Heartbreaker (Mariah Carey song)

December 18, 2023

"Heartbreaker" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey featuring American rapper Jay-Z for her seventh studio album Rainbow (1999). It was released on August 23, 1999, by Columbia Records as the lead single from Rainbow. The song was written by the artists and produced by Carey and DJ Clue, with additional writers being credited for the hook being built around a sample from "Attack of the Name Game" by Stacy Lattisaw. "Heartbreaker" pushed Carey even further into the R&B and hip hop market, becoming her second commercial single to feature a rapper. Lyrically, the song describes lovesickness towards an unfaithful partner.

"Heartbreaker" received mixed reviews from music critics, many of whom felt it was not original or innovative in terms of a creative step forward. Additionally, it was compared heavily to Carey's 1995 hit single "Fantasy", which also built its hook from a sampled beat. "Heartbreaker" topped the Canadian Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Carey's 14th US chart-topper. The single topped the New Zealand Singles Chart and was a top-five single in Croatia, France, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Carey performed "Heartbreaker" live on several international television and award shows, as well as on her concert tours. The accompanying music video for "Heartbreaker", directed by Brett Ratner, is one of the most expensive ever made, costing over US$2.5 million. The video features Carey and her friends visiting a film theater and catching her boyfriend (played by Jerry O'Connell) on a date with another woman. Carey played herself and a brunette villainess named Bianca Storm, during a physical altercation scene between the two women. Due to contractual agreements at the time of its filming, Jay-Z was unable to make an appearance in the original music video, though he would appear in a recut version soon after. The video was inspired by several other films, including Grease, Scarface and Enter the Dragon.

Background edit

With her sixth studio effort, Butterfly (1997), Carey started infusing hip hop elements in her songs, working with different, and younger, producers and songwriters. After the album's success and the release of her first compilation album #1's (1998), Carey began to work on her seventh album, Rainbow (1999).[1] Her main focus on the album was to continue on the same path she began with on Butterfly, producing a subtle combination between inspirational ballads and hip hop beats. "Heartbreaker" marked the first time in Carey's career that a rapper was included on a lead single, following Ol' Dirty Bastard, who was featured on the Bad Boy remix of "Fantasy" in 1995. While recording the album in Capri, Italy, Carey claimed to have spent most of the time developing what she felt to be a strong lead single.[3]

Originally, "Heartbreaker" was intended to be part of Carey's debut film soundtrack, Glitter, however, after the film's delay, it was included on her album Rainbow.[1] Prior to the song's radio release, Carey spoke of it in an interview: "It's pretty much [in] the classic style of my up-tempo classics like 'Fantasy' or 'Dreamlover,' [...] But it's kind of fun and has a new edge to it, I think, and definitely having Jay-Z takes it to a whole 'nother level. And [DJ] Clue makes it really fun and stuff."[4]

Recording and lyrics edit

While developing Rainbow, Carey had different ideas for the lead single.[5] After writing the song's core lyrics and producing the main idea and melody, DJ Clue, one of the earlier producers in the project, suggested to Carey the use and incorporation of the hook from "Attack of the Name Game" by Stacy Lattisaw.[5] After agreeing to it, they incorporated Carey's lyrics and melody to the hook, and began recording the song. However, after completing "Heartbreaker", Carey felt it needed a strong male verse, hoping for a rising hip hop artist. She chose to work with Jay-Z and began re-arranging the song as he wrote out his verse.[5] Jay-Z wrote his entire verse and helped produce some of the song's core instrumentals. In an interview with Fred Bronson, Carey spoke of her experience working with Jay-Z:

"It's fun when you can find someone that you can relate to and that you respect. Jay-Z is someone I admire as a writer and as an artist. We could be sitting in the studio, and he can freestyle a rhyme that would be incredible just off the top of his head. He doesn't need a pen and paper. I equate that to a singer who can pick up the mike and riff and ad-lib over a song and take you to a totally new place."[5]

Aside from her work with Clue and Jay-Z, Carey's longtime friend and background singer Trey Lorenz also took part in the song's production. He provided the back-up vocals in the song, and took part in several small areas of the development of Rainbow.[5] When interviewed by Bronson, Carey spoke highly of Lorenz, "He's an amazing writer and singer, he's so influenced by the old school stuff, yet he's so current. He's known me since before my first album, and he's a great, loyal friend."[5] Aside from the use of the sample and Jay-Z's verses, "Heartbreaker" contains strong female-empowering lyrics, which Carey wrote as a sort of anthem, especially because she felt that she personally has been in a similar predicament in the past.[5]

