abstract
  • %22It's Like That%22 is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey for her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). Written by Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal, and Johntá Austin, and produced by Carey, Dupri, and Seal, the song borrows the hook %22It's Like That Y'all%22 from the Run–D.M.C. tracks %22Hollis Crew%22 (1984) and %22Here We Go (Live)%22 (1983). %22Stay the Night%22, %22Say Somethin'%22 and %22Shake It Off%22 were all contenders for the lead single. However, plans were changed when Island Def Jam Music head L.A. Reid suggested to Carey she record a few more strong songs to ensure the album's success, therefore %22It's Like That%22 was written and chosen as the album's lead-single, being released on January 7, 2005.%22It's Like That%22 is a hip-hop song featuring ad-libs by the song's producer Jermaine Dupri and Fatman Scoop, while its lyrics discuss about a celebration, free of stress, strife and sadness, where Carey's alter-ego %22Mimi%22 is being emancipated. The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, most of whom noted its catchiness and carefree message. It was also nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Commercially, the song charted well worldwide, becoming a top twenty hit in several countries, including the United States, while peaking inside the top-ten in over five other countries.The song's music video, directed by Brett Ratner, was filmed as a two-part story with %22We Belong Together%22, featuring Carey at her bachelorette party, while getting ready to marry Eric Roberts and falling in love with a party guest and ex-lover, played by Wentworth Miller. The song was heavily promoted by the singer in a number of places, such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, BET, VH1 and more, while being performed on both her The Adventures of Mimi and Angels Advocate Tour.
