The superstar broke up from the Australian billionaire in October and Mariah has now spoken candidly about their failed engagement, admitting it has inspired her to write new songs.

Fans of the R ‘n’ B and pop legend will be delighted with her new musical offering. Mariah told the latest episode of her reality TV show ‘Mariah’s World’: “Ever since the tour wrapped I took some time just to process my feelings and I started writing a song to express what I’ve been going through.

“And if you’re not getting the love that you need from someone that you’re supposed to be in a real relationship with, then why remain in that situation?”

The song features the lyrics: “Cause when you love someone, you just don’t treat them bad, you messed up all we had. Probably think I’m coming back, but I don’t, I don’t.”

The recording comes shortly after Mariah admitted she finds songwriting to be “very healing”.

The chart-topping star – who is currently dating back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka – said she relishes being in the studio as it helps her to overcome her real-life problems.

She said: “I need to be in the studio. I feel like a different person when I’m not in the studio.

“Performing is a whole different thing, but being in the studio is creating and that’s what I love to do best. Songwriting is very healing for me. The studio and the experience of creating new music, it feels so much more like home to me than anywhere else.”
