Wiki
"I Stay in Love" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, taken from her eleventh studio album, E=MC² (2008). It was written by Carey, Bryan-Michael Cox, Adonis Shropshire and Kendrick Dean, and produced by the former two.
"I Stay in Love" was released through Island Records on October 28, 2008, as the fourth and final single from the album. Drawing influence from the R&B music genre, the song features a piano and keyboard-driven melody, and a strong accompanying drum-beat. Lyrically, the song finds Carey getting "her cry on with the connect-the-dots break-up track." She describes the old time she shared with her love interest. She narrates that even though they said let go, and that she is aware that there is nothing left in their relationship, she still "stays in love with him".
Carey performed the song live as well as a special performance of Hero with the conteststants on November 8, 2008 on "The X Factor" in the United Kingdom. As people say, Mariah gave one of her most astonishing live performances ever, even though a mic problem caused a high pitched noise as Carey belted out her big notes. After performing on The X Factor five of Carey's songs entered the itunes top 100 in the UK including "I Stay in Love," as well as "Anytime You Need a Friend," "Without You," "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and her original version of "Hero," some of the songs performed on the night by her and the remaining contestants.
Carey will perform the song at the American Music Awards 2008 which is scheduled for November 23, 2008 at the Nokia Theatre.Dick Clark productions president, Orly Adelson, announced that Mariah Carey will perform at the 2008 American Music Awards
