專輯介紹
美國有一個古老的迷信：彩虹是夢想與希望的象徵，當彩虹出現時會帶來幸福。Mariah Carey本人表示，專輯會取這名字完全是意外，其實直到開始錄製專輯時，她還完全不知道該如何命名。但就像上帝的指引般，那天的錄音特別不順利，當她因為錄音的疲倦步出錄音室外時，突然看見到天空有兩道彩虹，那兩道彩虹比起以往所見的彩虹還絢麗奪目。看到那些鮮艷幸福的色彩時，她感到極大的感動，瑪麗亞凱莉表示過去一年來，有許多事情的發生讓自己的心情起伏不定，但是她相信彩虹所能帶來的幸福。瑪麗亞凱莉還表示，一個完美的世界應該如同彩虹般，雖然有不同顏色的存在卻能和諧共存，因此便命名該專輯為《Rainbow》。
歌詞
When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry
Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that deep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're
Tryin' to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new
Late at night like a littie child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
Sipping Bailey's Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And try to forget you
Late at night like a littie child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
SNOOP'S VERSE
Late at night like a littie child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me
