At the beginning of the week, Mariah Carey announced that her new single “The Art of Letting Go” will be premiering on November 11, now she has once again taken to her Facebook page to reveal some more details about the record for her legions of fans, who have been sending in many questions.
Addressing her Lambs, the Pop icon thanked everyone for their comments and shared that the record, which she worked on with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, was created out of a very organic place.
“It might sound over the top but when I was singing this song, I felt like I had touched upon certain emotions within myself that I haven’t put on a record in a very long time,” shared Mariah.
They created two records together for her upcoming album, and she deeply loves them both.

Hey lambs,
Thank you (!!!!!) for all your comments this week about the announcement of “The Art of Letting Go.” I wish I could answer all of your questions and I’m gonna try my hardest and definitely tell you a bit more about the song.
I wrote and produced “The Art of Letting Go” with my friend, the uber talented Rodney Jerkins. We had worked together before, but this time around, I feel we went down a more organic path in terms of our approach to the songwriting process.
“The Art of Letting Go” was the second of two beloved songs I wrote with Rodney for this album. As we were writing, we both got goosebumps and a feeling of nostalgia. It might sound over the top but when I was singing this song, I felt like I had touched upon certain emotions within myself that I haven’t put on a record in a very long time. I truly can’t wait for all of you to hear and share these feelings with me.
#LettingGo !!!! 11.11.13 !!! –MC
“The Art Of Letting Go” will premiere on Mariah’s official Facebook page on November 11.
