“I’m That Chick” is the sixth track on Mariah Carey’s eleventh studio album E=MC² (2008).

The song was inspired by the 70s soul and samples Michael Jackson’s “Off the Wall”. You may realize that when Mariah sings ‘There ain’t no rules, it’s up to you / Can party all night, through the night, all right’.

She also compares herself to Tupac, Biggie, ice cream flavor, the lottery and a blunt – cause she’s that chick and you can have all that in her. It’s a ‘care-free feel’ song.

Despite not being released as a single, “I’m That Chick” peaked at number 82 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and has become a fan favorite serving as a disco candy prelude to a wild night out with the girls and a reminder of M’s reign.

Mariah performed the song live at the 2008 Fashion Rocks ceremony, opening the song with a spontaneous a cappella of the track’s chorus to positive critical response. You can watch the rare performance in HD here:

Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine praised the track stating:

“I’m That Chick” is a retro treatsicle in the best, most Glitter-iest sense. It’s pinker than Pepto Bismol and just as soothing (…) The triumph of the song is that, when all of our dance-floor divas these days seem to throw one disco-descendant banger on their otherwise hip-hop-hybrid LPs almost out of obligation, “I’m That Chick” doesn’t feel even as tokenistic as Janet’s “Feedback” (which I like more, but only out of context).

On February 5, 2021, as part of her #MC30 project, which celebrates her acclaimed 30 year career, Carey released an EP with two previously unreleased Subkulcha remixes of the song.
