Miguel explains the story behind Mariah Carey’s hashtag

Earlier this month, Mariah Carey released her latest single ‘#Beautiful’ featuring up-and-coming star Miguel, who has revealed the mystery behind the hashtag in the title.

Talking to MTV News, Miguel explained “The hashtag in the title of this song is particularly fitting because the word that comes before ‘beautiful’ when I sing the chorus is an expletive that I can’t say on air. But the hashtag is particularly fitting for that expletive, if you just kind of pay a little bit of attention.”

The single is the first track to be released from Carey’s new album, which Miguel insists has been an honor to work on. “She’s incredible. She’s not only a beautiful spirit, inside and out, she’s just really talented,’ he said. “I couldn’t even fathom how creative she really is and how fast her mind works. … The fact that she had so much vision — enough to want to do the record as it was — and include me is a huge blessing and I appreciate it. She really is beautiful, absolutely, the title was fitting.”
