Written by Carey, <a href="/wiki/Jermaine_Dupri" title="Jermaine Dupri">Jermaine Dupri</a> and <a href="/wiki/Manuel_Seal" title="Manuel Seal">Manuel Seal</a>, and produced by Carey and Dupri, It was released by <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> on February 20, 1996, as the album's third <a href="/wiki/Single_(music)" title="Single (music)">single</a> in the United States and fourth single internationally.

Described by <a href="/wiki/Music_criticism" title="Music criticism">critics</a> as both a <a href="/wiki/Love_song" title="Love song">love song</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Breakup_song" title="Breakup song">breakup song</a>, its composition is characterized by piano keyboards, drums, acoustic guitars, and layered background vocals. "Always Be My Baby" received critical acclaim upon release, with reviewers praising its production and Carey's vocals. In retrospect, several publications have ranked it one of Carey's best songs. The song was a commercial success, becoming Carey's eleventh chart-topper on the <a href="/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)" title="Billboard (magazine)">Billboard</a> <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Hot 100</a>, tying her with <a href="/wiki/Madonna" title="Madonna">Madonna</a> and <a href="/wiki/Whitney_Houston" title="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a> for most number-one singles by a female artist at the time. It spent two weeks atop the chart and became Carey's eighth chart-topper on the Canadian <a href="/wiki/RPM_(magazine)" title="RPM (magazine)">RPM Top Singles</a> chart. The song is <a href="/wiki/Music_recording_certification" title="Music recording certification">certified</a> five-times platinum in the US with 1,254,000 units coming from physical sales, 890,000 coming from digital sales, and 856,000 coming from streaming equivalent units. It is also certified platinum by RIAA for selling 1 million units as master tone in the US by 2007. In other regions, the single performed well, peaking at number three in the United Kingdom, number five in New Zealand, number 17 in Australia and in the top 20 in most music markets where it charted. The accompanying music video for "Always Be My Baby" features scenes of Carey frolicking by a campsite in upstate New York, as well as swinging on a Cooper Tire over a lake. Additional inter-cuts include scenes of two children, one male and female, sneaking out at night and spending time together by a campfire similar to Carey's location. Most scenes from the video were filmed at <a href="/wiki/The_Fresh_Air_Fund" title="The Fresh Air Fund">The Fresh Air Fund</a>'s Camp Mariah, named after Carey for her generous support and dedication to Fresh Air Fund children. The song was performed live during her <a href="/wiki/Daydream_World_Tour" title="Daydream World Tour">Daydream World Tour</a> (1996) and many of her future tours and concerts. "Always Be My Baby" was also featured in Carey's compilation albums: <a href="/wiki/Number_1%27s_(Mariah_Carey_album)" title="Number 1's (Mariah Carey album)">#1's</a> (1998), <a href="/wiki/Greatest_Hits_(Mariah_Carey_album)" title="Greatest Hits (Mariah Carey album)">Greatest Hits</a> (2001), <a href="/wiki/The_Ballads_(Mariah_Carey_album)" title="The Ballads (Mariah Carey album)">The Ballads</a> (2008) and <a href="/wiki/Number_1_to_Infinity" title="Number 1 to Infinity">#1 to Infinity</a> (2015).

As Seal played different keys on the piano, Carey led him with the melody she was "hearing inside her head" and began humming the phrase "always be my baby".<a href="#cite_note-bronson-1">[1]</a> Carey said she described how she wanted the song to feel to Dupri and Seal, while Dupri programmed the drums and Seal played keyboard.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Carey sang the melody as the collaborators worked on the bridge and B-section for lyrics that Carey had already outlined.<a href="#cite_note-bronson-1">[1]</a> According to Dupri, "the whole song actually came from Mariah", and claims he had little to no involvement writing the song's lyrics.<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> "Always Be My Baby" marked the first of several collaborations between Carey and Dupri. Like producers before him, Dupri commended Carey's vocal abilities, "she can pretty much do anything with her voice. She's really strong vocally."<a href="#cite_note-bronson-1">[1]</a> Another musical craft the song featured was the inclusion of heavy background vocals of her lower registers, with Carey then belting and singing the higher notes over her background vocals and melody, creating a "double voice effect".<a href="#cite_note-bronson-1">[1]</a> When discussing the technique used in the background vocals, Carey said: <blockquote> The background vocals are an important part of the picture for me. That's why I like to do them myself a lot of the time, or initially I'll lay down the tracks. I'll double my voice or do a couple of tracks of my own voice. It's easy for me to match my voice. And then if I'm going to use other background singers, I'll let them go on top of mine.<a href="#cite_note-bronson-1">[1]</a> </blockquote>The producer recalled feeling unaccustomed to the rigid schedule of his <a href="/wiki/Recording_sessions" class="mw-redirect" title="Recording sessions">recording sessions</a> with Carey while they were working on "Always Be My Baby".<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> Instead of remaining in the studio until the song was finished, they worked from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, at which time Mottola would end their session to take Carey to dinner, regardless of the progress they had made.<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> Dupri admitted that he did not quite like "Always Be My Baby" upon completing it, fearing listeners would not care for the song.<a href="#cite_note-:20-9">[9]</a> Carey and Dupri collaborated on at least four songs for Daydream, but "Always Be My Baby" was one of only two that were included on the final album.<a href="#cite_note-:20-9">[9]</a> Dupri has expressed some regret that "Always Be My Baby" wasn't selected as its parent album's first or second single, explaining, "I didn't feel like I had accomplished too much of anything ... the fact that I didn't get the first or second single...even with two songs that I did [on Daydream], I felt like I didn't really do what I was supposed to do".<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> He has described the song as arguably "one of my biggest least-known works", despite its popularity and success.<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> Dupri said the record ultimately made him rich and successful by establishing him as Columbia's number-one producer by producing a hit song for their number-one artist at the time,<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[8]</a> becoming the biggest song of his career at that point.<a href="#cite_note-:6-2">[2]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Music_and_lyrics">Music and lyrics</h2>[<a

href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Chris Gayomali of <a href="/wiki/GQ" title="GQ">GQ</a> said that, musically, the song begins conventionally before surprising listeners by introducing elements such as a
