Lyrics:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

The older you get, the more personal this song becomes. Damn, this song is a masterpiece.
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋We played this at my baby girls funeral. I miss her every day. Its been 21 years since she passed away, I still remember the exact moment she took her last breath in my arms. She let go of my hand & took ahold of The Lords. Momma loves you Kadance,I miss you baby girl. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 Edit: today- October 6th was her Birthday. She would've turned 21 years old. Happy birthday in Heaven sweet girl 💖🦋 Momma will always love you.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm so sorry for your loss! May Kadance R.I.P. :( Wish you to have a wonderful New Year!
God bless you.
godbless u!
My condolences it's not easy losing a child .
For the young ones who have yet to discover the glory and wonder of Mariah Carey's legendary music catalog. This is why Miley Cyrus shared that BUTTERFLY story in her GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance acceptance speech for FLOWERS. Miley Cyrus is both intelligent and KIND. May she have a career that would scrape the celestial grandeur of the career of each member of The Great Vocal Trinity.
Vocally Impossible to replicate 😭
Am I the only one who thinks this is the most beautiful song she has ever made? Whenever I hear her voice in this song it makes me cry knowing all of the pain she was once in.
Jasmin C. I agree. She even mentioned it herself...it's her favorite ballad that she ever made.
& Can't Take That Away
Yep. Most hurtful and deep song ever made by anyone
Jasmin C. This is definitely her most beautiful song of hers , this or O Holy night those songs fuck me up😩
Jasmin C. Im literally sitting here crying 😢 I was a teenager when this song and her album came out. I miss those days 😢😣😦😩
Beautiful video. Notice how she was trapped in the house looking on the outside at the horses running free. She wanted that freedom. She held on as long as she could before she broke free and started running like the wild horses. "Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies." Her spirit could've died if she stayed with Tommy.
Empressive I agree. She should have NEVER married Tommy Mottola!
Empressive I just broke free from a similar situation, it's so liberating to listen to her music when you need it most. Healing and strengthening...
+Empressive all her videos are beautiful
What exactly was she running from?
+Khristine L Running means she was free... I guess...
Thanks to Miley to refer Mariah's butterfly. ❤
This is honestly the saddest and most intimately beautiful song of all time. You can just feel her pouring her heart out with every passing phrase. There will never be anyone like Mariah Carey. She is truly one of the Greatest artists of all time!

Director: How many butterflies do you need? Mariah: I need horses
Hahahaha🤣🤭👍👍
I get why the horses are in this video But this comment made literally LAUGH OUT LOUD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a single butterfly. I think she wanted all the attention on her voice and a deeper meaning.
But you are right!😂😂😂🤔
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I turned 37 today and i learned that this song is not just about romantic love but a love that trascends from family to friends and the growth that we encounter. We become better souls. Thank you Mariah

This is definitely the masterpiece from Mariah Carey

oo increible
Mariah in the ‘90s was unstoppable. When she released Butterfly, I remember thinking, “Damn! She’s at the top of her game.” Beautiful music, lyrics, voice.
And she's still no.1 on billboard in the 2020s

I'm here 2024!!!
Best believe it
😊
I am here in 2024
yeap 😊
A lot of people don't know that Mariah wrote this song wishing this is how Tommy felt about her. This wasn't necessarily how she felt about someone. She was basically singing to herself as Tommy, wishing he felt this way & he'd let her go. She admitted she thought she'd go back to the marriage but it didn't work out.
Eric S
Eric S I thought so. It clearly sound like she singing from two perspectives but overall the song is about her personal liberation.
nice. I'm going to restart it now and listen to it again.
You are so beautiful Eric
His big loss,I don't think he knew what he had,& I think he should listen to Brian McKnight's should've.. song..

Thanks for your thoughts, truly inspiring...

To anyone who is hurting sad or love someone please understand that this is their song it takes courage to love strength to love and if you have strength please note these are your butterflies I love you Corey in every way that counts
One of her best ever. She needed to experience what that marriage was to break free and be her own person. She's timeless.
This song saved me from committing suicide 2 years ago. I was in my apartment at that time I was depressed and suicidal, I planned to do it in the bathroom and I heard this song playing on the small window outside the bathroom then I started crying and for some reason I couldn't do it.
So glad you're still here
I'm so thankful for that🙏🏽
The day I heard this song was the day I fell in love with Mariah Carey. I don't care what anyone has to say about her currently. To me, she will always be talented. There's nothing I or anyone for that matter that can take it away from her. Mariah Carey is and always be the best singer in the world
Agree^^^
True, she's already cemented her legacy.

