Another season, another reason to breakdown and review another Mariah Carey Single!

.

This week on The Obsessed Podcast, we revisit one of the most misunderstood chapters in pop history: “Loverboy,” the glitter-soaked lead single from Mariah Carey’s Glitter era. Released in 2001, the Cameo-sampling anthem arrived amid industry drama, tabloid scrutiny, and one of the most turbulent periods of Carey’s career.

.

Join us as we unpack the song’s infectious pop-funk production, the infamous “Firecracker” sample controversy, and how “Loverboy” has evolved from a critical punching bag into a fan-favorite cult classic.

We’ll explore the track’s playful sexuality, its groundbreaking blend of pop, hip-hop, and funk, and why the Glitter era deserves a long-overdue reappraisal.

.

Whether you’re a lifelong Lamb or discovering Mariah’s deeper cuts for the first time, this episode celebrates the resilience, reinvention, and undeniable charm behind one of her boldest singles.