"Heartbreaker" is a moderately slow, mid-tempo pop, hip hop/R&B track.[2][1][6] According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of D♭ major,[6] while the beat is set in common time which moves at a moderate pace of 100 beats per minute.[6][7] It has a sequence of D♭–B♭m–D♭ as its chord progression.[6] Carey's vocals in the song span from the note of D3 to the high note of C7.[6] The song has a "percolating beat" over which Carey sings with nasal, silken and declarative vocals.[8] The verses feature Carey's signature melismatic style, combined with rapid yet seamless transitions; for example, Carey starts the second verse already in mid-belt "It's a shame to be" while then going off into a whispering coo for "so euphoric and weak."[6]

Aside from background vocal stylings from Lorenz and other women, Carey added her own lowered vocals into the song, giving the impression of a "doubled voice." "Heartbreaker" samples the 1982 song "Attack of the Name Game" by Stacy Lattisaw. The song's hook and loop were taken and incorporated into the melody of "Heartbreaker", as well as being used as its main instrumental components. The lyrics are constructed in the verse-pre-chorus-chorus form. Carey starts with the hook "Gimme your love, gimme your love," repeated eight times.[6] Carey repeats the chorus four times, ending the song with a final "Gimme your love, gimme your love."[6] Chuck Taylor from Billboard described its instrumentation as a "persistent guitar lick" and wrote "There's an identifiable chorus here, and some semblance of verses, but more than anything, this song comes across as a blur of jumbled in the background, including Carey's own repetitive harmonies, which in this case sound more like a competition than a compliment."[9]

Remixes edit

The song's main remix, titled Desert Storm Remix, features female rappers Da Brat and Missy Elliott. It is the first of Carey's remixes that was produced by Desert Storm Records producer and rapper DJ Clue, who makes an introduction on the remix. The remix contains lyrical interpolations and an instrumental sample from "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" by Snoop Dogg. In an interview with MTV News, Carey spoke of the song's remix before its official release in August 1999: "And then the remix. I'm so excited about the remix. It's also gonna go on the album, and it features Missy Elliott and Da Brat, and it's kinda like a girl-power answer record, and it's to the loop of Snoop [Dogg]'s 'Ain't No Fun.' They're not ready for that one!".[10] A separate music video was filmed for the remix, shot in black and white and featuring a cameo appearance by Dogg. The Desert Storm Remix received mixed reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine chose the song as one of the top three cuts on Rainbow, alongside the original.[11] Danyel Smith from Entertainment Weekly called it "[an] overblown [...] miscalculation" and wrote "Missy Elliott's and Da Brat's bad sexual politics sink the tired 'Heartbreaker [Remix].'[12] Larry Flick from Billboard, called the remix "muscular" and "street-savvy" and wrote "Missy Elliott and Da Brat lace rhymes into the track, which is enhanced by the sample from Snoop Dogg's 'Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)'."[13]

Additional remixes of "Heartbreaker" include a remix that interpolates "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" by singer Val Young, as well as a live mashup of "Heartbreaker" and "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross, performed for VH1 Divas 2000: A Tribute to Diana Ross tribute for Ross. The latter remix was released for digital download and streaming in October 2020, when Carey released the "Heartbreaker" EP as part of her #MC30 EP series.

"Heartbreaker" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, some of whom compared it heavily to Carey's previous lead singles. Dara Cook from MTV called the song an "airy ditty" and wrote "[On the song] Mariah exudes as much sentiment as hollowed-out driftwood."[16] Cook continued onto the song's production, writing "By texturing it into the song, producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have finally found productive use (other than song closing spectacle) for Mariah's high octave shriek."[16] AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine named "Heartbreaker" as one of his top three choices from the album.[11] Danyel Smith from Entertainment Weekly called the song a "delectable confection" and wrote "she smartly uses Jay-Z's droll rap about a bratty girlfriend as tart counterpoint to her creamy tones," however calling it a recycled version of Carey's previous songs "Dreamlover" (1993) and "Fantasy" (1995).[12] Elysa Gardner from the Los Angeles Times called the song "breezy" and noted how Carey "brings a similarly light, sensuous touch" to "Heartbreaker". Additionally, Gardner complimented Jay-Z's rap verses, calling them "sly."[17] Editor from Rolling Stone Arion Berger, called it "nasal, silken and declarative" while "riding the percolating beat."[8] Additionally, Berger also compared it to Carey's "Fantasy", for its similar usage of a sampled hook.[8] Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly reviewed the song individually, giving it an F. He called it a "rehash" of "Fantasy" and wrote "What self-respecting artist would have the gall to recycle the Tom Tom Club's 'Genius of Love' (the source of 'Fantasy') for a second time in four years? It's a given that pop will eat itself, but this sort of self-cannibalization should be illegal."[18] However, the sample used in "Heartbreaker (feat. Jay Z)" was not the same sample as the one used in "Fantasy". Chuck Taylor from Billboard gave the song a mixed review, writing "Yes it's a hit, and her voice is in fine form, but 'Heartbreaker' is a disappointment in terms of what we know she's capable of writing."[9]

