Butterfly is the seventh album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released in the United States by Columbia Records in 1997 (see 1997 in music). It was Carey's first album to be released following the ending of her marriage to Sony Music executive Tommy Mottola. The album's title refers to emerging from a restricting coccoon, and it includes contributions from producers such as The Trackmasters, Puff Daddy and Stevie J. Rolling Stone described Butterfly as "a transitional album" for Carey, who placed herself firmly in the "milieu of hip-hop inflected R&B", while Billboard called it "a milestone record for one of the most successful and visible artist of the nineties".
