While listening to our favorite songs, rarely do we stop to think about what made the singers feel so deeply about life that they penned such beautiful lyrics.
Well, now we might get some answers. In the latest episode of the series, singer Mariah Carey spoke about her life when she wrote the song Portrait from her album Caution. She recalled on the episode,
I don’t know another word other than real for what that song ‘Portrait’ meant to me at that moment. I was completely isolated by myself and saying, let me get this off my chest and we’re going to end the album with this. It’s still kind of a deep song to listen to.
In a conversation with Variety, she further dove into her emotions and life when she penned the song. Portrait went on to become a massive hit amongst fans. She even claims that the song helped her work through some issues in life. It all started becoming clear to her as she wrote the lyrics of Portrait and eventually released it for her fans.
