Lyrical masterpiece. Her vocabulary is unmatched. I wonder how she developed such a command of the english language - reading poetry, novels, or simply studying lyrical masters like Stevie Wonder? Whatever the source, she developed a diction unique in the history of pop/R&B.
This is probably MC’s biggest masterpiece along with The Roof. Fourth of July & Butterfly are also great. Very well-written poetic songs. Butterfly is her Best Album without a doubt. Her Magnum Opus indeed.
Im having a breakdown..my friends aint shit..ddnt show up for my Bday party...my Bday is right after holiday..everybody always have excuses..Im done with it..them..praying to God...that I find good people...one good friend did show up...couple other people.. God will guide me and I believe I will find some fun loyal people..
One of the most underrated songs of all time. How this didn’t even hit the top 20 amazes to this day. It’s had a legacy tho so can’t be mad about that.
Favorite song from Mariah Carey omggggg in love that humming in the beginning was everything and always collaborated with other great artists to because the chemistry is there like magic exist #yass🙌💯👏❤🎶🥇
Break break down Steady breakin' me on down, break break down Steady breakin' me on down Break break down, steady breakin' me on down Break break down, steady breakin' me on down You called yesterday to basically say That you care for me But that you're just not in love Immediately I pretended To be feeling similarly And led you to believe it was okay To just walk away from the one thing That's unyielding and sacred to me Well I guess I'm trying to be Nonchalant about it And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind Underneath a disguise of a smile Gradually I'm dying inside Friends ask me how I feel And I lie convincingly 'Cause I don't want to reveal The fact that I'm suffering So I wear my disguise 'Til I go home at night And turn down all the lights And then I break down and cry So what do you do When somebody you're so devoted to Suddenly just stops loving you And it seems they haven't got a clue Of the pain that rejection is putting you through Do you cling to your pride And sing "I will survive" Do you lash out and say how dare you leave this way? Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away Well I guess I'm trying to be Nonchalant about it And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind Underneath the disguise of a smile Gradually I'm dying inside Friends ask me how I feel And I lie convincingly 'Cause I don't want to reveal The fact that I'm suffering So I wear my disguise 'Til I go home at night And turn down all the lights And then I break down and cry It'll break you down Only if you let it Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind Tryin' to break me down But I won't let it, forget it (Forget it) I be feelin' like you bringing me down Taking me around Stressin' me out I think I better go and get out And let me release some stress (Stress) Don't ever wanna feel no pain (Pain) Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain (Rain, rain, rain) Lord, I just wanna maintain Yeah, I can feel pressures y'all But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall It's over, it's ending here (Here) Well I guess I'm trying to be Nonchalant about it And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind Underneath the guise of a smile Gradually I'm dying inside Friends ask me how I feel And I lie convincingly 'Cause I don't want to reveal The fact that I'm suffering So I wear my disguise 'Til I go home at night And turn down all the lights And then I break down and cry Well I guess I'm trying to be Nonchalant about it And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind Underneath the guise of a smile Gradually I'm dying inside Friends ask me how I feel And I lie convincingly 'Cause I don't want to reveal The fact that I'm suffering So I wear my disguise 'Til I go home at night And turn down all the lights And then I break down and cry Well I guess I'm trying to be Nonchalant about it And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind Underneath the guise of a smile Gradually I'm dying inside Friends ask me how I feel And I lie convincingly 'Cause I don't want to reveal The fact that I'm suffering So I wear my disguise 'Til I go home at night And turn down all the lights And then I break down and cry
i used to go to school with a girl in middle school who was a minitture version of mariah carey looked just like her ..i love mariah as and artist but i feel her career really took off when she incorporated hip hop into her music similar to what janet jackson did
I love Mariah Carey so much. I always loved her voice and found her absolutely beautiful. I wish I got a re-roll on life, to make it successful enough to at least meet her and shoot my shot lol. It is a woman like her that makes you bitter sometimes in this span of life, those opportunities you'll never have.

