And I was like, "Why you so obsessed with me?"
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (hey, hey, hey)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (hey, hey, hey, hey)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (will the real MC, please)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (step to the mic?)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (MC, MC)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (you need an MC)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (place to be)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (MC the MC)

All up in the blogs, say we met at the bar
When I don't even know who you are
Say we up in your house, sayin' I'm up in your car
But you in LA and I'm out at Jermaine's
I'm up in the A, you're so, so lame
And no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed, it must be the E
'Cause you be poppin', heard you get it poppin'

Oh, ooh, whoa, oh, whoa
Why you so obsessed with me? (Obsessed with me)
Boy, I wanna know (know), lying that you're sexing me (sexing me)
When everybody knows (knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me (with me), oh, oh, oh
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this

You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy, you're losing your mind
It's confusing, yo, you're confused, you know
Why you wasting your time?
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
See right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Boy, why you so obsessed with me?

So, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (and all my ladies say)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh
So oh, oh, oh, oh (and all my girls say)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)

You on your job, you hating hard
Ain't gon' feed you, I'ma let you starve
Grasping for air, I'm ventilation
You out of breath, hope you ain't waiting
Telling the world how much you miss me
But we never were, so why you tripping?
You a mom and pop, I'm a corporation
I'm the press conference, you a conversation

Oh, ooh, whoa, no, no
Why you so obsessed with me? (Obsessed with me)
And boy, I wanna know (know), lying that you're sexing me (sexing me)
When everybody knows (knows)
It's clear that you're upset with me (with me), oh, oh, oh
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this

You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy, you're losing your mind (mind)
It's confusing, yo, you're confused, you know
Why you wasting your time?
Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex
See right through you like you're bathing in Windex
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Boy, why you so obsessed with me?

So, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (and all my ladies say) (ay)
So, oh, oh, oh, oh (ay)
So oh, oh, oh, oh (and all my girls say)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (obsessed)

Ooh, whoa, oh, no, no (hey)
Why you so obsessed with me? (He's all up in my George Foreman)
Boy, I wanna know (know)
Lying that you're sexing me (lying that you're sexing me)
When everybody knows (knows)
It's clear that you're (eh) upset with me (with me), oh, oh, oh (eh)
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this (no)

You're delusional, you're delusional (he's all up in my George Foreman)
Boy, you're losing your mind (boy, I wanna know)
It's confusing, yo, you're confused, you know? (But I can't do, nothing for him)
Everybody knows (you love me, you love me)

About This Song

"Obsessed" is a biting dismissal of delusional fans and fabricated celebrity relationships, wrapped in Mariah Carey's signature blend of pop and R&B with a distinctly modern edge. The song confronts the phenomenon of parasocial relationships and stalker-like behavior, where individuals create elaborate fantasies about intimate connections with celebrities that exist only in their minds. Carey's lyrics systematically deconstruct these false narratives, pointing out the logical impossibilities and geographical contradictions in the obsessor's claims while maintaining a tone of exasperated amusement rather than genuine anger. The production features a hypnotic, minimalist beat with stuttering synths and trap-influenced percussion that was ahead of its time, creating an almost hypnotic backdrop that mirrors the repetitive, cyclical nature of obsessive thoughts. Carey's vocal delivery alternates between her trademark whistle register flourishes and a more conversational, almost dismissive tone that emphasizes the absurdity of the situation. The song tapped into the growing awareness of celebrity stalking and social media harassment in the digital age, resonating with both famous figures who experienced similar situations and everyday listeners dealing with unwanted attention. Beyond its surface-level celebrity context, "Obsessed" functions as an anthem of self-empowerment and boundary-setting, encouraging listeners to reject gaslighting and maintain their grip on reality when others attempt to rewrite their personal narratives.

    LOL Its funny how people get all mad over some celebrity shit. anyways MC did not tell off EM. Em burned MC on his diss called warning ft. Mariah Carey, haha. He chewed her ass up and talk about EXPOSED. Second of all, this isnt the first time they've gone at it. Superman by Em is about Mraiah. The song Clown by MC is about Eminem. Third of all this song is good, but auto tone as a diss? not a very smart idea in doing a come back, but hey that's there shit not ours. So idk why you guys even bother in getting offended if Eminem isnt the one Exposing you and MC isn't the one talking back to you and denying things. Point blank, THERE BEEF NOT YOURS! they could give a fuck about what you think about there little cat dog drama.

    Y'all are crazy if you think she is better than Eminem. Eminem is wayyyyyyyy better. Mariah is like what? 60? she way old.

    I actually like the song but after reading the lyrics word for word, it kinda sound like a kid wrote it. I mean as long as she has been in the music industry she, or the song writers should be able to come up with something a little better.

    I like both Em and Mariah...and I do think Em killed her in his response. But, to be honest...in the end, I think Mariah wins b/c 1) I can't even remember what he said in whatever the name of that song is b/c I've only heard it like once...what good is a comeback if the masses have not heard it; 2) on the other hand, Obsessed is currently #11 on the Billboard charts and gaining steam, on top of the fact that the video is hilarious; and 3) at the end of the day, according to estimated net worths, she is worth way more than him and has more accolades. Plus, as an MC, he looks like an idiot for picking a fight with a R&B chick. So, at the end of the day, she wins!

    I think Mariah just made a response to Em's Bagpipes From Baghdad. She just won't diss Em if he just made a statement on some radio station.Plus she just won't sit around if someone was disrespecting her like what happened in the song. As a strong woman, of course she'll fight for it with an eye for an eye.So I guess Em started it first- and then he dissed her again.
  • Anonymous
    Even if Em slept with her why keep whining bout it. Was it that serious? He needs to get over it. Some people hatin on MC talkin bout she old. Well Em must love that cougar, lol. He sounds obsessed to me!!! How long has it been and he still talkin bout it!!! All these dudes on his d**k just want to suck it, lol.

    Someone finally stands up to Slim Shady!!! I hope he reliases what its like now to be spoken about cos thats all he's ever done in his tracks.
