Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
They told me get em, I got em,
I swear this word to my father
And the only way to make it to the top
If you go and get it from the bottom
And I ain’t never asked for no hand outs
You won’t carry me, no Mariah
These haters love when I was dead broke
But they ain’t made at me,
I’m on fire and I’m gon’ burn
And I ain’t gon’ learn,
I remember they said that it ain’t my turn
But it ain’t confirmed, then the tables turned
Just look at me now, try to hold me down
But I ain’t gon’ stop, cause I’m gon’ climb
To the mountain top,
to the mountain top, now let go
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Path that I choose flashing camera’s as I pose
Throwing big money as she dances on the pole
Lime green Lamborghini dances in the road
License still suspended, no I never stop for tolls
Born slick talker, twice a week shopper
Blow a hundred wreck she don’t know a footlocker
Red bottom boss house big as Baltimore
With a blonde bombshell tryin to bomb with your boy
In the James Bond Beamer chrome wheel two seater
Smoking like Pimp C, spoken like a trill nia
On a cloudy day baby I can make it rain
Rubber band, 50 grand bet it brighten up your day
Came from humble beginnings
Then was Hummers and Benzes
Now it’s hundred and millions this is only the beginning
A don, a diva, the bomb achiever
The one believer, the game gets deeper
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Can’t fall down now, so even when clouds surround you
And everyone seems to doubt you
Baby still know who you are
So you gotta keep on climbing
In spite of the chains that bind you
You can see the mountain top
It’s not too far
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the rope
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
(get em, get em, get em)
Stay on your toes get off the ropes
(stay on your toes)
Don’t let em ever count you out
(no, no, no, no)
Realize all things are possible
(get em, get em, get em, get em go)
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
歌曲評價
來自Billboard的報導：距離上一張非聖誕專輯"Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel"的發行已經三年，今天Mariah Carey帶著單曲"Triumphant (Get 'Em)" featuring Rick Ross & Meek Mill重新回到歌迷視野。 “和Ross以及Meek的合作真是難以置信，”Mariah Carey在電話發布會中告訴媒體說，“顯然Ross是一位明星，大家都喜歡他。我喜歡他聲音中的那種調調。我想他和我聲音的碰撞會帶來一些特別的東西。我一直都喜歡與人合作，這樣會人們覺得有不同。” “Meek增加了興奮度，為這首歌增加了少有的新意。”Mariah繼續道。 "Triumphant"，Randy Jackson插話說這首歌是“鼓舞人心”的，這是Mariah第14張錄音室專輯的首支單曲。在電話發布會中，這位歌手也提到了還未定名的新專輯。“我和許多我喜歡的藝人有合作，但更重要的是，我現在不想透露任何信息，”她說，“我希望這首歌能收到好評。我只想忠於我自己和我所愛的音樂，並讓歌迷開心。” Mariah同樣談及了她對當前R&B和主流音樂互相滲透的感受，她說：“如果我們能回到那種沒有被影響的R&B時代，將是不可思議的。我很難過許多非常有才華的R&B藝術家沒有得到他們應得的機會。”
來自MTV News的報導：情緒低落，並渴望找到鼓勵嗎？沒有什麼比聆聽Mariah Carey的最新單曲"Triumphant (Get 'Em)" featuring Rick Ross and Meek Mill更合適的了，這位天后在8月2日發布了這支作品。
這首中板抒情曲將R&B節奏和鋼琴伴奏融合在一起，"Triumphant"表達了一種從艱難中走出來的情景。“奔向星空，”Carey唱到，“做自己，讓所有人為你臣服！”
這首歌以Mill的說唱開場，其歌詞迅速挑明了這首歌的主題。“唯一一條通往頂端的路，就是你從谷底開始走下去……我記得他們說過，還沒有輪到我，但這並沒有被證實，一切都會轉向，”Mill說唱道，“只要看著我，你們想要阻止我，但我絕不會停止。因為我要爬上峰頂。”
“Meek增加了興奮度，為這首歌增加了少有的新意，”Carey在電話記者會上說道，“和Ross以及Meek的合作真是難以置信，顯然Ross是一位明星，大家都喜歡他。我是他音樂的冬粉。我真的，真的很想和他合作。我喜歡他聲音中的那種調調。我想他和我聲音的碰撞會帶來一些特別的東西。我一直都喜歡與人合作，這樣會人們覺得有不同。”
憑藉她標誌性的高音，Carey已經位居高位，而這首歌的製作團隊更包含兩位值得信賴的傳奇音樂人，Jermaine Dupri和Bryan-Michael Cox與Mariah共同創作並製作了這首歌曲。Cox告訴MTV News說對Carey而言，這是一首非常私人的作品。
“這首歌非常鼓舞人心。非常貼近她的心，我想她的歌迷真的一定會被這首歌打動。” Cox告訴MTV News道，“我期待這首歌能成為一首成功的作品。我也期待這會成為她最成功的專輯之一。”
Hot. That’s about the best way we can describe not the weather, but Mariah Carey‘s brand-new single ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em),’ featuring Maybach Music Group’s Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Mariah goes Maybach and the result is nothing short of stellar.
In a landscape that is dominated by uptempo, synthy tracks loaded with overly processed vocals, it left us wondering exactly where Carey’s vocal acrobatics could or would fit in in 2012. She uses her best asset — that gorgeous voice — to her benefit, but thankfully, she’s not overdoing it and shattering glass with her mega octaves. There is a time and place for that, but it’s not in the space of this particular song. Instead, Carey exercises taut control and that’s why the song is pretty incredible.
