"The Crave Song" was originally written for the "Daydream" album. It is unknown who Mariah wrote or produced it with. Mariah teased about the song in interviews, only calling it "The Crave Song" and mentioning that it was full of innuendo. Her manner of speaking showed a side of her that had never been seen before. However, she also mentioned that she would never release the track. Mariah used to have a record label named Crave, but there is no evidence to suggest that the song and the record label are related.[1]
On September 27, 2020, Mariah revealed that she recorded a secret rock album called "Someone's Ugly Daughter" while recording her hit studio album, Daydream. The lines "I crave you" can be heard in the song "Demented" which prompted fans to believe that it was "The Crave Song."