I've loved her since "Vision of Love". "Butterfly" is beautifully written song and her vocals are perfect. I loved her then and I love her now. To me as well she will forever be my #1.
True dat :)
her voice has something really unique that other singers don't have.. She is truly gifted
We need to find a description for this uniqueness and create a word for this

And VH-1
Those were the days
Yeah me too so sad
And had a tape recorder ready
She spoke in this song! She was truly releasing herself in this song! She was the butterfly 🦋❤
Yes she is 🦋🦋🦋🦋💜❤
Miley just took me here to this Beautiful Song , after listening her speech!!!!!
Her voice was so unreal! As a professional singer for 20 years I had people come up to me and tell me how amazing and beautiful my voice was but I could never sing like this. This kind of vocal power is only from God. I am truly amazed when I listen to these old songs. Wow it’s a shame when people get older that others don’t recognize and remember their greatness and only want to point out flaws and all of us age and all of us lose the power and strength we once had in our youth but hopefully we will get to a point where we gain wisdom and we stop putting people down. ♥️
Yeah her voice is so rich and powerfull
The qualities of his voice are endless, the power is just one of them
I would love to hear you sing
Nicely said 👍
Icônica! Mestra!
Butterfly and Daydream are her best albums in my opinion. Adore this song.
Music Box is wonderful and perfect
Never a truer word has been spoken my friend! X
daydream music box and butterfly is her trinity

Communist Fajita truly!
So many moments in Mariah’s music are almost impossibly beautiful. Simply put, no one in the game today is producing anything near this level of production in vocals, performance, and musicality of composition and production. The way the bridge builds in this song with the melodic line ascending by half steps, switching from minor to major on certain words like “overtaking me”-like she is climbing steps and unsure of how to fly until she finally does in the incredible run over the first chorus backgrounds. It is such a great pairing of music and lyrics! Not to mention that she has the voice of a Siren, stunning and mesmerizing! There are moments in her music that reach sublime, like the great artists before her. Mariah painted a whole picture with her music. She didn’t only make pop music, she made musical art 🖼️. One of the greatest ever!✨
Here cause Miley mentioned it in during the 2024 Grammys.
her crying while singing this has a tremendous effect on the song itself
every time destroys my soul, the impact is incredible
Truly. ❤
Their will never be another Mariah! Embrace her while she is here. She has the voice of an “Angel”. Love you Mariah!
I will...💚
I almost cry
There can never be another of any person in this world overall. So what’s the purpose of you opening like that ? It is us humans who pit ppl against each other and then cause beef and contention. Each individual is talented in their own right. We should try to appreciate individual talents and stop the needless comparison.
Hope , soon M.C make concert in phil.
So very true ❤she is one of a kind she can bring emotions out you never knew existed.

Im so sorry for your loss. I had a stillborn and this song reminds me of him. I wish he was here. 💛😔
Praying for you sweetie. You're not alone.
This song is a perfect example of why Mariah Carey was, is and will always be the world's greatest singer... it's not even debatable. The first time I heard the build-up for the climactic slayage my jaw dropped in disbelief! Her glorious tone is legendary, the influence of her mind-boggling riffs and runs are still heard on the radio today and the precision of her vocal acrobatics are until this day unmatched. To call this song iconic would be a gross understatement.
I totally disagree, she is the greatest singer ever, she should have won the Best Female Vocalist award of Grammy's more than once. Remember that the Best Female Vocalist award of the Grammys is the equivalent of Best Actress award by the Oscars and the people who vote in both the Grammy's and the Oscars are people from the industry, not just by fans. The musicians who vote in the Grammys know that Mariah is the greatest voice ever dubbed.
Pete Flores I agree completely. I feel the same way about the climax and build of her voice up in her cover of the beautiful ones
@@xpinksweetcheeksx she is the greatest vocal scammer of all time. The musicians, the voting public of the Grammys know she's been faking the high notes in the recording studio with comping technique
@Roger Smithson best actress award for acting that she can sing it with ease and finesse
Yes... next to Whitney! Not even debatable.
This song still touches me soul 😩🙌🏾
This is like a worship song to me 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 This song literally makes me cry out to and rwly solely on Jesus Christ himself.... never thought this song would be the one but it is!!!!!! When the pain feels like it is too unbearable.... like it will literally eat me alive....all I can do is cry to ask for Jesus's help to leave it behind 🙏🏾💕💔😭🙌🏾
Mariah's eyes are full of sadness in this video... it's amazing how she can portray such emotions flawlessly in her videos and music
That's because she still to this day can remember those deep feelings
She said in this video those were real tears
Anabolic Camel lol her art. writing, feeling and everything is for money .. ok
This is my theme song. This song helped me to grow as a man. Taught me to let go of my fears and Fly. This is my favorite Mariah song from my favorite Mariah album, Butterfly (1997). It also helped me to cope with the loss of my grandmother's in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Fly High My Angels
I am sorry for your loss.. Hope this can comfort you God's promise in the Bible for our loved ones that we lost along the way (Acts of Apostles 24:15~ "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
@@isabellakindangen86 thank you so much. I really appreciate that

