Mariah Carey made a highly anticipated return to the spotlight at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where she delivered a career-spanning medley of her biggest hits and was honored with the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.[1] Dressed in a shimmering gold bodysuit, she performed classics such as “Sugar Sweet,” “Fantasy,” “Honey,” “Obsessed,” and “It’s Like That,” marking her first appearance at the VMAs in twenty years.[1] Ariana Grande introduced her set and, in a poignant moment, presented Carey with the award, celebrating her profound impact on pop culture and music videos.[1] The ceremony took place at New York’s UBS Arena and aired live on September 7.[3]

In addition to her show-stopping VMA moment, Carey announced the release of her sixteenth studio album, Here For It All, scheduled for September 26, 2025.[4] The album marks her first new studio release since 2018’s Caution and promises a personal and genre-blending experience inspired by her journey through the last decade and her life as a mother.[4] The tracklist, revealed by Carey in August, features collaborations with Anderson .Paak on “Play This Song,” Shenseea and Kehlani on “Sugar Sweet,” and The Clark Sisters on “Jesus I Do.”[2] The full tracklist includes:

  • Mi
  • Play This Song (feat. Anderson .Paak)
  • Type Dangerous
  • Sugar Sweet (feat. Shenseea & Kehlani)
  • In Your Feelings
  • Nothing Is Impossible
  • Confetti & Champagne
  • I Won’t Allow It
  • My Love
  • Jesus I Do (feat. The Clark Sisters)
  • Here for It All

The album’s lead singles, “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet,” dropped in June and July 2025, respectively, and quickly became fan favorites.[4] “Type Dangerous” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales chart, further cementing Carey’s enduring relevance.[6] Carey performed “Type Dangerous” live for the first time at the 2025 BET Awards, where she was also recognized with the Ultimate Icon Award.[6]

Fans can look forward to a variety of physical formats for Here For It All, including multiple limited edition vinyls, CDs, and cassettes, all aiming to celebrate different eras of Mariah’s legendary career.[6] With new collaborators, signature ballads, and a reflective yet modern sound, Carey’s latest projects affirm her position as one of pop music’s enduring icons.[2]
