Mariah Carey likes living on the edge. In a teaser announcing her new single Wednesday (June 4), the Songbird Supreme beats around no bushes when describing her type: dangerous.
In a video posted to her social media accounts, Mimi sits behind the wheel of a luxurious car and poses in a “Type: Dangerous” tank top while singing over a groovy, percussion-heavy beat. “Looking for the dangerous type,” she belts. “I like them dangerous/ That’s my type/ I said I love them dangerous.”
“My new single ‘Type Dangerous’ is out this Friday!” she revealed in her caption.
The announcement comes just a couple of days after Carey first teased the track, sending Lambs into a tizzy with the prospect of the star’s first proper new music in years. She last dropped an album, Caution, in 2018 — but on Monday (June 2), she posted video hinting at both the new song and “MC16,” more than likely referring to her upcoming 16th LP.
Despite taking her time on her next album, Carey has certainly been active in the years since Caution debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. In addition to guesting on Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” remix in 2024 and promoting iconic smash “All I Want for Christmas Is You” each year, the vocalist has kept her Lambs fed with anniversary re-releases of her most iconic albums. Most recently, she celebrated 20 years of The Emancipation of Mimi by dropping an expansive new multi-disc version of the chart-topping album in May, featuring bonus tracks, remixes, collaborations with other artists, a capella versions of songs and live recordings.
