“Instantly transported back to 1993. You’re timeless MC!” one follower wrote, while another chimed in, “This casual style looks so good on you!”
For the ’90s video, Carey had worn a blue-and-white flannel knotted at the bottom revealing her mid-section, paired with cuffed jean shorts and a chunky black belt with her hair in ringlets, tied in low pigtails.
Crooning to the camera, the footage cut back and forth between Carey solo in a field, rolling in the grass and also featured multiple shots with dancers dressed in a variety of styles.
No. 1 for eight weeks on theBillboardHot 100, “Dreamlover” was the lead single from Carey’s third studio albumMusic Boxand became one of the biggest songs of 1993, helping steer her toward a more pop-centric style.
For the track, Carey partnered with Dave Hall, who had earned fame for his work onMary J. Blige’s 1992 debut.
In a 2003 conversation with authorFred Bronson, Carey said she “wanted to do something that had a happy feeling, something that was more open and released, and that’s really not Dave.”
“It’s very anti what he’s about … Then we started listening to a lot of different and old loops,” she added.
