}} "Touch My Body" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, taken from her eleventh studio album, ''E=MC²'' (2008). It was written by Carey, along with Crystal "Cri$tyle" Johnson, Terius "The Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and produced by Mariah Carey and "Tricky" Stewart, and was released as the album's lead single on February 12, 2008. Lyrically, the song features a double message, with the first describing sexual fantasies with her lover, while also jokingly warning him against recording or releasing information regarding their rendezvous. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many highlighting the song's light pop melody and hook; however, it also garnered some backlash from certain music reviewers, who felt the song did not properly represent the singer's acclaimed 5-octave vocal range. "Touch My Body" became Carey's eighteenth chart topper on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making Carey the solo artist with the most number one singles in United States history, surpassing the record held by Elvis Presley. Additionally, it gave Carey her 79th week atop the chart, tying Presley for most weeks at number one. Throughout Europe, the song also achieved high charting, peaking within the top five on the charts in Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Carey performed "Touch My Body" on several live televised events and programs, debuting it on ''Saturday Night Live'' as a two-piece performance. Similarly, Carey opened the ''Good Morning America'' "Summer Concert Series" on April 25, 2008, singing the song, as well as two other singles from ''E=MC²''. Similar renditions took place at the season premiere party of ''The Hills'', as well as a mash-up of the song with "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" at the Teen Choice Awards. Aside from reprising performances of the British programs ''The Sunday Night Project'' and ''The Paul O'Grady Show'', and German talent show ''Deutschland sucht den Superstar'', the song was included on the set-list of Carey's North American Angels Advocate Tour, held throughout 2009 and 2010. The song's music video was directed by filmmaker Brett Ratner, who had previously worked with Carey on five other music videos. It follows around a story revolving around a computer employee's fantasy as he visits Carey's home. As he fixes her computer, he enters a fantasy in which the pair perform several activities together, including pillow fights, laser tag, Guitar Hero, slot cars, and frisbee throwing, all while Carey shows off her figure in several revealing outfits. The music video won in the category of "Best Comedic Video" at the 2008 BET Awards, and won the "MTV Video Vanguard Award" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. Additionally, the video was nominated for "Best Female Video" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. == Background and release == Carey achieved critical and commercial success with her tenth studio album, ''The Emancipation of Mimi'' (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,〔 〕 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).〔 ''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.〔 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「Touch My Body」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
