Mariah Carey has officially announced her long‑awaited sixteenth studio album, titled Here For It All, set to release on September 26, 2025, via her new independent imprint under Gamma (source). The announcement came on July 21, 2025, when she shared a sleek teaser video on Instagram featuring herself strutting in stilettos in front of her album artwork clutching a quick snippet of the title track—confirmed as “Here For It All”—while her fans, tagged as #MC16, soared with excitement (source).
This marks Carey’s first full-length studio release since 2018’s Caution, ending a seven-year gap between albums (source). The record is her first under Gamma, the independent label launched by Larry Jackson in 2023, and features L.A. Reid as executive producer—reuniting with the artist after his work on her landmark albums The Emancipation of Mimi and Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (source).
The album’s lead single, “Type Dangerous,” dropped on June 6, 2025, co-written and co-produced with Anderson .Paak, and prominently samples Eric B. & Rakim’s “Eric B. Is President” (source). The track has already been remixed by artists including Big Sean, Busta Rhymes, DJ Snake, Method Man, and Luísa Sonza, bridging Mariah’s legendary sound with modern collaborators (source). Carey also teased a second single, “Sugar Sweet,” through a playful Instagram clip, hinting it will arrive soon and likely feature mystery guests (source).
In a June interview with Apple Music hosts Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden, Carey revealed that the album is complete and reflects her life over the past decade—the highs and lows of her artistry and her journey as a mother to 14-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan (source). She hinted at an 11 to 12-track project featuring a blend of nostalgic ballads and fresh, upbeat material that remains distinctly Mariah (source).
The forthcoming album represents more than a release—it’s a new chapter of independence and creative control for Carey. By aligning with an indie label rather than a major, she is owning her narrative and legacy in a shifting music industry landscape (source, source, source). With the album arriving in fall, Here For It All positions itself as both a fan celebration and a cultural reset, reaffirming Carey’s title as the Songbird Supreme.
