| Song |
"100%" is a song performed by R&B singer Mariah Carey originally recorded as the lead soundtrack single from motion picture Precious but then reassigned to the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack for the 2010 Winter Olympics.[2] The song was also due to feature on Carey's now cancelled thirteenth studio/second remix album, Angels Advocate though it was never tipped as a single from the latter.[3]
The piano-driven contemporary R&B ballad is themed around reaching your potential with lyrics like "don't stop till you make the finish". Written by Carey, Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri and produced by the latter two the song was released as a special promo single to raise money for Team USA. It was released exclusively to U.S. iTunes and AT&T wireless devices on February 9, 2010.[4]
Background
The song was originally the theme song for the movie Precious of which Carey also stars in. However, it was instead replaced by the song "I Can See in Color" by Mary J. Blige.
When Carey was performing at a date on the Canadian leg of her Angels Advocate Tour at the Air Canada Centre she announced the song would be used for this years Winter Olympic games.
Carey said of the opportunity for the song to be part of the Olympics.[2]
"I am honored to be a part of this effort to support Team USA through this soundtrack. The Olympic Winter Games create once-in-a-lifetime moments for the entire world to see. It is truly amazing to watch these first-rate athletes compete and give everything they have to reach new levels of achievement. Their actions provide hope and inspiration for everyone. As artists, we strive to encourage others through our music."
All proceeds from the purchase of songs from the soundtrack, participating ringtones and answer tones from February 12, 2010 through March 1, 2010 will be donated to Team USA.[2]
Music video
On February 9, 2010, Mariah Carey filmed the music video for her song 100% during the Toronto show of her Angels Advocate Tour. She asked the audience if they could stay and help her film the video.
