Meteorite by Mariah Carey Song Info
Mariah returns to the disco era on “Meteorite”. The mid-tempo disco track features Carey with a straight-ahead, non-stratospheric vocal. All the elements are there for the song to achieve maximum lift-off. The track was co-produced by Carey and Q-Tip. The personification here is with a meteorite. When meteorites soar past Earth, they are very bright, and can light up a dark sky at night. When Mariah says this line "Cause you’ve got the night to light up the sky", "the night” could be referring the world in general or maybe a specific audience. “To light up the sky” would mean to prove your worth and to shine like a star. Carey performed the song for the very first time at the World Music Awards on May, 2014.