Music video edit

 
In the still, a brunette version of Carey, named Bianca Storm, is shown. Carey, playing herself, is seen confronting her in the restroom.

The music video for "Heartbreaker" was filmed at the Los Angeles Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles on July 30–August 1, 1999. Directed by Brett Ratner, the music video began airing on MTV on August 16, 1999, following its premiere on the network's Making the Video series.[13] According to Carey, the goal for the video was to mirror the lyrical content of the song, as well as showing it from a female perspective. Additionally, the video was filmed in a comedic fashion, intended to remain something "fun and exciting."[39] The video became one of the most expensive ever made, costing over $2.5 million.[40] Due to its strong female empowering message and nature, the video remains "a fan favorite", according to MTV News.[41] Carey claimed that two films were used as inspirations, Grease and Enter the Dragon.[41] Prior to filming the video, it became clear that Jay-Z would be unable to appear in the video, due to a contractual agreement not allowing him to appear in a video for two weeks after he shot for "Girl's Best Friend", his track off the soundtrack to the film Blue Streak. Jay-Z and Carey managed to film a scene for the video, which was briefly documented on Making the Video, although the documentary edited Jay-Z out of the footage to focus on Carey in order to not violate the contractual agreement.[42] Carey then thought of creating the animated section in the video, which was quickly drawn and animated by Ratner's team.[42]

The video begins with Carey driving up to a large film theater, the Los Angeles Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, with several of her female friends. As they pull up to the front doors, they tell Carey that her boyfriend is inside with another woman, leading her to try to convince them to abort the plan of confrontation. After convincing her, they enter the theater and begin a series of small dance routines alongside some of the theater employees. As the music begins, scenes of them dancing and Carey entering the film projection room inter-cut. Carey sits behind her boyfriend (played by Jerry O'Connell) and the woman he is cheating with, Bianca Storm, who appears to be Carey sporting a short brown wig and red seductive clothing, and spies on them in a comedic way with her female lackeys. Soon after, Storm leaves her seat and walks toward the bathroom, prompting Carey to follow her during a short interlude in the video. Upon running into each other by the restroom, Carey pokes Storm, starting a large brawl between the two women. Afterward, Carey appears to have defeated Storm, and heads back toward the film room. During this scene, Jay-Z's rap verse is played, while an animated clip of Jay-Z and Carey is projected onto the screen, with an announcement that Jay-Z would appear in the video two weeks from the premiere date. This is followed by a scene where Carey and her friends, wearing oversized bob wigs, dance around in a bedroom. Later, a version of the video was released where Jay-Z raps his verse in a Jacuzzi while Carey and a security guard appear behind, followed by segments of the animated film. During the verse, Carey's friends begin throwing popcorn and other candies at O'Connell, prompting a small food fight in between them. As they halt their attack on him, Carey walks toward O'Connell's seat and acts as though she is Storm. After she sits next to him and he notices who it is, Carey spills a large soda on his lap and bids him farewell, leaving the theater with her friends smiling.

The animated section in the middle of the video adds a different twist to the relationship. Jay Z's voice (presumably her ex-boyfriend's internal dialogue, as it refers to the relationship in first person) explains that when they were a couple she was a very exploitative and controlling girlfriend, frequently demanding money and sex, using him to support her female cohorts and seeing him as some kind of trophy boyfriend. She also frequently got into fights with other women if she believed he was being adulterous (oddly in concert with the video's live-action segments) and answering his phone to ensure he was not somehow cheating. When she decided to get a tattoo of his name, he broke up with her, and she continued trying to follow him and talking about him, while also seemingly still in love with him. Which, again, is basically what is shown in the live-action segments.

