Mariah Carey — Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse

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 3 /12 and entitled it "Me. I Am Mariah." Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title... C'mon!! I was only 3 1/2 haha 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 Been through a lot, but I've always known Me... I am Mariah Along the way, there have been a couple of nicknames (Mimi) And I've inadvertently embodied many personas (Butterfly) Lately, they've been calling me The Elusive Chanteuse (I like it)
