazing, she is telling a story and you might forget she is still rhyming flawlessly using all kinda words. Her lyrics skill is as dope as Tupac and Nas.
OgGarcioVega piss off fucktard why in the fuck would you even insinuate that I must have heard one to say that something is angelic???? Its a figure of speech broski let me show you... "like or befitting an angel, especially in virtue, beauty, etc." The important part here is "like or befitting an angel" particularly beauty, befitting an angel... the voice is nice so um yea nothing wrong with my statement, only yours.
she's the queen, the diva, the "what you want" but she's Mariah..... contributor of many big hits in the 90s & begin 2000s.... perfect here from 1999 best place at top 50 = 4
I was a kid when this came out, and honestly this song/video made me a fan, I videotaped this video several times and watched it endlessly. When I collected enough money, I bought the Rainbow album, and I loved every song, it had fun songs, moving ballads, it helped me escape to another beautiful dimension... where Mariah would protect me from bullies and other hardships. I always think of that time when I come across a Mariah song or anything related in the media. I'll forever love Mariah 💗
When I was 15/16 I would never stop listening to fantasy and my sisters both of them petitioned for me to stop playing that song because I would play it endlessly that and other Mariah Carey songs--
I'm actually a devoted metalhead, but goddammit, I really love this song, and I'm not ashamed to admit it :) Sometimes a girl needs some pink in her life.
Joanna Alhazred I hear ya girl, I have recently discovered her again. Used to listen to her 20 years ago. This song make we want to dance around like a fricken girly girl but loving it....
I love when Mariah dances. She doesn't need to have her energy on 100 like Beyoncè and she doesn't need to be skilled like Ciara and Janet, she just needs to do a little two step and she slays. Effortless talented queen.
I remember when MTV had a show called “Making the Video” to show the behind the scenes of filming of music video. This one was especially funny to watch. Oh the good old days.
I remember this one as well. I was just telling my husband the other night that shows like "making the video" or "FANatic" etc were pretty awesome back then.
They're trying too hard to make her newer stuff relevant, even though her vocal range is gone and her new music has shitty production value. Almost all of Mariah's best work was before the 2000s.
The cool thing about Mariah Carey is that she is already beautiful, and she’s got this incredible voice. They didn’t have to sacrifice much to market her because she already fit the mold before she hit the stage.
Its 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song💖

You have to listen to this with headphones to hear how intricate her layered background vocals are. Her harmonies are heavenly.
Turn the balance down slightly also on the right ear and do the same with the left and listen to the different tones also.

She is a genius singer and genius songwriter I love her Adlibs and I love her background vocals her background harmonies this woman is a freaking legend she needs to get more credit than she gets PeriodT.
eminem destroyed her and her career completely :-(
I legit don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Mariah Carey
@@freeman1985ify eminem's career found nowhere and there's mariah collecting her bag every year. while eminem has no season. even mariah is nowhere to be found in this world. She's still rise her fame anually.
@@nynameisme4543 true, i haven't heard of Em in like 6 years while Mariah stays relevant like pretty much every year during the holidays
And the songs she finds to remix the songs with go perfectly. Like "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" remixed with this song is perfectly awesome!
My all time favorite singer...Im still listening...I listen to Mariah everyday...I love when she fights with Bianca..her evil English rival!
One of Mariah Carey's best videos of the ending of the 90's decade
J Destination R she ended the 90's with a bang
Agreed. Probably THE best
The things this woman can do with her voice! Nothing today comes close. WOW!
υndeny yoυr ѕo rιgнт
Nothing ever will come close to this goddess in mortal form.
+Autumn Manuel hey Autumn on the last day of school I was dancing to this in front of the class
+Anthony Kaleta even the booty slaps?
Mariah Carey's Unicorn Yes
Can we talk about how rich the vocabulary of these lyrics is!? ❤️🔥
@Si9al especially in my all
man, her vocab was on point, i thought I was the only one that noticed.