This song has helped me through so much as well... Getting out of a really bad relationship, losing a good friend to cancer, you name it, it's helped me. God bless your angels up in heaven! And God bless Mariah ❤️

"Butterfly" was the first Mariah Carey album I ever bought. I still remember like it was yesterday when this album came out. The songs on this album are awesome and timeless.
Omg me too!! I was 12 I think. What a beautiful masterpiece.
It's been said that Mariah is the most intelligent and thoughtful singer/songwriters of the generation. I can definitely believe it.
can we already acknowledge that this is Mariah's best ballad and that it's not up for debate
I'd say its between this one and My All, well, at least, that's the other ballad of hers that I LOVE!
I want to agree...I really do...but My All and Vision of Love won't let me 😩😭🥰🥰🥰
Whenever you call
“Forever” is right up there too in my opinion :D
All her ballads are so good. I could not choose which is the best
Too bad that Mottola stopped the commercial release of this single in which prevented it from skyrocketing to no.1 of the billboard Hot 100. Until today, this remains my all time favorite ballad from her...timeless and showcases the true and vulnerable Mariah Carey...classic and classy.
It also happen to Can't Let Go 😢
This was never commercially released. It was just a promotional song and, back then, promotional songs were not eligible to chart.
El Roi agreed
@@reinebautistamercado4286 it was just a promo cuz already Tommy was sabotaging Mariah
Wasnt this about him not letting her go?
The way the melody of this song meanders off in the second verse is so brilliant to me because it reinforces the imagery created by the lyrics and vocals. Like something lightly fluttering away. It is impressionistic. Mariah is an 1890s painter re-packaged as a 1990s diva. Though her music is straightforward pop/rnb on its face, it has these subtle qualities that prove she is a real visionary in her field. She has been shortchanged out of getting proper credit for pretty superficial reasons.
Who is here after watching Miley Cyrus GRAMMY award?
Hum what does that have to do with anything?
Mariah Carey said the following about this song: "It was '97 and I was leaving my marriage [to Tommy Mottola]. which encompassed my life. I was writing the song 'Butterfly' wishing that that's what he would say to me. There's a part that goes, 'I have learned that beauty / has to flourish in the light / wild horses run unbridled / or their spirit dies / you have given me the courage / to be all that I can / and I truly feel ...[sings] and I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me when you're ready to land.' At that point I really believed that I was going to go back to the marriage - I didn't think I was going to leave forever. But then the things that happened to me during that time caused me to not go back. Had it been, 'Go be yourself, you've been with me since you were a kid, let's separate for a while,' I probably would've."
Mottola is such a narcissist. That's why Sony threw him out: he destroyed Mariah and Michael Jackson with his unending bullshit. Thalia will never be Mariah, and he can control her, that's why they're still married and she's in obscurity. Glad Mariah's free.
Mariah is such a music genius
Well said piece… Love ❤ Mariah
yes, and she cried for real in this video
I was in this same mind set at this time I was leaving home and the love of my life I shied every day that he would come around in some way possible but it has been over 20 yrs and he won’t even say hi just a like on Facebook and I remember a if it was yesterday as I remind myself that I let him go and run like those unbridled horses in this song!! I loved him and always will and will never forget him at all !!!
I was watching Michelle Dy's IG story and I can feel her pain of losing a best friend, added that Butterfly was the background music. Lloyd's fave Mariah song. Rest in Peace Lambily, Lloyd Cadena.
Don't make me cryyyy, Lloyd Cadena is alive, this is all just a nightmare, WAKE ME UPP

