Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Can't Let Go

"Can't Let Go" Is A Ballad Written And Produced By Mariah Carey & Walter Afanasieff Recorded For Carey's Second Album Emotions 1991 . It Was Released As The Album's Second Single In The Fourth Quarter Of 1991 In The United States And The First Quarter Of 1992 Elsewhere. The Protagonist Of This Synthesizer-Heavy Ballad Laments An Ex-Lover Who Has Moved On And Though She Tries She "can't Let Go". Carey Had Fallen Out With Her Songwriting Partner Ben Margulies Following A Financial Dispute And Her Record Label Suggested That She Work With The Other Producers Of Her Debut Album Such As Rhett Lawrence Ric Wake And Narada Michael Walden. She Chose Walter Afanasieff Who Had Produced Her Second Single "Love Takes Time" 1990 And "Can't Let Go" Was One Of The Songs They Created. After The Release Of The Single "Emotions" "Can't Let Go" Was Promoted On Both The Arsenio Hall Show In September 1991 And Saturday Night Live In November 1991. The Single's Video Directed By Jim Sonzero Features Carey Wearing An Evening Gown And Her Hair In A Bun. Filmed In Black And White The Video Starts And Closes With Shots Of A Rose Open And Closed Respectively. A Radio Edit Of The Song Was Promoted To Radio And Used For The Video Instead Of The Original Song And The Edit Eliminates The Lengthy Pre-Intro And Removes All Of Carey's High Notes At The Song's Beginning And End. Like Carey's Previous U.S. Singles "Can't Let Go" Won A BMI Pop Award In 1993.
