"Beautiful" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriters Mariah Carey and Miguel. It was written and produced by Carey and Miguel, alongside Nathan Perez and Brooke Davis; Perez also aided in producing the song. Released on May 6, 2013, Carey and Miguel did not reveal that they had collaborated on the song, until April 25, 2013, when Carey revealed the title in a 25 second teaser video during season twelve of American Idol. It was also on Idol, on May 9, that Carey premiered the official music video for "#Beautiful", before uploading an alternative edit to her VEVOaccount, that is set to the explicit version of the song.
"#Beautiful" is a mid-tempo and stripped down R&B, soul and pop track, which garnered critical acclaim from critics, many of whom were complimentary of Carey's decision to collaborate with Miguel. After garnering an audience impression of 31 million in its first two days of radio airplay, the song debuted at number 44 on the US Radio Songs chart. Carey taped a perfomance of the song along with a medley of her greatest hits on May 15, 2013; the taping aired the following day on the Season 12 finale episode of American Idol. The song is currently positioned at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