Live performances edit

In order to promote "Heartbreaker", Carey performed the song live on several television and award show appearances, as well as recorded her own Fox Broadcasting Company special.[39] Titled The Mariah Carey Homecoming Special, it was a mini-concert filmed at Carey's old high school in Huntington, New York. The special aired on Fox on December 21, 1999, and featured Jay-Z live on stage for his verses.[39] Carey performed "Heartbreaker" and its accompanying remix at the MTV European Music Awards, held on November 11, 1999, in Dublin, Ireland. For the performance, Da Brat and Missy Elliott both joined Carey on-stage. Additionally, the song was performed on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which again featured the female duo live on stage, British music chart program Top of the Pops, French program Vivement Dimanche, and The Today Show.[43]

For Rainbow, Carey embarked on her fourth and third worldwide tour, titled the Rainbow World Tour (2000).[citation needed] Throughout it, Carey performed the song live during every show. The synopsis behind each performance was a wrestling match in between Carey and Storm, where Carey would sing the remix and original versions of the song throughout each small interlude of the fight.[citation needed] Carey was brought out with boxing gloves to the stage, performing the remix version of the song. After she began wrestling and boxing with Storm, she defeated her, prompting her to begin the original version of the song.[citation needed] "Heartbreaker" featured a very different set up for Carey's Charmbracelet World Tour: An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey (2002–03).[citation needed] During the tour, Carey wore a sparkling, Swarovski bikini number, and performed both the remix and original versions back-to-back.[citation needed] Several male and female dancers were on stage during the performances, as well as different musicians and back-up vocalists.[citation needed] During Carey's following tour, The Adventures of Mimi Tour, "Heartbreaker" was once again performed at each of the shows.[citation needed] For the song's recital, Carey's donned a black bikini and matching silk cape, as well as Christian Louboutin platform pumps. Several male dancers were present on stage, wearing black overalls and jackets while performing heavy dance routines.[citation needed] For the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Carey was joined by both Da Brat and Jay-Z for the remix and original versions, respectively. During the Angels Advocate Tour, the song was paired with Love Hangover by Diana Ross, and performed in a mash-up, the same as she did in VH1 Divas in 2000.[citation needed] For the Caution World Tour, Carey performed both the remix and original versions of the song, albeit briefly interrupted by Storm attempting to pick a fight until being knocked out by Carey; with the backup dancers dragging her offstage.

