  • On the back cover of this album is a personal treasure
    This is my first and only self-portrait
    I drew it when I was three and a half and entitled it
    "Me. I Am Mariah."
    Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
    Come on, I was only three and a half

    It was a creative visualization of how I saw myself
    With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
    I've kept this drawing private for so long
    But because this album is a reflection
    Of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today
    I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
    And have been here for me through it all
    I've been through a lot, but I've always known me
    I am Mariah

    Along the way, there have been a couple of nicknames
    And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
    Lately, they've been calling me
    "The Elusive Chanteuse"
    I like it Writer/s: Mariah Carey
