It sounds like another rehash of We Belong Together (till when!!) the production is cute, though, so at least in that sense is better than ISIL or DFAU or BB. However, it is repetitive and can have high burnout for that. Besides, Mariah only sounds acceptable in the first verse, from then on is almost painful to hear her trying hard to hit the high notes with a hoarse unpleasant voice

Funny, The Dream would have had a hard time scrapping up 4 pages with one of his past single but with a certain body on this track, this got 4 pages in a few days, how sweet
But anyway, I don't hear "We Belong Together" in this. The song does grow on me, the more and more I listen to it

I think anytime mariah sings balladish.. or street balladish.. people are going to say it sounds like WBT.

Nice little start!
I finally realized what this reminds me of! The background vocals and even her vocal style reminds me of the ISB Remix. It's like a TMB/ISB Remix/WBT/I Luv Your Girl combo. I'm really liking it.

Listened to this for the first time since the leak today and the chord progression is exactly like the chord progression of We Belong Together. I'm not crazy, I can hear it, too. It sounds like WBT-meets-Wayne/Pain/Brown/Ne-Yo.

Yup, you're right. I love how Mariah OWNS the 90s with ONE SWEET DAY and the 2000s with WE BELONG TOGETHER. Here's to her having the biggest song of the 20-Teens as well!!!

Yup... but that's only in USA Yeah "only" in the biggest music country ever, where every artist wants to breakout in and become big. What a lame accomplishment. As for the song, I didn't think WBT, and while I like it, It doesn't hit me like TMB and I don't like it as much of Bye Bye(which I loved).

Is this ever getting an urban/rhythmic add? Would make so much more sense to start it there first.

LOL I dont get how this song sounds like We Belong Together. Besides, it is not like Mariah coproduced this or something. WBT was produced by Jermaine Dupri.
Everyone just have this thought that Mariah will come out something sounding similar to WBT just because it is the biggest hit of the decade (and yes in the US and I dont care about other parts of the world). So even if it really doesnt sound like it, it sounds like it to their ears because they expect it to be LOL.
I am not feeling this one yet, I thought this is average but this might grow on me more after couple more listens.

I don't hear any WBT. But in typical Pulse fashion, thoughts & opinions are coincidentally consistent. Recalling the nearly agonizing wait for TMB a year back, I assumed it would've been equipped with more synth. If it shares any similarities with a past Mariah Carey single, it's "Touch My Body."

I don't see how anyone can't hear the WBT. Like listen to the instrumental of both and it's pretty much sealed. Same chords.
Though I'm also hearing the "Short Is The Sh**" likenesses in the intro, and Mariah's vocal delivery is SO TMB. The line about being in her business adds to that.
This is mashup of a lot of recent hits on both Mariah and the Dream's parts, but it still works.

The structure of the song, I would say that even the change of notes are very similar to WBT. Example: the change of pace in the 2nd pre-chours with a semi-running singing.

I usually don't hear most of the comparisons made here, especially when someone calls something similar to "We Belong Together" or "Since U Been Gone" or whatever the other few songs that apparently changed the world are, because they get thrown about constantly...
... but when I listened to this, before reading the comments, I thought it sounded like "We Belong Together" in parts too, haha.
Either way, it's kind of more of the same from The-Dream. Don't dislike it, but wouldn't go out of my way to hear it again.
