“#Beautiful” is the lead single of Mariah Carey’s 14th studio album Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse.

The song was written and produced by Carey, Miguel, Nathan Perez, Mac Robinson, Brooke Davis and Brian Keith Warfield.

Mariah told Ryan Seacrest about wanting to work with Miguel on the song – “I’m a huge fan of his music and as I think everybody’s so blown away by him right now.” Alternatively, Miguel has stated that he has loved Mariah ever since she “walked out of the pool in that ‘Honey’ video”.

#Beautiful received positive critical reactions, many of whom praised the idea of a duet between Carey and Miguel. Some even referred to the song as 2013’s ‘song of the summer’.

The song has 5 remix editions, featuring verses from A$AP Rocky to Young Jeezy. Many of these mixes are dance/club remixes. A sixth remix is known to exist, though it was never released by Carey. It is also known to be another dance mix, however.
