Not sure how it all works but what if you're less involved in the songwriting process and songwriters wrote you a song? The songwriter for Sweet Dreams recently said Beyonce came in and recorded the song in 15 minutes. Not saying it's standard because Beyonce was apparently in a rush but does that make a difference? Mariah writes and coproduces all her own songs and probably also needs more time to record her vocals nowadays.
Let's not forget that Mariah is a MEGA perfectionist when it comes to whole song writing/producing/recording process.
