Hmm, oh, oh, sweet love, yeah I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so I should have held on tight, I never should have let you go I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I couldn't have fathomed I would ever be without your love Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself Guess I didn't know you, guess I didn't know me But I thought I knew everything I never felt The feeling that I'm feeling, now that I don't hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips, 'cause I don't have a choice Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side Right here, 'cause, baby When you left, I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back, baby, please 'Cause we belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough?

A canção foi escrita e produzida por Mariah Carey em parceria com Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal e Johntá Austin, inspirando‑se no R&B e soul dos anos 1980.
O arranjo destaca acordes simples de piano e um backbeat discreto, enquanto a batida de percussão foi programada a partir do som característico do Roland TR‑808, típico do hip‑hop.
“We Belong Together” liderou as paradas dos Estados Unidos por 14 semanas não consecutivas, marcando o retorno triunfal de Carey após um período de declínio de carreira entre 2001 e 2005.
A música quebrou repetidamente recordes de BDS Airplay nos EUA e foi eleita pela Billboard a canção mais popular da década de 2000, além de ser a mais bem‑sucedida por uma artista feminina na história da revista.
No clipe, Mariah usa o mesmo vestido de noiva que usou ao casar-se com Tommy Mottola em 1993; ela preservou o traje após o divórcio em 1998 e o ofereceu ao diretor quando ele precisou de um vestido.
Em 2006 a faixa rendeu a Carey dois Grammys, consolidando seu status de “redefinição de carreira” após críticos terem anunciado o fim de seu sucesso.
