Chosen as the fourth and final single from the Glitter movie soundtrack, “Reflections (Care Enough)” was only commercially released in Japan. “I wrote that in the mindset of Billie, the character, asking her mother the question, did she ever really care about her,” Mariah said about the song. “'Cause she feels abandoned and that's one of her major issues as a person. I thought it was an obscure album cut, I didn't think it was a single. I was just like, ‘This is really just the essence of what Billie's character is saying to her mother’ and it really tells a story.”

Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms
With how we said goodbye
Did you really care
Care for me at all
Did you really care
Did you care for me at all
A displaced little girl
Wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day
To keep on living
And tried to many ways
To keep her soul alive
Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me
If I'm not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of
A mother's love
You could have had the decency
To give me up
Before you gave me life
Don't you even care
Just the slightest bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe, in my heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly
Don't you even care
Care at all for me
Reflections of your love
Have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