Certifications and sales 13 Release history 14 ReferencesBackground editWith her sixth studio effort Butterfly 1997 Carey started infusing hip hop elements in her songs working with different and younger producers and songwriters After the album s success and the release of her first compilation album 1 s 1998 Carey began to work on her seventh album Rainbow 1999 1 Her main focus on the album was to continue on the same path she began with on Butterfly producing a subtle combination between inspirational ballads and hip hop beats Heartbreaker marked the first time in Carey s career that a rapper was included on a lead single following Ol Dirty Bastard who was featured on the Bad Boy remix of Fantasy in 1995 While recording the album in Capri Italy Carey claimed to have spent most of the time developing what she felt to be a strong lead single 3 Originally Heartbreaker was intended to be part of Carey s debut film soundtrack Glitter however after the film s delay it was included on her album Rainbow 1 Prior to the song s radio release Carey spoke of it in an interview It s pretty much in the classic style of my up tempo classics like Fantasy or Dreamlover But it s kind of fun and has a new edge to it I think and definitely having Jay Z takes it to a whole nother level And DJ Clue makes it really fun and stuff 4 Recording and lyrics editWhile developing Rainbow Carey had different ideas for the lead single 5 After writing the song s core lyrics and producing the main idea and melody DJ Clue one of the earlier producers in the project suggested to Carey the use and incorporation of the hook from Attack of the Name Game by Stacy Lattisaw 5 After agreeing to it they incorporated Carey s lyrics and melody to the hook and began recording the song However after completing Heartbreaker Carey felt it needed a strong male verse hoping for a rising hip hop artist She chose to work with Jay Z and began re arranging the song as he wrote out his verse 5 Jay Z wrote his entire verse and helped produce some of the song s core instrumentals In an interview with Fred Bronson Carey spoke of her experience working with Jay Z It s fun when you can find someone that you can relate to and that you respect Jay Z is someone I admire as a writer and as an artist We could be sitting in the studio and he can freestyle a rhyme that would be incredible just off the top of his head He doesn t need a pen and paper I equate that to a singer who can pick up the mike and riff and ad lib over a song and take you to a totally new place 5 Aside from her work with Clue and Jay Z Carey s longtime friend and background singer Trey Lorenz also took part in the song s production He provided the back up vocals in the song and took part in several small areas of the development of Rainbow 5 When interviewed by Bronson Carey spoke highly of Lorenz He s an amazing writer and singer he s so influenced by the old school stuff yet he s so current He s known me since before my first album and he s a great loyal friend 5 Aside from the use of the sample and Jay Z s verses Heartbreaker contains strong female empowering lyrics which Carey wrote as a sort of anthem especially because she felt that she personally has been in a similar predicament in the past 5 Composition edit nbsp Heartbreaker source source A 28 second sample of the song featuring Carey singing the chorus over the soft background Problems playing this file See media help Heartbreaker is a moderately slow mid tempo pop hip hop R amp B track 2 1 6 According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes com the song is written in the key of D major 6 while the beat is set in common time which moves at a moderate pace of 100 beats per minute 6 7 It has a sequence of D B m D as its chord progression 6 Carey s vocals in the song span from the note of D3 to the high note of C7 6 The song has a percolating beat over which Carey sings with nasal silken and declarative vocals 8 The verses feature Carey s signature melismatic style combined with rapid yet seamless transitions for example Carey starts the second verse already in mid belt It s a shame to be while then going off into a whispering coo for so euphoric and weak 6 Aside from background vocal stylings from Lorenz and other women Carey added her own lowered vocals into the song giving the impression of a doubled voice Heartbreaker samples the 1982 song Attack of the Name Game by Stacy Lattisaw The song s hook and loop were taken and incorporated into the melody of Heartbreaker as well as being used as its main instrumental components The lyrics are constructed in the verse pre chorus chorus form Carey starts with the hook Gimme your love gimme your love repeated eight times 6 Carey repeats the chorus four times ending the song with a final Gimme your love gimme your love 6 Chuck Taylor from Billboard described its instrumentation as a persistent guitar lick and wrote There s an identifiable chorus here and some semblance of verses but more than anything this song comes across as a blur of jumbled in the background including Carey s own repetitive harmonies which in this case sound more like a competition than a compliment 9 Remixes editThe song s main remix titled Desert Storm Remix features female rappers Da Brat and Missy Elliott It is the first of Carey s remixes that was produced by Desert Storm Records producer and rapper DJ Clue who makes an introduction on the remix The remix contains lyrical interpolations and an instrumental sample from Ain t No Fun If the Homies Can t Have None by Snoop Dogg In an interview with MTV News Carey spoke of the song s remix before its official release in August 1999 And then the remix I m so excited about the remix It s also gonna go on the album and it features Missy Elliott and Da Brat and it s kinda like a girl power answer record and it s to the loop of Snoop Dogg s Ain t No Fun They re not ready for that one 10 A separate music video was filmed for the remix shot in black and white and featuring a cameo appearance by Dogg The Desert Storm Remix received mixed reviews from music critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine chose the song as one of the top three cuts on Rainbow alongside the original 11 Danyel Smith from Entertainment Weekly called it an overblown miscalculation and wrote Missy Elliott s and Da Brat s bad sexual politics sink the tired Heartbreaker Remix 12 Larry Flick from Billboard called the remix muscular and street savvy and wrote Missy Elliott and Da Brat lace rhymes into the track which is enhanced by the sample from Snoop Dogg s Ain t No Fun If The Homies Can t Have None 13 Additional remixes of Heartbreaker include a remix that interpolates If You Should Ever Be Lonely by singer Val Young as well as a live mashup of Heartbreaker and Love Hangover by Diana Ross performed for VH1 Divas 2000 A Tribute to Diana Ross tribute for Ross The latter remix was released for digital download and streaming in October 2020 when Carey released the Heartbreaker EP as part of her MC30 EP series Critical reception editProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusic nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp 14 Stereogum7 10 15 Heartbreaker received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics some of whom compared it heavily to Carey s previous lead singles Dara Cook from MTV called the song an airy ditty and wrote On the song Mariah exudes as much sentiment as hollowed out driftwood 16 Cook continued onto the song s production writing By texturing it into the song producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have finally found productive use other than song closing spectacle for Mariah s high octave shriek 16 AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine named Heartbreaker as one of his top three choices from the album 11 Danyel Smith from Entertainment Weekly called the song a delectable confection and wrote she smartly uses Jay Z s droll rap about a bratty girlfriend as tart counterpoint to her creamy tones however calling it a recycled version of Carey s previous songs Dreamlover 1993 and Fantasy 1995 12 Elysa Gardner from the Los Angeles Times called the song breezy and noted how Carey brings a similarly light sensuous touch to Heartbreaker Additionally Gardner complimented Jay Z s rap verses calling them sly 17 Editor from Rolling Stone Arion Berger called it nasal silken and declarative while riding the percolating beat 8 Additionally Berger also compared it to Carey s Fantasy for its similar usage of a sampled hook 8 Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly reviewed the song individually giving it an F He called it a rehash of Fantasy and wrote What self respecting artist would have the gall to recycle the Tom Tom Club s Genius of Love the source of Fantasy for a second time in four years It s a given that pop will eat itself but this sort of self cannibalization should be illegal 18 However the sample used in Heartbreaker feat Jay Z was not the same sample as the one used in Fantasy Chuck Taylor from Billboard gave the song a mixed review writing Yes it s a hit and her voice is in fine form but Heartbreaker is a disappointment in terms of what we know she s capable of writing 9 Chart

