• This appears on Carey's 11th studio album, E=MC2, which was originally going to be titled That Chick after this song. The new title, a playful reference to Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, implies the album is a new-and-improved sequel to its predecessor, The Emancipation Of Mimi, with E=MC2 standing for Emancipation of Mariah Carey to the second power. Both albums debuted at #1 in the US.
