[Go back to Singles] [Single Info] [Lyrics]

Single name: The Roof
Album name: Butterfly
Published: Columbia 1998

Description:
The Roof single was released on March 10 in Europe and some other parts of the world (not in US). This was the third single in Europe from the Butterfly album. The song is in a hip-hop kinda style, showing again Mariah's beautiful voice. It includes some really nice remixes featuring some guest rappers. For some reason it was not very successful on European charts...

Mariah about "The Roof": This is my favourite song af the album. I've recorded it with the Trackmasters, they are so cool. I had an idea to do something with a sample of one of mine favourite songs, so I went to them and together we put everything in place. There's only one version of this song on the album, but we'll definetily make a remix, hopefully with those who did the original song.
