Mariah Carey has claimed that ageing "just doesn't happen" to her, as she refuses to acknowledge the passing of time.
The singer spoke about this in a recent interview, where she also shared that she also wrote a song about her approach to getting older ahead of the release of her new album, Here For It All.
On her approach to ageing, Carey told Harper's Bazaar UK: "I don't allow it - it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time - I have a new song that starts with that line".
Elsewhere, Carey also reflected on her life while writing her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey in 2020.
"Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic. We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth", she said. "I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it. I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me, and I went through that".
Carey also added that she wanted "to have a laugh" on her latest single, Type Dangerous, a song which she has described as "tongue in cheek".
She also spoke about her mother's influence on her music career: "We didn't always have the world's greatest relationship, but certain things she said or did resonated with me as a kid".
"She once told me, 'Don't say if I make it, say when I make it.' That just stuck with me, and I never gave up".
Last month, Carey had previously spoken about refusing to accept the passing of time or birthdays. More on this story here.
