Mariah Carey holds a sunflower in honor of her father.

Mariah Carey’s new video for “#Beautiful” was greeted with mixed reviews by fans so perhaps an explanation of the productions concept will sway opinions in her favour. To provide insight into the meaning of the colourful scenes, the diva has shared special behind the scenes footage.

Remember that Speedster in which Miguel posed in the #Beautiful” video? Well, the vehicle belonged to Carey’s late father, who spent many years trying to retore it before his death. Although many of us overlooked the car while Carey pranced and twirled, it signified a powerful moment for her.
