Betcha Gon' Know (The Prologue)
"Betcha Gon' Know (The Prologue)" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, from her twelfth studio album ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' (2009). It was co-written and co-produced by Carey, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, James "Big Jim" Wright and The-Dream. Due to the success of her eleventh studio album, ''E=MC²'' (2008), and its lead single "Touch My Body", Carey had planned to embark on an extensive tour in support of the effort, but poor charting subsequent singles from the album prompted a halt on promotion by her label, Island Records. It was also rumored that Carey had become pregnant and miscarried, though she never addressed it until late 2010. She began to work on her twelfth studio effort, ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' throughout 2009, and it was released later on in the year. In October 2010, Carey revealed that she had in fact been pregnant in late 2008, and that was the reason why tour plans were cancelled.
The song was recorded at several recording locations, including The Boom Boom Room in Burbank, California, the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada and at Honeywest Studios in New York City. The lyrics revolve around the idea of outing a cheating boyfriend publicly on television, and Carey makes a reference to Oprah Winfrey and her chat show. "Betcha Gon' Know (The Prologue)" garnered mixed responses from music critics. Sal Cinqeumani for Slant Magazine wrote that the song was "promising,"〔 however, Jon Caramanica for ''The New York Times'' criticized the song's lackluster arrangement and Carey's vocal execution.〔 Upon the release of ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'', the song peaked at number 66 on the US Hot Digital Songs chart in October 2009, and remained on the chart for a total of two weeks.
==Background==
After Carey finished her The Adventures of Mimi Tour (2006) in support of her tenth studio album ''The Emancipation of Mimi'' (2005), she began to work on material for her eleventh studio effort, the yet untitled ''E=MC²'' (2008). ''E=MC²'' was hailed as one of the most anticipated albums to be released in 2008, with many critics weighing their opinions on whether Carey would be able to deliver significant success, following her achievements with ''The Emancipation of Mimi''. After the release and success of "Touch My Body", the project's lead single, subsequent singles of the album failed to garner airplay or significant charting, Island Records halted promotion of the album. Since the album's release, Carey had planned to embark on an extensive tour in support of ''E=MC²'', describing its production and direction in several interviews. When asked to describe the tour's theme, Carey explained "I'm thinking elaborate. I like elaborate. We only do substantial. That's what my jeweler says. I haven't gotten the looks in mind just yet, but we're going to figure it out soon enough." Althoguh plans for a tour were underway, and Carey's announcement for a tour during her promotional appearance on ''The X Factor'' in the United Kingdom in November 2008, the tour was suddenly cancelled in the following month.
Because of the tour's cancellation, various media outlets circulated speculation that Carey had become pregnant, and had abandoned her plans for a tour as a result. Many reports were made claiming that Carey had been visiting a famed gynecologist's office in Los Angeles.〔 Carey did not address those rumours until two years later on October 28, 2010, which was the same day she announced her new pregnancy; she admitted that she had indeed been pregnant during that time period in late 2008, and suffered a miscarriage. For that reason, she cancelled the tour, and lost the child only two months later. Carey later opted to record a new album, that would be released during the summer of 2009. During the later stages of the project, Carey released the title, ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'', that would serve as the singer's twelfth studio album.〔
