Mariah wrote this song about her former boyfriend, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter who’s favorite song is "Anytime You Need A Friend". Jeter played the same position on the same team while wearing the same number as Mariah’s idol, Marilyn Monroe’s ex-husband Joe DiMaggio. Jeter has inspired some of Mariah’s best songs.
