All I Want for Christmas Is You [SEP] Background and writing
Following the success of the singer's 1993 career best-selling album "Music Box", Carey and her management at Columbia Records began devising ideas and strategies for subsequent projects. Carey's then-husband, Tommy Mottola, head of Columbia's parent label Sony Music Entertainment, began mapping out possible follow ups for the singer during the pinnacle years of her career.
