Glitter is the soundtrack to the 2001 film of the same title and the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. With Afanasieff's assistance and the addition of a few contemporary producers, she was able to make a subtle transition into the R&B market. On Daydream, Carey collaborated with Jermaine Dupri, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and R&B group Boyz II Men. During the album's production, Carey endured many creative differences with her label and then-husband Tommy Mottola. Carey considered the album to be the beginning of her musical and vocal transition, a change that became more evident in her sixth studio album Butterfly (1997). With Daydream, Carey took more control over the musical direction as well as the album's composition. Throughout the project, Carey collaborated with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she wrote and produced most of her previous albums. The follow-up to her internationally successful studio album Music Box (1993), and the holiday album Merry Christmas (1994), Daydream differed from her previous efforts by leaning increasingly towards hip hop and urban music.
