‘Save the Day’ is the first single off of Mariah Carey’s 7th compilation album The Rarities.
Originally, the idea was to reunite a variety of musicians to conceive the song as a charity single. On February 12, 2011, Jermaine Dupri tweeted:
If this song comes out the way I want it, it’s gonna be incredible.
At the occasion, he mentioned Mariah herself, Taylor Swift, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly and Drake on the tweet.
Still in 2011, Jermaine expressed his feelings about the world’s scenario at that time and the inspiration for the song:
There’s a lot happening in the world right now. We hope to create something special with other great musicians that moves people and can make them understand they CAN do something positive to make their lives and the world better. […] The inspiration for the song comes from Points of Light Institute, the largest enabler of voluntary action in the nation, an organization that inspires, equips and mobilizes people to take action that changes the world.
Although, the record never saw the light of day. A year later, Mariah said on Twitter the song was “in a holding pattern for a very special reason.. to be revealed at a later date.”
Now, this re-recorded version features a prominent sample of Lauryn Hill’s (never mentioned in the original demo) bridge in the Fugees’ song Killing Me Softly and it was released to promote Mariah’s new album The Rarities, which will be comprised of unreleased songs throughout her career.
🎵Save The Day Lyrics🎵
[Intro: Mariah Carey]
We're all in this together
You're my only hope
And it's too divided, too deep to understand
But if we don't do it, tell me, who will?
Oh, we always say these words that don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
The fear still holding us down
One day, will we look up?
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
You got a right to your own opinion
But when it comes to the world we live in
Isn't it the time that we start rebuilding
All of the things that makes me crumble
We all tend to forget that
We all ceasе to exist if
We all live for oursеlves
If nobody bothers to find a solution
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
We're all in this together
You're my only hope (Only hope)
And it's too divided, too deep to understand
But if we don't do it, tell me, who will? Yeah
Always say these words that don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
The fear still holding us back
One day, will we look up?
It's up to us
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh
(To save the day, to save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't (Come on, come on)
(Will we?) We won't ever learn to save the day
(Ever learn, no)
[Bridge: Mariah Carey & Lauryn Hill]
La-la-la, la, la-la, la
Woah, la
Woah, la (Ah, ah, ah)
La
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh (To save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't (And she won't)
We won't ever learn to save the day, woah, oh
(We're gonna have to learn to save the day)
If he won't, and she won't, and they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day (To save the day)
[Outro: Mariah Carey]
We gon' learn, we gon' learn
Said we gotta learn