Check out her lyrics for Breakdown featuring Bone, Thugs. I listened to it out of the blue, after my wife left me, and it hit me hard.
@TheXIIth Mariah webster lmfao
Yesss,Subtly,euphoric,relinquish Inevitably irreversibly
queen!
Apart from the insane whistles, is seriously nobody gonna talk about those CRAZY vocals at 1:58?!😱😍😍😍
this song needs to go viral like Obsessed and Touch My bosy .. a true Mariah classic
yeees
It's body but omg fr
Let's make it happen
Mariah is a true legend
2000s videos just hit different
they’re so much better than the ones we have now
Aaaaaah the late 90s/early 00s.....no twerking just pure pop i miss this time
Mariah Carey Is so beautiful
Prince Slice, yes she is gorgeous!
She hella Foine!
This was the video and song that first introduced me to Mariah. I couldn't believe how she could sing and she looks absolutely gorgeous here as well :) That outfit is just so iconic and the clip is so fun :)
I never really appreciated it when i was younger but watching her videos in my 30s, it's all so iconic. I love it so much!
We’re just gonna ignore how stunning Mariah was in the 90s?
She was so fine back then & still is today
Still is
And still is dahling
She still is
Yeah i was a teenager back then and for me she was the "most beautiful woman" with Jennifer, Beyonce, Britney and Christina A. 😅 how stupid i was with 12 xD
I just love Mariah Carey's music, her voice is just amazing
*#1 for 2 weeks on Billboard Hot 100, in 1999*
Classic rap/r&b
Keep in mind that this was also Jay-Z’s first ever number 1 song
I was in Navy boot camp when I heard this song.
I'm a 86 baby always love her lol
🎵 It's a shame to be so euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me the things that you know
Persuade me to relinquish my love to you
But I can not resist at all🎵
mskernow I just scrolled and read this as the song got to this part !! 😨😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@angel7976 I like it when it happens 💕
@@angel7976 me too just now
. Weird lol
718Trace me too lmaoooo
Mariah has very poetic vocabulary in her lyrics.
I was a freshman in high school when this song and album came out. My boyfriend at the time broke up with me for a junior, he to was a freshman. I remember cutting school on November 2, 1999 to catch the bus to Sam Goody at the time they opened to buy this album before it sold out. Yesterday this album turned 21 years old. Happy Anniversary Rainbow! 🌈 ❤
Girl I was a senior when this came out and I went through something similar! Got the album for Christmas that year. This brings back good and bad memories. 🙌🏻🌈💖
Awwww Sam Goody!!! US 80's babies know!!! Goody got it!
The good days!!!
I remember riding a bus at 19 with my best friend to Walmart to buy this CD!!! I loved MC so much and she was my idol. My beautiful best friend passed away many years ago sadly, but I have this memory and many others I cherish.
@@melonies.7641 ❤
Today's young people will not know how iconic ... and how successful this video and Mariah was at that time !!!♡♡♡🦋
We need 4K treatment to this masterpiece
Up
Agreed! 1080p resolution is a crime.
@@orangebutblue ,,,
This generation will never get to level up with this era
Au niveau de la vulgarité je pense que cest réussi 😅
This video SCREAMS 90s! 😍
i am that bitch no it screams early 2000s
Late... more Rappers :)
And do we love the 90s!
More like early 2000s
no, it screams "aaaaaaaaa" (high pitch mariah)
Mariah is perfect here my goodness.
She is probably the most beautiful human being on the planet when this is filmed. For real so amazing.
People can look at this song at face value and think it is a silly meaningless superficial song , but theyll completely miss at how incredibly difficult it is to sing from a vocal standpoint - the fluidity, the clarity of the belts, and runs . Her persona sometimes takes over her sheer talent that to non-fans, they miss the thing that makes her so incredible.
Deserved a pinned comment. The Tea
I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME.
The second verse starts from a belt then to falsetto to in and out of chest voice then ends with a belt 😂 Amazing
Especially considering she also writes and produces...
