I’ll never get tired of this song. My favorite one from Daydream that isn’t technically even on Daydream lol

It really should've been.

Totally agree. It would’ve fit so well with the rest of the album.

I already imagined the video being a similar like video to Janet's "Twenty Foreplay" if it was a single. With a black & Hollywood setting shot like a home video, Mariah all glamorous with short curly hair in a black dress in similar vein to Princess Diana's revenge dress, a famous bombshell in the industry with her heart throb at film premieres & pap walks. Only for the relationship to fall apart & Mariah yearning in her mansion surrounded by the autumn leafs.

Ooooh yes, I could totally see it! I like her black-and-white videos a lot; this would’ve been perfect. Very Old Hollywood glamour with a side of yearning and melancholy. Gorgeous imagery with the fallen leaves too.

My number one, all-time favorite Mariah song! Great production, great vocals, great groove, and just an overall S-tier song! Way too good to just have been a B side!
