Last week, Mariah Carey dropped her first proper single in years — and now, “Type Dangerous” is getting a music video, as revealed Monday (June 9).
As teased in a clip posted by the vocalist on her socials, MC’s new visual will arrive on Friday (June 13). The preview finds a characteristically glamorous Carey walking into a casino in a sparkling floor-length dress. The vibes are fun and carefree, with the exception of a hint of danger when the camera pans to a man holding a knife behind his back.
“To show my appreciation for your support, thank you, DJs,” Mimi says on the track over more shots from the video, one of which finds her sporting a glittering New York Knicks tank top in front of a wall of PO boxes, just weeks after the Knicks were eliminated from the NBA finals by the Indiana Pacers in game six of their Eastern Conference showdown.
The “Type Dangerous” music video will arrive exactly one week after the song dropped on June 6. Carey teased the new single for a few days prior to its release, also hinting in one post that her long-awaited 16th album would be following soon after. The Songbird Supreme hasn’t dropped an album since 2018’s Caution, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Carey’s video announcement also came on the same day she gave “Type Dangerous” its live performance debut at the 2025 BET Awards, where she was also honored with the Ultimate Icon title. “My life and career have been quite the adventure,” the superstar said while accepting the award, which marked her first-ever BET honor. “It took me a while, but I realized life is far too short to live for anyone else’s approval.”