"Underneath the guise of a smile
gradually I'm dying inside". MC is the queen of songwriting.
I agree!
Yup!! She is! Such a prolific poetess! Painful! Poetical!
They call Brandy the vocal Bible...I say MC the dictionary...she be using tht vocabulary lol
Lyrics are too gold...
She didn't write most of her songs
The cover art is amazing.
Let's speak about the music video too.... It is an artwork
@@edwinadrianta9455 not just some artwork!
The song, mv, and this artwork are masterpieces!!!
Huh???
What about the creepy rappers at background
Looks like 3 guys staring in a window at a woman about to get undressed
She popularized the word "Nonchalant"
Lyrical masterpiece. Her vocabulary is unmatched. I wonder how she developed such a command of the english language - reading poetry, novels, or simply studying lyrical masters like Stevie Wonder? Whatever the source, she developed a diction unique in the history of pop/R&B.
The 90's had so many classics .. including this gem 💎
Perhaps my favorite song of hers...just so well written!
z
A timeless masterpiece!🫶🏾
Facts!
90's was not a decade. It was an emotion.
That and it was the decade designed by Mariah Carey! Straight up the queen of the era. 👑 ✨️

Yes
Goin Into 2024 Still Vibin’ To This Timeless Masterpiece 😊😊😊
Me too ❤
2025 baby! best believe 🤗🎉
This is probably MC’s biggest masterpiece along with The Roof.
Fourth of July & Butterfly are also great.
Very well-written poetic songs.
Butterfly is her Best Album without a doubt. Her Magnum Opus indeed.
Well I guess to be "nonchalant" about it.
Mimi is so ahead of her time. Gen Z popular terms includes "nonchalant" ❤
This track is so slept on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember being 11 listening to this song on repeat like I knew what love was. Hit me like a ton of bricks when it became relatable. Absolute poetry
I still to this day break down and cry to this song every time I get rejected by a guy.
Don’t cry “F” em their lost🥰
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Dang. You either cry a lot, or you haven't learned to deal with rejection yet. 2 years later, I hope things have improved for you.
@@sdb1218 I was being dramatic 🙄
Me too girl nice to cry to the illest song of all time
My shit it’s 2025 Dec 29 ❤
bone x Mariah always heat !!!!
Im having a breakdown..my friends aint shit..ddnt show up for my Bday party...my Bday is right after holiday..everybody always have excuses..Im done with it..them..praying to God...that I find good people...one good friend did show up...couple other people..

My favorite song of all time 🙌🏽🙌🏽♥💯
Yess!! Mines toooo amazing!!!!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Still one of the best songs to ever hit the radio
I agree
One of the most underrated songs of all time. How this didn’t even hit the top 20 amazes to this day. It’s had a legacy tho so can’t be mad about that.
Idk y it is so underated. Yall sleeping on this song.
It was definitely slept on. Even Mariah was upset how this song didn’t get the recognition that it deserved.
I am your biggest fan god bless you darling diva Mariah Carey thanks for your support angel
2024, still hard. 🔥
Will always take me back to being 12 in the spring of '98.
You called yesterday 😮too basically say ,that you care for me but😢 that your just not in love 🫢😂
Y'all haters ain't touching it
So many memories 🙇🐅🦾🙏🏾
One of my favorite songs of Mimi. 💕
Favorite song from Mariah Carey omggggg in love that humming in the beginning was everything and always collaborated with other great artists to because the chemistry is there like magic exist #yass🙌💯👏❤🎶🥇
Songs take you back to an exact place and time.

#JusticeForBreakdown
SLAY QUEEN WE LOVE YOU
Memory lane
aah that soong!!!
my favorite from butterfly
❤❤❤
Queen
Please, perform this song!
Break break down
Steady breakin' me on down, break break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Break break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break break down, steady breakin' me on down
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me
But that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended
To be feeling similarly
And led you to believe it was okay
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath a disguise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
So what do you do
When somebody you're so devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you
And it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride
And sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say how dare you leave this way?
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the disguise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
It'll break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it, forget it (Forget it)
I be feelin' like you bringing me down
Taking me around
Stressin' me out
I think I better go and get out
And let me release some stress (Stress)
Don't ever wanna feel no pain (Pain)
Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain (Rain, rain, rain)
Lord, I just wanna maintain
Yeah, I can feel pressures y'all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's ending here (Here)
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
