“Type Dangerous” marks Mariah Carey’s first major release since her 2018 album Caution, ushering in what appears to be a brand-new musical era for the pop icon. Before the single’s release, the pop legend shared a teaser that cleverly transitions from her 2005 anthem “It’s Like That” to a cryptic audio file, sparking widespread speculation that this isn’t just a standalone single—but the opening chapter of her next album cycle.
Though no official album has been announced, fans are already putting the pieces together. The biggest clue? A license plate reading “MC16” shown in the teaser—widely interpreted as confirmation that “Type Dangerous” is the lead single from her long-anticipated 16th studio album.
