IT'S LIKE THAT ~ BY MARIAH CAREY

"It's Like That" is a song CO-written by Mariah Carey for her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). The song also shared its name with another Run DMC song. It was the first single to be released from the album, in 2005. It was a top twenty hit in several countries, including the United States, and was nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "It's Like That" and "I Know What You Want" are considered to be Carey's return to prominence after major failures of her previous works. The protagonist of this club-inspired track declares that she "came to have a party" and briefly (jokingly) dabbles in alcohol and marijuana usage. She then notes that "it's her night" and relaxes, before chanting "It's like that, y'all."
