3. Hero
This song was written by Carey and Walter Afanasieff. But, after a few runs in the studio, Mariah Carey didn't feel Hero matched her style, so she forfeited it to Gloria Estefan. After some convincing, lyric changes, and adjustments, Sony Studio got the Ballard to align with Mariah Carey's taste and personality. While the song has received some criticism, it's one of the most profound Mariah Carey songs she's ever sung.
4. Without You
Did you know Without You is actually a cover? The original artist is a British band called Badfinger. The song has been recorded and covered by over 180 famous artists, but Mariah Carey's version reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks.

5. We Belong Together
We Belong Together was released in 2005 on the album The Emancipation of Mimi. This song was considered to be Mariah Carey's "comeback song." During 2001-2004, Mariah Carey seemingly fell off the charts and was starting to lose her popularity until We Belong Together was released in 2005, and she proved she wasn't going anywhere for a while.