Carey’s honeyed voice is perfectly matched by Ricky Rozay’s lower rumble and Meek Mill’s bold, energetic delivery. Ultimately, it’s a classic Mariah Carey track, lacing potent R&B beats and vocal patterns with an urban street edge.
The disparity of the tones of the voices on the song give it rich, unpredictable texture. It’s layered, with Mariah’s sweet harmonies living under and over the raps of Ross and Mill. Carey holds her own with the boys on the jam. It’s not uptempo; it’s actually much more mid-tempo and chillaxed. It’s classic Carey without sounding dated. She stays modernized with Maybach.
Lyrically, the song is uplifting and positive. When she sings “Keep on living” in the chorus, it’s a simple but inspirational phrase that is also fun to sing along to.
Late summer has found its low ridin’ jam with ‘Triumphant.’
popcrush樂評的全文。很高的評價
Popcrush：四顆星||在如今快節奏、合成器式歌曲和過度修飾的人聲主宰樂壇，人們總擔心Vocal系Mariah會不會Flop？新單曲，Mariah很好地利用了她最大的優點，美妙的嗓音，但利用得恰到好處，五個八度殺手鐧沒有出現這首歌里。如此一來，這首歌就非常好聽了。
Billboard撰文宣傳新單發行。Mariah稱，與Ross和Mill的合作是驚人的，Ross和她聲線上反差產生了一種奇特的化學反應。新專輯錄製會與很多喜歡的藝人合作，但是不會跟隨某種的潮流。談到現在的R&B歌曲，Mariah說如果把R&B歌曲從如今“跨界”潮流中拉回來，還原本色，將是非常棒的
Mariah Carey might be the most reactionary pop star of all time. Her creative decisions are seemly driven not by an artistic muse, but by a desire to maintain commercial viability. It's likely the result of being so intimately involved with her expectedly money-minded record-label handlers early in her career, when she was amassing gold and breaking records like Michael Phelps. Mariah has always been obsessed with the past (specifically, recreating it), sometimes resulting in sublime nostalgia (as on "The Roof"), but more often coming off as pathologically regressive (embodied by her perpetuation of the male fantasy of woman-as-little-girl, which neutralizes whatever command it might seem like she has over her own sexual image). If you thought motherhood might change Mimi's tune, or at least push her in a new direction, her new single's artwork, previewed by the singer a few days ago, quickly put those hopes to rest: Scantily clad in a flesh-colored, peek-a-boo "dress," Mariah is airbrushed into a literal cartoon version of herself…circa 1997, of course.
So, it should come as no surprise that Mariah would follow-up 2009's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which was tellingly both rapper-free and a commercial disappointment, with "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," a dated hip-hop track produced by Jermaine Dupri in the same manner a sick dog produces a bowel movement. It's easily the worst lead single (possibly the worst single, period) of her two-decade-plus career. JD's beyond-tired hype-man routine and guest raps by Rick Ross and newcomer Meek Mill dominate the first half of the song, with Mariah literally serving as a hook girl on a track that sorely lacks a strong hook. She finally unleashes a breathy verse of her own about two-thirds of the way through—something about breaking free of chains, seeing mountaintops, reaching for stars, and other brainless platitudes that ostensibly lead to, according to Ross, throwing money at strippers and running highway tolls. It's not just uninspiring, it's downright demoralizing.
來自slant magazine的評價
Uh oh, Mariah
Carey — the Internet has weighed in on your new cleverly-timed single “Triumphant
(Get ‘Em)”, and the verdict, for the most part, is not good. Sure, reviewers
were eager for the return of the singer following the three-year gap since her
last studio album and this new tune. But the fact that Mimi plays third fiddle
to her guest rappers Rick
Ross and Meek
Mill is not sitting well with those yearning to hear more of the
whistle-register songbird herself.
Head below for our roundup of what the critics had to say about Carey’s
latest jam.
:: The Huffington Post states the case for why
Mimi’s new single should be Michael Phelps’ Olympics theme song: “Phelps is the
most decorated Olympian of all time with 20 medals — 16 of them gold — while
Carey has had 18 No. 1 singles and has sold more than 200 million records
worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists ever.”
:: HitFix notes, “Carey softly and sweetly tackles her
inexplicably short bridge. But, for fans, you’ll get your infamous high note
runs as she battles an army of clicks and thumps from the drum machine.”
:: Chart Rigger adds, “In other words, Carey is a
guest on her own song, reduced to choral duties and one verse at the end of the
thing.”
:: The Prophet Blog takes the criticism a step further:
“‘Triumphant’ is a low budget slice of feature-heavy hip-hop with syrupy
inspirational lyrics that sound like they were purposely penned just to get the
song played in some Olympics commercials. The beat, courtesy of the outdated duo
of Jermaine Dupri and B-Cox, wouldn’t even make it onto a Ciara album, sounding
more like something you’d find on a a washed-up rapper’s mixtape.”

創作靈感
Carey說在好友Whitney Houston去世的那段時間，她的丈夫Nick Cannon也遭遇了健康問題。
“那時發生了太多的事情”，她說道。
“那是一段可怕的日子……我甚至不能表達發生了什麼事，但我不得不通過音樂來表達另一面，也是在鼓勵我自己。”
除了鼓勵自己，她也希望這首歌能夠鼓勵他人。“我唱到，‘保持勝利，繼續生活’。這是我希望人們聽到的一句話——我希望那些沒有力量的人們能從中獲取動力……這也是我為什麼想要推出這首歌的原因，因為它對我意義重大。我也希望以一種鼓勵的方式將這首歌唱給我的孩子聽。”
正如Carey所希望的那樣，她的許多歌迷從這首歌中獲取力量，並改變了他們的生活。
