Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse Lyrics

On the back cover of this album is a personal treasure
This is my first and only self-portrait
I drew it when I was three and a half and entitled it
"Me. I Am Mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
Come on, I was only three and a half

It was a creative visualisation of how I saw myself
With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
I've kept this drawing private for so long
But because this album is a reflection
of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today
I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
And have been here for me through it all
I've been through a lot, but I've always known me
I am Mariah

Along the way there have been a couple of nicknames
And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
Lately, they've been calling me
"The Elusive Chanteuse"
I like it

Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse

This is the title track of Carey's fourteenth studio album. The singer explained in a YouTube clip that the first half of its name is based on her "first and only self-portrait," which she drew when she was a child. "Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title. Come on, I was only three and a half," she chuckles in the clip. Her drawing is featured on the album's back cover.

Carey added that the second half of the album's title, "The Elusive Chanteuse," is a nickname she's adopted recently, following other personas like "Mimi" and "MC."

Summarizing the record's concept, Carey said: "This album is a reflection of some of the peaks and valleys that made me who I am today. I've always known me. I am Mariah."
