Daydream is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on September 26, 1995, by Columbia Records. The follow-up to her internationally successful studio album Music Box and the holiday release Merry Christmas, Daydream differed from her earlier works by incorporating stronger elements of urban music. Carey composed Daydream with producers and songwriters such as Walter Afanasieff, Dave Hall, Boyz II Men, Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal, and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The album helped the singer make a subtle transition into the contemporary R&B market after having previously pursued pop, adult contemporary, and traditional rhythm and blues. The album marked the beginning of her musical and vocal transition toward hip-hop—a change that would become more evident on her sixth studio album, Butterfly. During its production, she endured numerous creative conflicts with her label and her then-husband, Tommy Mottola. Daydream's songs explore fantasy, isolation, and romantic vulnerability.
