Mariah Carey shares the back cover of her upcoming memoir which features a note from the star

It was revealed last November that Grammy award winning artist Mariah Carey is set to pen her memoir, published under Andy Cohen’s Imprint. 

And on Wednesday, Mariah shared a peek at the back cover, which features a letter from the star herself to her fans.

The legendary singer, 50, also included a countdown on her stories with the back cover, but did not reveal if it is a countdown for its release or for a view of the front of the book.

The five-time Grammy Award winning singer, who is one of the best selling music artists of all time, captioned the back cover/letter with: ‘Delivered! “I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light.”‘ 

The quote she included in the caption is actually a lyric from her 1997 hit song Butterfly, which is co-wrote and co-produced with Walter Afanasieff.

On the back of the book, Mariah wrote: ‘It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments – the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today.’

The mother of two continued: ‘Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview.’

Adding: ‘And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.’ 

Mariah, who has sold over 200 million records worldwide, said: ‘This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed woman I became tell her side.’

She said that ‘writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.’

The star ended it with, ‘love, Mariah.’ 

The memoir will be published by Andy Cohen Books; the name and release date is not yet known.

The Bravo TV star’s self named imprint launched this year through Henry Holt and Company, according to Billboard. 

The imprint was originally announced in 2016.