Los Angeles on July 30 August 1 1999 Directed by Brett Ratner the music video began airing on MTV on August 16 1999 following its premiere on the network s Making the Video series 13 According to Carey the goal for the video was to mirror the lyrical content of the song as well as showing it from a female perspective Additionally the video was filmed in a comedic fashion intended to remain something fun and exciting 39 The video became one of the most expensive ever made costing over 2 5 million 40 Due to its strong female empowering message and nature the video remains a fan favorite according to MTV News 41 Carey claimed that two films were used as inspirations Grease and Enter the Dragon 41 Prior to filming the video it became clear that Jay Z would be unable to appear in the video due to a contractual agreement not allowing him to appear in a video for two weeks after he shot for Girl s Best Friend his track off the soundtrack to the film Blue Streak Jay Z and Carey managed to film a scene for the video which was briefly documented on Making the Video although the documentary edited Jay Z out of the footage to focus on Carey in order to not violate the contractual agreement 42 Carey then thought of creating the animated section in the video which was quickly drawn and animated by Ratner s team 42 The video begins with Carey driving up to a large film theater the Los Angeles Theatre in downtown Los Angeles with several of her female friends As they pull up to the front doors they tell Carey that her boyfriend is inside with another woman leading her to try to convince them to abort the plan of confrontation After convincing her they enter the theater and begin a series of small dance routines alongside some of the theater employees As the music begins scenes of them dancing and Carey entering the film projection room inter cut Carey sits behind her boyfriend played by Jerry O Connell and the woman he is cheating with Bianca Storm who appears to be Carey sporting a short brown wig and red seductive clothing and spies on them in a comedic way with her female lackeys Soon after Storm leaves her seat and walks toward the bathroom prompting Carey to follow her during a short interlude in the video Upon running into each other by the restroom Carey pokes Storm starting a large brawl between the two women Afterward Carey appears to have defeated Storm and heads back toward the film room During this scene Jay Z s rap verse is played while an animated clip of Jay Z and Carey is projected onto the screen with an announcement that Jay Z would appear in the video two weeks from the premiere date This is followed by a scene where Carey and her friends wearing oversized bob wigs dance around in a bedroom Later a version of the video was released where Jay Z raps his verse in a Jacuzzi while Carey and a security guard appear behind followed by segments of the animated film During the verse Carey s friends begin throwing popcorn and other candies at O Connell prompting a small food fight in between them As they halt their attack on him Carey walks toward O Connell s seat and acts as though she is Storm After she sits next to him and he notices who it is Carey spills a large soda on his lap and bids him farewell leaving the theater with her friends smiling The animated section in the middle of the video adds a different twist to the relationship Jay Z s voice presumably her ex boyfriend s internal dialogue as it refers to the relationship in first person explains that when they were a couple she was a very exploitative and controlling girlfriend frequently demanding money and sex using him to support her female cohorts and seeing him as some kind of trophy boyfriend She also frequently got into fights with other women if she believed he was being adulterous oddly in concert with the video s live action segments and answering his phone to ensure he was not somehow cheating When she decided to get a tattoo of his name he broke up with her and she continued trying to follow him and talking about him while also seemingly still in love with him Which again is basically what is shown in the live action segments Live performances edit nbsp Carey and her dancers performing Heartbreaker on the Charmbracelet Tour in 2003In order to promote Heartbreaker Carey performed the song live on several
