}} "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, taken from her eleventh studio album, ''E=MC²'' (2008). It was written by Carey, Aldrin Davis, Crystal Johnson and Clifford Harris, and produced by the former two. As the song's hook and instrumentation is derived from sampling DeBarge's "Stay with Me", Mark DeBarge and Etterlene Jordan also share songwriting credits. "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" was released as the album's third single in the United States, Australasia and select European countries on July 1, 2008. Drawing influence from pop, soul and R&B music genres, and featuring a piano and keyboard-driven melody, the song's lyrics demonstrate the lengths the protagonist will go for her lover, and how she will be 'lovin' him long time'. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many considering it a highlight from the album. Many reviewers complimented its production and clever interpolation of the DeBarge sample, while some criticized it for being too simple for an artist of Carey's caliber. Though expected by critics to have surely become Carey's nineteenth chart-topping single in the United States, the track only managed to reach a peak position of number fifty-eight on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Throughout other countries where it was released, the song achieved relatively weak charting, peaking within the top forty in Japan and Slovakia, and peaking at numbers sixty-nine and eighty-four in Canada and the United Kingdom, respectively. Carey performed "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" on few live televised appearances, in comparison to the strong promotional boost the album's lead single, "Touch My Body" received. She first performed the song live at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan, on June 2, 2008. On July 31, 2008, she performed the song as part of a five-piece outdoor concert filmed for ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', as well as at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards to a standing ovation on August 8, 2008. Additionally, it was featured on the final scene of ''You Don't Mess with the Zohan'' (2008), a film in which Carey made a cameo appearance. The song's accompanying music video was shot over a three-day interval in Hawaii, and makes usage of the islands scenery, as well as shots of Carey in several bikinis, while swimming with a dolphin. == Background == Throughout 2004, Carey began conceptualizing and working on a new project, eventually titled ''The Emancipation of Mimi'', her tenth studio effort.〔 〕 The album became the best-selling album in the United States of 2005,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 50 Global Best Selling Albums for 2005 )〕 and the second best-seller around the world,〔 〕 with over 12 million units sold. It earned a myriad of music industry awards, and brought Carey back to the top of pop music following her decline in 2001. After completing The Adventures of Mimi Tour, Carey began working on material for her eleventh studio effort, the yet untitled ''E=MC²'' (2008).〔 Throughout 2007, Carey recorded the album in a studio built into her private villa in Anguilla, in the Caribbean. ''E=MC²'' was hailed as one of the most anticipated albums of 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''. "Touch My Body" was eventually chosen as the lead single through a vote in between the record executives at Island Records, with the final choices being the former and "I'm That Chick" (titled "I'm That Chick You Like" at that point). After choosing the former, the song was sent to radio stations worldwide on February 12, 2008 and to digital outlets on March 24, 2008.〔 "Touch My Body" experiences strong commercial success, becoming Carey's eighteenth chart-topping single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, as well as placing within the top-five in several European countries. As a result, ''E=MC²'' debuted at number one in Canada and the United States, with the highest first-week sales of Carey's career, and in the top three in Australia and the United Kingdom. Following in a similar formula as her last album, Carey chose a ballad to be the follow-up single, "Bye Bye". Though receiving praise from music critics, and strong speculation that it would become another worldwide hit for Carey, the song stalled at number nineteen on the Hot 100, and achieved weak international charting. Subsequently, Carey's label, Island Records, decided to release an up-tempo and dance-able number that would be easily a "summer hit".〔 They chose "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", and released it to US radio stations on July 1, 2008, and to several European markets throughout August. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
