Meteorite

Mariah wrote “Meteorite” with Q-Tip for her Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse album, released in 2014. “We have to mix that song, he's angry with me because he thinks that I didn't allow him to do his mix,” Mariah told Radio.com before the album was finished. “But it's okay, he loves me and we're gonna make this work. It's because it's one of my favorite songs, so I'm gonna call him soon.” Q-Tip ended up sharing his mix of the track on Soundcloud once the album dropped.

Lyrics

Meteorite

Andy Warhol said “In the future, everybody will be famous”
No, he said “Everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes”

Gotta get up
Cause you know the world is waiting
Can you keep up
Everyone you see is racing
And you
You know what you are
It's true
You will go far

Cause you got the night
To light up the sky
Meteorite in front of every eye
A shooting star
Your fame is a flame
And they watch you burn up, turn up, turnt up all the way

Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite

So here we go
We're listening, what are you saying
Put on your show
Try to make it entertaining
And you
You know what you are
It's true
You will go far

Cause you got the night
To light up the sky
Meteorite in front of every eye
A shooting star
Your fame is a flame
And they watch you burn up, turn up, turnt up all the way

Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite

Cause you got the night
To light up the sky
A meteorite in front of every eye
A shooting star
Your fame is a flame
As they watch you burn up, turn up, turnt up all the way
Yeah you got to turn up all the way
Yeah you got to turn up all the way
Yeah you got to turn up all the way

Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
Meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite
