| I think everyone else has covered the song's meaning pretty well. It's about the confidence of knowing that you and another person are destined for each other, despite being apart from them at present time. I'd like to say that I typically detest the r&b poppy stuff that makes up most of Mariah's catalog--and yet, this song is really well written...and RIDICULOUSLY catchy. Can't help it, I gotta like it. | |

| Firstly, MY GOD butterflyprince$$, learn to type!!!! Anyhoo, this is my favourite song of all time. I love Mariah, and I first listened to this song whilst listening to her Greatest Hits on holiday with my friends and my school to the south of France for like, two weeks. I fell in love with it. I listened to it non-stop and every night before I went to sleep. Its so beautiful and catchy and carries a lot of memories. | |

| well.. this is a good song. I like it and all but some of the lyrics are a little stalkeresque (i don't care if stalkeresque isn't a word, i'm using it anyway) "Now you want to be free So I'll let you fly 'Cause I know in my heart, babe Our love will never die No You'll always be a part of me I'm part of you indefinitely Boy, don't you know you can't escape me " scary. the rest of the song is good though | |

| I have noticed that "Always be my baby" and "Don't Forget about us" have similar meanings. | |

| this song is wonderful. i am at a time in my life right now where it's one of the only things that can make me feel better, because i know exactly what mariah is saying. her boyfriend is confused and not sure of what he wants, so he's pushing her away. however, she doesn't let it get to her because she knows eventually he'll come to his senses and come back. if only it was that easy! | |

| personally, this song is the best mariah carey song. it's about her and someone breaking up i guess, but to her he will will always be her baby...it's about first love and how you won't forget them no matter what. a lovely song, amazing in fact :) | |

| You have to love this song, not only for the rhythm itself but the meaning behind it. You know the relationship is over and you can't do nothing about it, and the only thing you can keep is yourself thinking that "he'll always be a part of you", and that you were the best thing that he had. I can't help thinking of this guy, also my first love, and thinking that, that particular line means that he will always be my first man, and that won't ever change. | |

| Its a really pretty song! Her voice is amazing in it, as her early stuff is definitely her best, and this song is a classic! Its about being in love with someone and your love being so deep, that you feel, a part of both of yourselves will always be together. | |

| This song sounds a little stalker-ish. She's all like "Boy, don't you know you can't escape me" "No way you're never gonna shake me" It's very Enrique Iglesias... "You can run you can hide, but you can't escape my love." Very scary actually. Mariah.. find a guy that loves you back! | |

| well actually I totally know what she sings about i this brilliant song... the guy loves her, but he can't really cope with it and says he wants his freedom, and she just lets him go cuz she KNOWS he'll always come back... she doesn't worry cuz they belong together. | |

| awww...this is my favorite r&b song....i get all bitter-sweet when i hear it...its a really good song. its pretty much speaking about a relationship thats over, but even though they arent together now, they learned so many things from each other and gained so much that they will always be a part of each other. Mariah is great...someday im gonna name my daughter after her... | |
