Mariah Carey’s “Boy (I Need You),” featuring Cam’ron, is a standout track from her 2002 album *Charmbracelet*. Released as the album’s second single on November 26, 2002, the song is a reimagining of Cam’ron’s hit “Oh Boy,” blending Carey’s signature vocals with hip-hop elements. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, showcases a vibrant, anime-inspired aesthetic, with scenes shot in Tokyo’s Shibuya district and Los Angeles. Carey’s alter ego, Bianca, makes an appearance, adding a playful twist to the narrative. Despite its innovative approach, the single had modest chart success, peaking at number 68 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
