| rdfs:comment | - One Sweet Day is a Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men song.
- The single was released on November 14, 1995. The song was written by Mariah, Walter Afansieff (who also produced the song), Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris & Michael McCary (the members of Boyz II Men). The song is about losing a loved one, and eventually seeing them once again in heaven one day and how the protagonist took their presence for granted & misses them. Both Mariah and Boyz II Men wrote the song about specific people in their lives to include sufferers of the AIDS epidemic that were so globally prevalent at the time.
- Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say. Now it's too late to hold you. ' Cause you've flown away, so far away. Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile. Feelin' and knowing you hear me. It keeps me alive. Alive! And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven, Like so many friends we've lost along the way, And I know eventually we'll be together. One sweet day. Picture a little scene from Heaven. Darling, I never showed you. Assumed you'd always be there. I took your presence for granted. But I always cared And I miss the love we shared. Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Both Mariah and Boyz II Men wrote the song about specific people in their lives to include sufferers of the AIDS epidemic that were so globally prevalent at the time. The song was positively reviewed by music critics, many of whom complimented its lyrical content and vocals, as well as calling it a standout track from "Daydream." The song experienced success in many countries around the world, especially in the United States. It spent 16 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and is the longest running number one song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. It also achieved strong success around the world, topping the charts in Canada and New Zealand, and reaching the top-ten in Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Additionally, "One Sweet Day" was ranked first in Rolling Stone's reader's poll for the Best Collaboration of All Time. Mariah performed "One Sweet Day" live on several television and award show appearances around the world. On February 26, 1996, she performed it alongside Boyz II Men at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. Additionally, the song was performed at Princess Diana's memorial service in September of 1997. The song was part of the set-lists on several of Mariah's succeeding tours, making its debut during the album's accompanying set of concerts such as the Daydream World Tour and on her compliation albums: "Number 1's, "Greatest Hits" and "The Ballads." The music video for "One Sweet Day" was filmed in early 1996 and features snippets of Mariah and Boyz II Men in and around the studio & recording the song. Mariah explained that due to her and Boyz II Men's busy schedules, they feared that there wouldn't be enough time to record a proper video. For this reason while they wrote and recorded the song, they used video crew footage bits of the recording process for the music video. Mariah later said that she was content a real music video was never filmed, fearing that no music video could truly capture the song's strong lyrical message. Critics felt the video choice was wise and agreed that the simple concept paid homage to the song's selfless message.
