Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on September 16, 1997, by Columbia Records. The album contained both hip hop and urban adult contemporary sounds, as well as some softer and more contemporary melodies. Throughout the project, Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she had written and produced most of the material from her previous albums.

Five singles were released from the album; two worldwide commercial releases, and three limited promotional singles. “Honey”, the record’s lead single, topped the charts in the US and Canada and reached the top five in New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom. The album’s fifth single, “My All”, became a top ten hit throughout Europe and topped the charts in the US. To promote Butterfly, Carey embarked on the Butterfly World Tour, which visited Australia, Japan and Taiwan, with one show in the United States. Butterfly was nominated for three Grammy Awards at the 40th annual ceremony.
