aww,, the lyrics if you wanna make a card or a lil sommin' sommin'

I know that you been waiting for it, I'm waiting too
In my imagination I be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me, 102
And boy I know I feel the same my temperature's through the roof

If there's a camera up in here, then it's gon' leave with me when I do
If there's a camera up in here, then I best not catch this flick on Youtube.
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
Cause baby I'm up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, 'tween you and I

Touch my body, put me on the floor, hustle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed, I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me rub your thighs, all around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you love my curves, come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

Boy you can book me on you like a brand new ID
I'll hug your body tighter than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze
And float away with you in my Caribbean Scene

If there's a camera up in here, then it's gon' leave with me when I do
If there's a camera up in here, then I best not catch this flick on Youtube.
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
Cause baby I'm up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, 'tween you and I

Touch my body, put me on the floor, hustle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed, I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me rub your thighs, all around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you love my curves, come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

I'mma treat you like a teddy bear
You won't wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Baby just turn to me (??)
You won't want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty
Touch my body

I think she says:

Touch my body, let me wrap my thighs all around your waist...

Bummer.

I really hoped she wanted to rub her boo's tights

Touch my body, let me rub your thighs, all around your waist, just a little taste

dude i just noticed,, talk about wrong idea of S&M

nevertheless, you can still rub yer boo's thights though so that's an upside

Well, I've tried listening to the HQ multiple times and this is not growing on me. The only lyric I can remember is the title. Some of the lines are so bad they make me laugh when she sings them ("youtube") and others I can barely hear.

oh shit Ali's blog got deleted because of Mariah's song link

Blender Review:

WHO: Mariah Carey
WHAT: "Touch My Body"
WHY: While Mariah's new album, E=MC2, is set to be one of the year's biggest, this introductory single is downright subtle - yet effective. Co-written by The-Dream and produced by Tricky (a.k.a. the dudes behind "Umbrella"), "Touch My Body" rides the same never ending snap blueprint T-Pain used to brilliant effect on last year's feather-light super hit "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')." You won't mind hearing it on the radio and TV every 10 minutes for the next few months - this thing sooths as it repeats. Here, Mariah is focused on one thing: "Come on and give me what I deserve and touch my body," she coos. And make no mistake, she wants to be touched on her terms only: "Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down." She even thinks about the possible ramifications of her touchy tryst when she sings, "If there's a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on YouTube" (nevermind the fact that the video in question would never get past YouTube censors). A pop genius making genius pop.
WHERE: Listen to the track here.

LA Times Review:

Pop star Mariah Carey unveiled today her new single and the science-friendly title of her new album, "E=MC2," due April 15. The title alone already does Janet Jackson one better. The latter went all sci-fi with her latest video, "Feedback," but Mariah is cutting out the B-movie trappings and going straight to the equation.

So is Mariah unveiling her inner Albert Einstein with the title? Or is she leaking the formula that goes into crafting a mega-hit?

E = extreme, acrobatic-like wailing.

M = multimillion-dollar production team. (Billboard.com writes that the A-list lineup cooking with Mariah in the M lab includes Jermaine Dupri, will.i.am, Stargate and Bryan Michael Cox, among others.)

C2 = Club songs multiplied by colossal ballads.

All right, so the title is certainly a not-so-subtle nod to her top-selling 2005 album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." The first single, "Touch My Body," hit radio today. It was produced by C "Tricky" Stewart and The Dream, the pair who worked on Rihanna's Grammy-winning "Umbrella."

So how is it? "Touch My Body" rides a relatively restrained slow-dance groove, with some light, orchestral-synth flourishes thrown in. The rhythm is almost completely carried by an effortless keyboard bump, the easygoing repetitiveness of which eventually wears the listener down, and sets up a delicate frame for Carey to sing around.

She pulls back when the song picks up the pace, and Carey keeps it simple here, playing with tempos rather than range. Indeed, she almost quietly slides into the chorus. "If you run around and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down," she sings, letting the last line trail off. But you don't necessarily believe her, as the feel is more playful that sinful.

The song will be getting the full blockbuster treatment, as "Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner shot the video for the cut.

The song is catchy but, I just dunno.

Well, overall I'm disappointed but not hating it. I first heard it in the car on Wendy's show and howled with laughter when she heard the reference to her. Very cute. Funny thing is Wendy's station hates Feedback but loves this song.

Other than that, I wouldn't release it as a first single. Maybe the 2nd single will be crazy. The only good so far is (hopefully) changing the title to E=MC2. I do love the line, I will hunt you down. But I really hoped for something a bit stronger. Don't take the lambs for granted, Mimi.

Now I guess all I can do is wait for Erykah to bring it.

the ending through the fade out is seriously gorgeous, 2:52 and on..

What's really bad is that, they were debating over the first single and this is what they decided on. They didn't even leak it so they could get a response from the fans. They put this out as the first single with confidence.

Which makes me *very* frightened for the rest of the album.

JackieBlue said:

we know the lable was pushing for That Chick though so i'd say don't worry

VoicesCarry said:

I know but I have to believe it can only get better from here. ::crossing fingers::

PricelessHo said:

This song won by a vote of label staff, so....I'm worried. It sounds like a Charmbracelet reject.

the melody and harmonies work beautifully together, I love it!

Janet could have also done this, but both have done well with their material so far.

VoicesCarry said:

MariahDailyJournal is able to confirm another new song title from Mariah's upcoming album: I'm That Chick You Like. Reliable sources have revealed to us that the song is said to be L.A. Reid's choice for the first single from the yet untitled album. We are told that Reid had his staff at Island Def Jam vote between two songs and "That Chick" won by 10 or so votes.

"'Touch My Body' picks right up where The Emancipation Of Mimi left off. It's another classic Mariah mid-tempo SMASH with a hook that will stick with you for days. The reaction to it thus far has been incredible...I believe at the end of the day this will be Mariah's 18th #1 single. I've heard many of the songs on E=MC2 and not only is it full of killer songs, I feel it stands just as tall (perhaps taller) than T.E.O.M. Here comes another 10+ million worldwide sales and more time at the top of the charts for MC!"

ETA: because you answered all my questions.

PricelessHo said:

And I heard the opposite reported.

PricelessHo said:

Well B96 has always supported Mariah. But unfortunately the reaction to this has been a hell of a lot less than incredible.

I am predicting a meteoric rise and fast fall at Pop radio. Same for every major hyped song with bad callout.

alphastreet said:

This is what I do like about it. I was hoping for more of a groove to grab people's attention as a first drop.

so far i've played the song 58 times non-stop and it's getting prettier and prettier really.

i'm not sure if a music video has much of an influence but i'm glad it's already shot, unlike It's Like That which came out 2 months after the song's premier.

after all those listens my attention wasn't even with the lyrics anymore,, it's the melody and arrangement that's keeping me peppy.

i just realised the guy at the beginning isn't JD, it's The Dream or what's his face.

You would love her Mike. She's crazy. You can listen to her online at wbls,com. IN NYC, she's on from 2pm to 7pm. Her reaction to the song had me almost choking at work tonight. Too funny!

a fan reported the song is now #9 at the Z100 countdown
