I'll wait for the Wale-less version - no doubt far superior. Talk about a pointless rap.

LOL, I can't @ all the Wale hate. Let's be honest... this song would be much less interesting without him (and I love the song and I love Mariah). Stop being such feminists!!

The only Wale-less part that needs to be implemented in this is for the first minute. I wasn't feeling those mumbles or whatever the hell he was doing. Lol

I think Wale's rap complemented the song nicely. Yeah, the volume of his talking over Mariah's intro could be lowered a bit, but when his part came in at 0:57, that's when the real fun begins! Kudos to JD for a fresh yet classic production.

I've come to the conclusion that this could potentially become my favorite Mariah single since the Butterfly era. 4 Real, 4 Real...

Yeah, I have come to terms with Wale's rap but those odd voodoo spells he is trying to cast are downright scary. But hey, if they work to get people to buy this masterpiece of an album, awesome!

I love the studio version; I think this may be her best shot at a top 10 this era.

ADORE this. Definitely in my top 5 tracks on the album. Reminds me of something Diana Ross or Stephanie Mills would've released in the late 70's. I remember saying I would love if she made a retro, groovy upbeat number for this album and she heard my wish!

HOT DAMN this is good! Has a nice uptempo groove that I've been waiting to hear from Mariah since the Emancipation era.

This along with Fadded and Thirsty need to be singles... And perhaps Money and Dedicated...

Hi, I'm brand new to this website, and I'm 110% Mariah's biggest fan. I can't wait to have a physical copy of MIAMTEC in my hands in about 32 hours. Just wanted to say hi! :)

also, maybe a silly question, but.. I live on the west coast, and once MIAMTEC drops on iTunes, it'll only be 9 p.m. my time on Monday, while it's 12 am on east coast. will my purchases count for the sales week ending on monday? or does it still count towards the week starting on Tuesday (even though it's 9pm my time)? thanks.

The sales week for SoundScan goes Monday-Sunday, so technically any purchase that happens today counts.

I wonder when the remixes are coming. Next week perhaps? I hope so!

This is the one and only single being released now according to Gold Soundz. Radio mixes on the way, and yes, one of the mixes has no Wale.

A Radio Edit feat. Wale (4:05) and a No Rap Version (3:45) have been serviced to Pop and Rhythmic stations this morning.
Apparently this is the new official single from Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse. Impact date is early June.

Yes it will be the single and im very happy with that, while I don't see a hit that has very little to do with the song itself because its one of the better songs on the album and just evokes pure happy thoughts and good feels.
I'm always excited to hear good music be serviced to radio!

About freakin time, should have been released 4 weeks ago but better than never. This, along with Thirsty and #Beautiful are my favorite tracks off this album. Despite all the drama and delays, I hope radios will realize how great this track is and deserves to be played a lot.

Wow, they decided on the single last night and serviced it to radio today? Hopefully they're all realizing the mistake of "letting the album be heard as a whole". She might as well send this to HAC, too.
If someone gets ahold of the no rap version on a stream, I'd appreciate hearing it.