I came here because of Miley Cyrus🫶🏻
This song surely hits different as a grown woman now that I’ve experienced the lyrical content in my own life. Wow. There will always be that one person that comes into your life that will you love so deeply but knowing love is a choice, you have to learn how to let the person you love go on and fly into their happiness, while in turn you will hold the warmest memories of them dear to your heart with no regrets while embracing the lessons learned during the time you had them in your life. By divine timing I met a catalyst/twin flame counterpart that I was so spiritually connected to. Meeting him literally changed my life and taught me that I am beautiful, while inspiring me to love myself for who I am and to break free from any fears that once held me back from being the greatest version of myself. I now know anything is possible if I only believe. I wanted nothing more than to be with him and hold on to him forever but ultimately I had to release him and continue my spiritual journey on my own. I’m grateful to my spirit guides for bringing him into my life, if only for a season, I will cherish every moment I had with him and release him to the universe to spread his wings and fly.
Literally what I’m going through now. It was a one sided thing, but I’m realizing he was a catalyst for me to love myself more. Although the pain of letting him go hurts so much, I truly believe he has already returned to me. I just needed him to show me how to love myself first.
If he is your twin flame or soulmate, he is yours to keep. He has already returned to you. 🫶❤️
Don’t fall for twin flame bullshit. Look up limerence.
@@dejanae7336 my experience and journey is real and no one can convince me otherwise. It’s not limerence, maybe what you experienced was limerence but don’t put your convictions on me because we are different people with different experiences. Just because you don’t believe in the twin flame dynamic doesn’t make it any less real. The purpose of the twin flame dynamic is to bring you closer to God/The Divine, to be spiritually awakened to your higher self, so you can serve your true purpose on this earth and that’s exactly what it’s done for me. Twin flame isn’t always purposed for Union either. Once people get that through their head then we can talk.
@@Hi.Shadow I was obsessed with twin flames for years and realized/woke up that shit ain’t feel like God at all. Felt like the devil made that shit up to only take you away from the truth. The Bible. & people wanna make an excuse for sleeping with somebody who’s married /in a relationship Lol. A lot of people who think they’re “twin flames” are delusional & hopeless romantics. Hanging on to the last bit of hope they have for life/love when God has been there all along to guide you to true love. No one is above him. GOD will never send you “the one” and they’re entirely unavailable in every way. Now can he make you aware of this person, sure. That’s it. People start to lose morals over this concept and can’t control themselves. It’s just weird. All of it. If you look up twin flame stories, most of them sound like horny people who fell in love with someone in a relationship/married and sad they person won’t leave their spouse. It’s so messed up. . .which is what the devil wants. Ruined marriages. Some marriage however are beyond repair but that’s another topic. 😅 anyway, blessings.
One of the most difficult songs to sing. Iconic and will forever live in the coming generation
All her songs.
Yeah..All Her Songs.
It is.
Love this song so much
A masterpiece. Such beauty in this song and in this video. You can feel her pain in every single note. The lyrics are so profound and deep. You don't hear music like this anymore on the radio...which is why people are walking around like lifeless zombies. The younger generation have no clue what real music is. They are being robbed, cheated. and brainwashed by the music industry. Back in the day when I was young, my friends and I lived for these love ballads. They flooded the airwaves and kept us believing in LOVE. What the hell happened???
amen...

This is Vocal Suicide 😍 Mariah Carey 👑

Lewis Woodhall Emotions isn’t that hard. My All is a really hard song though.
@Lewis Woodhall Butterfly is much harder than Lead The Way. Those belts are mindblowing
Realize that she recorded the vocal parts in three layers. Singing this song in one go is humanly impossible
This is the hardest ballad song ever recorded !
If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be. Deep.

That verse is kind of generic for me, this song has much better lines than that one lol

"Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass now I understand to hold you I must open up my hand and watch you rise." Stuck out to me more
I have learned that beauty has flourish in the light.. wild horses run unbridled or they spirit dies... You given me the courage to be all that I can! 😊love it Mariah
Mariah you're the best!!!! Thank you for your beautiful music❤❤❤❤
She's a GENIUS of a songwriter.
Butterfly is still an unmatched album artistically. Mariah is the GOAT
FAX!! Happy anniversary lamb 🎉
This song is about letting someone go even when you love them so dearly if that's the only way for them to be happy. It's not an easy thing to do thus she sings "blindly I imagine I could keep you under glass" she wants to be selfish and keep that person with her but she knows she's not part of that happiness anymore. I just realized that this song is very selfless. I was so focused on the literal meaning that I forgot that the butterfly in this song is a metaphor.
I want this song to be played at my funeral when the time comes. I have also dedicated this song to my dogs Lenox (10/28/05 - 7/7/22) and Lexi (4/5/06 - 2/2/22) who recently passed away 😢.
🙏💜🦋
Is there some way we can bring this back to the billboard hot 100?!
This song strongly deserves to be recognized Today
it never appeared on the billboard hot 100 as it was never released as a commercially available single. but it still is a hit!
Yes great song!!!!