Mariah makes songs a concerto for her voice.
Like it's like the complete meaning of vocal gymnastics....and can we talk about how ahead of time she was, and the fact how hot she literally was in this one particular video, and the fact that singing...WAS my thing I did I couldn't even imagine hitting every note perfectly...I don't understand how some could go to a whisper to a belt 😳 forever shook
The layering of her wonderful vocal tones in her songs are truly amazing...only a true legend can do that...
This was on MTV so much back in the day. You kids probably wont understand MTV but once upon a time music videos like this played in rotation
Rayon Lol who doesn’t know mtv??
Back when we had to wait for our favorite music video to play.
Rayon I was born in 2006 but ur remember m dad only had like 3 channels on this old ass block tv and one was a music channel or something cause it played music videos and songs and I loved hearing the music
Hell, back in '99 we were complaining about reality shows overrunning MTV, that "there was hardly any music on MTV anymore." Thank god for youtube.
probably early 00s kids but now it's 📉
I advise you to invest in quality headsets and listen how crisp her harmonies are throughout the song
Her little dance moves were adorable 😊❤
i just like that she added this whole humour to the song with the video...it was really well done. Of course her singing is incredible, legendary.
This song was so important for her career to keep with new bubble gum pop artist during that time like Britney and xtina
agreed. what i admire most she still stick to her essence not following trends. amazing artist
Yeeees at that time Britney and Christina ruled the charts and Mariah was the seasoned veteran … she managed to pull it off amazingly competing with teens
Dont forget Destiny's Child also
Do you mean Xena ?
Dont care current gossip this still my jam 🧡🧡🧡
Her harmonies are just so magical she is just a musical genius
mariah fighting mariah for stealing mariah's boyfriend... iconic!
Cause Ain't no body stealing Mariah boyfriend but Mariah...
Her only competition is herself 💖
Boom correct
Hov's wife?
@@stephenheath8465 who?
If this dropped today it would be a hit! All her music was so timeless
her vocabulary on this part "it's a shame to be so euphoric and weak when you smile at me and you tell me the things that you know persuade me to relinquish my love to you but i cant resist at all" ughh!!
You only get verses like that from a singer songwriter. She's been hitting us with the vocab from the very start.
Agreed
Amazing, she is telling a story and you might forget she is still rhyming flawlessly using all kinda words. Her lyrics skill is as dope as Tupac and Nas.
Was just thinking the same. She is unmatched but people really sleep on her
AND SHE WRITES THOSE BARSSSSS. No shade to the other great black vocalists, but she always shone above them because of this fact.
Mariah truly has the voice of an angel... captivates the shit out of me.
+codemiesterbeats its not her voice you're captivated with
nah it is her voice... shes good looking though
the shit? ewww
+OgGarcioVega wow you're ignorant af and epically skilled at taking things literally.
OgGarcioVega
piss off fucktard why in the fuck would you even insinuate that I must have heard one to say that something is angelic???? Its a figure of speech broski let me show you... "like or befitting an angel, especially in virtue, beauty, etc." The important part here is "like or befitting an angel" particularly beauty, befitting an angel... the voice is nice so um yea nothing wrong with my statement, only yours.
she's the queen, the diva, the "what you want" but she's Mariah..... contributor of many big hits in the 90s & begin 2000s.... perfect here from 1999
best place at top 50 = 4
HIT TOP FRANCE Nikko
*QUEEN* ♕
Amo essa musica
Her voice is gorgeous.
I miss music videos that had a back story...
Those were the days!!
You you need better music videos to watch
There are seriously SO many made like this all the time still
Mee too.Its been great back then.
Mariah is a national treasure
planetary t.
Infinity❤
Nobody can sing this song BUT Mariah. 🥰😍
Man this is GOLD love this music so much, 25 years of Heartbreaker!!! 2025 and still sounds so good, forever a hit! Mariah is an icon!
