In an interview with Apple Music to commemorate the platform’s tenth anniversary, Mariah Carey said that she is finished with her sixteenth studio album.
Eleven to twelve tracks, including “several Mariah ballads,” are anticipated on the album. This album, which is her first full studio LP in seven years, is a sequel to her 2018 album Caution.
On June 6, 2025, the first single “Type Dangerous” was released, featuring a sample of “Eric B. & Rakim…” It combines new jack swing, R&B, and hip-hop soul.
Carey hinted about a second, “very summery” tune that will be released shortly and has a lively, beachy atmosphere.
Carey claims that the album is intimate and captures her life during the last ten years, including her experiences as a mother to twins Monroe and Moroccan, who are 14 years old.
In the upcoming weeks—probably through the summer of 2025—the second single is anticipated.
