Probably my second favorite post-2000 single by her behind "We Belong Together". Adore it. It's a shame it wasn't much bigger.

I really liked this. I heard it a decent amount during the start of Summer 2013. I wished it'd gone further, but it's not like they did it any favors with the video and terrible "live" performances.

If I recall correctly the song was doing quite well in airplay until the video premiere of Mariah prancing around like a 21 year old sorority girl, lol! Then came the vocal mishap on the Today Show and lipping at the BET awards.
Despite all of that, I love this song! It's my second favorite song she's done in 2000s. WBT is first of course!

This really should have been a game changing song for her. Had she dropped the hashtag, toned down her antics in the video, and delivered a great live performance I think it would've had a better shot at being a smash.

This is a nice song and I still listen to it a lot but I think it's a little overhyped. I love this sound though. If this had been a top 10 hit they definitely would have pushed that album out in July, nerve damage be damned.

This song was huge, I don't get the qualms about the video? She looks fine as hell.

The title really sums up this song. It only gets better with age IMO.  |

Her best single post-2000. I wish she would model some of her future songs off this one because this was everything one could ask for of a Mariah song in 2013, but nothing else she recorded from 2013-now sounds anything like this. Hopefully that will change.

A testament to the artist she is instead of changing she took that Mariah sound and vocal stylings and matched it with something current that she loves instead of something current to score a hit. A gorgeous song and production. Melody is off the chain.

This has got to be her most unanimously praised single since "We Belong Together" or maybe even "Heartbreaker". Everyone loved this song; from critics, to fans, to haters (lol).
I think it's a fantastic song, too. I love how it was a genuine throwback, the melody is off the chain, the lyrics easy to sing along to, the instrumentation was something "new" for Mariah courtesy of Miguel... I think it's just as strong as her 90's singles and that's obvious on the medley she performed on American Idol.
Having said that, there are several singles and songs (from MIAM... TEC especially) post-2000 by her that I - personally - would rank higher than this.

Both this and "You Don't Know What To Do" should've been major hits, but regardless I'm glad that this at least did something. It's one of her strongest in a while and one of my favorites from her in general. They both sound excellent and I really enjoy the throwback vibe. It's such a breezy song and it's perfect for the summer. It keeps growing on me as time progresses and I love it more now than I did then.

She finally seemed to be evolving her sound again with this. Too bad she went with the safe Emacipation recyclables of "You're Mine" and "Infinity" instead of growing her sound in new directions like she used to.

This was great and was so refreshing to hear after those songs that she put out before it.

Perfect laid-back summer song. Their voices complement each other so well. I think it should've been a bigger hit.

This song is PERFECT. So refreshing for her, I love the instrumental, so classic it gives me chills. How this didn't smash I'll never know.

Yup, I love it too. Has all the elements of a classic MC track. The video is ridiculous though.

I was completely lost on this track and to this day still don't quite get the appeal.

I get why people think this is so great but I don't like it as much as others.

I've always liked the smoothness of the track, it makes occasional listens time to time for me

The album delay was announced before her accident even happened, so the delay wasn't about nerve damage. Anyway BTS did a half-cover of this song: |

I don't really play this anymore but I have never understood the disdain for the video; she looks amazing!

It sounds decent, but it's nothing to write home about in comparison to her well-written, amazing past songs.

I just remembered how much of a fucking BOP this is. UGH. So good.
When this dropped, I was in elementary school and barely knew who Mariah was. This song jolted me into checking out her past hits (and then I got hooked on βDonβt Forget About Usβ).