Mariah and withney are the best 😍 my mom loved them, I think she is still listen them from heaven
Natalia Cancino awww
I miss this Mariah. So beautiful and talented.
Jay's Life exactly thank you
She used to be funny to miss that more
I was a kid when this came out, and honestly this song/video made me a fan, I videotaped this video several times and watched it endlessly. When I collected enough money, I bought the Rainbow album, and I loved every song, it had fun songs, moving ballads, it helped me escape to another beautiful dimension... where Mariah would protect me from bullies and other hardships. I always think of that time when I come across a Mariah song or anything related in the media. I'll forever love Mariah 💗
I got it for my 16th birthday I was so happy
AHHH IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! 💖
Awww nice to read
When I was 15/16 I would never stop listening to fantasy and my sisters both of them petitioned for me to stop playing that song because I would play it endlessly that and other Mariah Carey songs--
She’s a gift for sure
her body is GOALS
I'm actually a devoted metalhead, but goddammit, I really love this song, and I'm not ashamed to admit it :)
Sometimes a girl needs some pink in her life.
Same here!
Joanna Alhazred Same here!!!!! lol Love me sum M.C. tho. :)
Joanna Alhazred \m/
Lmao same here, I'm a slipknot, see the kinda chick but sometimes I wanna here some Mariah lol
Joanna Alhazred I hear ya girl, I have recently discovered her again. Used to listen to her 20 years ago. This song make we want to dance around like a fricken girly girl but loving it....
I love when Mariah dances. She doesn't need to have her energy on 100 like Beyoncè and she doesn't need to be skilled like Ciara and Janet, she just needs to do a little two step and she slays. Effortless talented queen.
She was only bopping , no dancing there lol
Ikr she was so confident dancing back then xx
I thought she originally was a dancer first before singing.
Gurl... she just flapped her boobs at the camera... I guess effortless is true though.
🔥🔥
This Video is ICONIC! Slay Bianca!
vc tambem!
I still remember when this music video was on MTV nonstop. Such a great memory!
1999!! Yasss! Love music videos that tell a story like this. One of her best videos along with Honey & WBT.
Her vocal range is honestly so 🔥
I'm being cheated on, let me dance around in the lobby before I spy & confront. Iconic
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦
BYE 😭😭😭
Right?! Lol
Lmao
Hollering 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1 of the best female singers ever, and still listening in 2025
Almost 24 years later....and I STILL "love everything Jay say, Jay does..."
Replaying as a adult and thinking "Shit Jay killed this verse, way ahead of his time"
JAY Z VERSE🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
@@LilHaze117hell yeah dude jay z kill it and Mariah Carey kill it too singing it high vocals
Robin fulghum 😂u must be big jay z and crush on jay z not being rude or disrespect
Yeah, until Beyoncé is the one who confronts her in the bathroom
I remember when MTV had a show called “Making the Video” to show the behind the scenes of filming of music video. This one was especially funny to watch. Oh the good old days.
I remember this one as well. I was just telling my husband the other night that shows like "making the video" or "FANatic" etc were pretty awesome back then.
The series started as an ABC TGIF show when it first premiered around this same year.
Was that the MTV show where they would say “it’s a wrap”?
I need to watch that episode of the making of this music video! Did Mariah mention anything about pouring the soda on his lap? Lol
WHY DOESNT THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS?! THIS SONG WAS A 1# HIT!
cuz it was uploaded in 2014 and not 2009/10 like most of her music vids for some reason
Ben Toghill hm thats weird, idk why they did that
They're trying too hard to make her newer stuff relevant, even though her vocal range is gone and her new music has shitty production value. Almost all of Mariah's best work was before the 2000s.
thaloh totally agree! although her emancipation cd was awesome
+thaloh emancipation of Mimi was amazing
The cool thing about Mariah Carey is that she is already beautiful, and she’s got this incredible voice. They didn’t have to sacrifice much to market her because she already fit the mold before she hit the stage.
