“Like, what do you do if you grew up with an opera singer for a mother, who went to Juilliard and made her debut at Lincoln Center?” Carey told W magazine.
She doesn’t like to talk about her age, and when it came to creating her holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” she and first husband Tommy Mottola were careful to give it feel that was classic and not of-the-moment.
She and Mottola, a music executive who is 21 years her senior, crafted the tune around their apartment one night, plucking notes on a keyboard. It debuted in 1994 and has charted every holiday season since. Carey covers the December issue of W Magazine. In it, she dishes on her iconic holiday song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which debuted 28 years ago in 1994.“I didn’t want it to feel specific to any era, so we didn’t use sounds that were happening at that time. That way, it would feel classic and timeless,” Carey said of producing her megahit “All I Want For Christmas Is You.
