Mariah Carey<\/a> is not one to hold back or bite her tongue. Nor can she hide her facial expressions.<\/p>\n Many saw such facial expressions during the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards back in March, where she was honored with the Icon Award. During the ceremony, singer and prolific songwriter Muni Long<\/a> \u2014 whose real name is Priscilla Renea Hamilton \u2014 performed a cover<\/a> of Carey\u2019s chart-topping single \u201cWe Belong Together.\u201d<\/p>\n As the camera panned to Carey while Long was performing, viewers saw a shocked reaction on her face. Additionally, Long\u2019s vocals prompted a mixed reaction online. In an interview with GQ<\/a> <\/em>published Wednesday, September 24, Carey revealed what was going through her mind at the time.<\/p>\n Apparently, Carey couldn\u2019t hear clearly in the venue, so she thought Long was performing her own song, \u201cMade for Me.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI just didn’t know that she had done \u2018We Belong Together\u2019 [as a cover] \u2018cause her song was so similar to \u2018We Belong Together,\u2019 Carey said. \u201cI had no idea that she did \u2018We Belong Together.\u2019\u201d When told that Long sang the song in her own register, Carey then revealed how she truly felt. \u201cWell, I’m very honored and flattered that she did it. I love Muni Long, she’s a great person, umm, but I just don’t like people doing my songs.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, Carey contributed to a remix of \u201cMade for Me.\u201d She and Long previously collaborated a decade prior on the song \u201cInfinity\u201d \u2014 on which Long is credited as a co-writer under her old stage name, Priscilla Renea. In 2018, Long co-wrote \u201cA No No\u201d on Carey\u2019s album, Caution<\/em>. But in recent years, Long has taken a step back from co-writing and shifted focus toward her own solo material.<\/p>\n Fans can look forward to new music from Carey on Friday, Sept. 26, when she drops her 16th album Here For It All<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/a> Watch Mariah Carey Sign Rihanna\u2019s Chest During Concert<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Anderson .Paak Is Making New Music With Mariah Carey<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Muni Long Says Mariah Carey ‘Appreciated’ Her “We Belong Together” Tribute<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Two Words Were Barred From Diddy’s Trial.