Yes she was so passionate
This song is so beautiful. The tears she cries while singing is what gets me every single time.
I remember this song .. before be broke up each other we both sing this song together ... 😢😢and now it's a memory that never been forgotten ... 😢😢
One thing I love most about this record, was how personal it was coming from her. Notice how she starts the song unlike many others, in her low register. Simply beautiful, you know while recording this, was coming straight from the heart/emotions!! Then it ends with her POWER vocals, her soul is flying in the music as well!!!!!
+MIMI CAREY i agree
💰💰💰📿💜🎀🛫
No one can come close to her level. This woman is everything! Her voice, her soul, her emotions, her musicianship and creativity made her the best singer in the world! There will never be another Mariah Carey!

So true

FACTS !! UNMATCHED VOICE, VOCALS AND ARTISTRY
Holy smokes u can write a song!!! The first sentence is so worldly and honest that's magical
I think I was 9 around the time Dreamlover came out. The first time I heard her I was standing in line at 6 flags, waiting to ride the log flume, and they had Dreamlover playing over the speakers. She sounded like an angel. Even now, Butterfly is one of my favorite songs. It brings me to tears every time. 90s Mariah spoke for so many people who were struggling with being different. I hope she has a fulfilling life in and outside of music.
You guys need to interpret the metaphors that represent the horse and the song lyric "butterfly". When she wrote this song she was coming out of her marriage with Tommy Mottola who controlled her music career during their marriage. Once she divorced she felt free again..hence at the beginning the horse running around in a circle and towards the middle of the song, the horse jumps and is free. So the horse represents the freedom that MC was yearning for so long. there.
👏👏👏👏👏
i thought this song is for Tommy Motola when they divorce hence the lyric "if you shall return to me, we're truly meant to be"?
He was kinda abusive, I doubt she wanted him to return to her.
O QUE É MESMO
Andres Jimenez OMG I got major goosebumps reading that comment. That's so inspiring knowing that. I can't imagine how she felt.
I was a 13-year-old in the summer of 1997 when the videos of the Butterfly album came out. That was when I started to pay extra attention to Mariah Carey. I will always like Butterfly because the video symbolizes breaking out and finding freedom when you feel trapped. I felt seriously trapped socially at that time because at that age, others at school were always finding excuses to spread rumors about me, and my parents were, to a degree, "parenting too much." It was extremely difficult for me to trust anyone, because society would not allow me to be myself. Things improved during high school, but after graduation, I've only been able to keep in touch with friends online, and it doesn't provide me that same type of feeling that I had during those years. I feel emotional about this video because while my life has improved since then, I still feel socially trapped because it's hard being a 35-year-old single in a world where(from my experience, anyway) seemingly every woman is already with someone, and those who aren't with someone either don't care or they seem to have a desperate mentality. Because of what my life has gone through socially, I will always consider this my favorite music video of all time.
I was 6 yrs. old

I was 12
I feel the same way only it’s been 3 years since I’ve finished school, I was left out by my entire year group, I have no social skills, and a just wish a miracle would happen for me. I need ver had that chance for independence, my parents babied me my whole life so I always rely on them for everything, I quit uni after 5 months because of no social life and I’m shit at learning. Life sucks
Big hugs and love to you
The horses in the video are memorable and special.
💯💯💯
I love the video of horses running wild and free. N P.❤

It's 2021: I've belted this song out in pain, hurt, resentment, regret, humility & releasement more than i care to say. It gave me a chance to yell, cry, sing, release & be free to finally calm down...all covered up in song & rhythm. Listen...you won't always understand other people's pain completely...but when you see & hear theirs you surely can feel & relate. Thank you Mariah my dear... thank you for helping me get some of this pain out of my heart, mind & soul💜🦋
❤️
I felt this💚
What a loser.
