"Thirsty" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her fourteenth studio album, ''Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse''. It was co-written by Carey in collaboration with Hit-Boy, Denesia Andrews and MaryAnn Tatum. Carey and Hit-Boy also produced it, with co-production from Rey Reel. The alternate version of "Thirsty", featuring one rap verse from American rapper Rich Homie Quan, received its radio premiere on Power 105.1 on May 13, 2014, a day before the album version featuring just Carey was made available to stream. It has been described as a "club-friendly" R&B song influenced by hip hop, which makes use of a minimal synth beat. The song was met with a mixed reaction from music critics; some were complimentary of her decision to work with Hit-Boy and Rich Homie Quan, while others felt that Carey was trying too hard to appeal to a mass audience by doing so. Electro pop band Purple Crush also claimed that Carey used the hook from their 2013 song of the same name. Following the release of the album, "Thirsty" debuted on the South Korean International Gaon Single Chart at number 78 due to strong digital download sales. The song was included on Carey's 2014 tour, The Elusive Chanteuse Show. ==Background== During an interview with Power 105.1 radio in a segment called ''The Breakfast Club'', the host asked Carey if she had made a "bounce, gentleman's club" song due to the recent popularity of artists choosing to record "strip-club" songs, such as "Drunk in Love" by Beyoncé and "Pour It Up" by Rihanna. She confirmed that she had recorded a song for ''Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse'' called "Thirsty", which embodies the same feel. Carey revealed that she had collaborated with Hit-Boy on the track. "Thirsty" was co-written by Carey in collaboration with Hit-Boy, Denesia "Blu June" Andrews, and MaryAnn Tatum. Production of the song was carried out by Carey and Hit-Boy. It was co-produced with Rey Reel. Jeremy Cimino, Nico Essig, Rob Katz, Rob Suchecki, Matt Weber assisted in the song's recording, at Rapture Studios, Metrocity Studios, Studio at the Dunes, Beach House Studios, Henson Recording Studios, Studio at the Palms and Jungle City Studios, with mixing from Hazebanga and assistant mixing from Kevin Matela, Dave Rowland and Kenta Yonesaka at Germano Studios. The vocals were arranged by Carey, who also added background vocals along with Kaylana Tatum and Maryann Tatum. Tatum carried out additional background vocal production. An alternate version of "Thirsty", featuring one rap verse from American rapper Rich Homie Quan, was released first and received its official radio premiere on Power 105.1 on May 13, 2014, while the solo album version featuring only Carey was made available to stream a day later. The single artwork for "Thirsty" was released on May 13, 2014. In the colourful picture, Carey is making a "sultry" pose in a strapless bikini top with matching lower half wrapped around her, with her midriff on show. Brett Maloc for E! thought that Carey looked "skinnier than ever". Despite Carey and Def Jam both confirming "Thirsty" as the fourth single to be released from the album, no release date was set. "You Don't Know What to Do" featuring Wale was released to urban contemporary radio on June 30, 2014 and rhythmic contemporary radio on July 1, 2014, as the fourth single instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=You Dont Know What To Do )〕 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「Thirsty (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
