August's You Oughta Know artist Miguel teamed up with Mariah Carey back in 2013 for "#Beautiful," the lead single off of Mimi's Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse album. "#Beautiful" was a hit, and went on to gain Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. The song was also a major win for Miguel, who grew up listening to and crushing on Mariah.

"I grew up having a crush on this woman," Miguel says of Mimi. "It was crazy to finally get in the studio and learn so much about her and her creative process. I didn't realize that she wrote so many of her own records."
