Nick Cannon Seemingly Says He Wants Mariah Carey ‘Back’ In New Single ‘Alone’ — Listen

hollywoodlife.com:

Nick Cannon has a new single about being single, and this time, he’s speaking to his ex-wife, Mariah Carey.

Although the musician and talk show host didn’t directly shout-out Mariah, the lyrics made it pretty clear about whom he was thinking, as he even sampled her 1990 song “Alone in Love” for the track. “I say I’m cool when I know I miss it / I’d trade it all for the case / If I could have you back / If I could go back to where we started at,” the lyrics say.

Elsewhere in the song, Nick goes on, “As much as I want you back/ It’s probably better where you at/ ‘Cause I’m still running the streets/ I’m still all in the sheets/ Having babies, models and singers and actresses saying they pregnant by me.” Although there’s no news of note on whether Nick and Mariah are truly reconsidering their relationship, following the tragic death of his 5-month-old son Zen on December 5, Nick, 41, did reportedly heard from his ex, 52. “Mariah has reached out to Nick in private to express her deepest and most sincere condolences for the loss of his son,” a source close to the singer EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. “She is not expected to say anything about it publicly and she will not discuss it if asked about it because Mariah prefers to keep these types of matters private.” The source also said that while things “did not work out” between Mariah and Nick, the exes — who share 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan — “have a wonderful coparenting situation and she could not be any more pleased with how that is going.” The insider added, “Nick plays an active role in the lives of Monroe and Moroccan and he is a good father.
