I still love it -- you know what I think makes it so remarkable is it's dreary tone that's so unlike most of her catalog. Most of her songs either have a vocal that's built to be uplifting, despite the sad words or are fairly sunny in terms of production and vocals. It reminds me of the beaches (not like the one in her video haha) here in the winter -- cloudy, dark, foggy, cold, raining softly, but constantly.
This song and "Betcha Gon Know" both tread pretty dark places for a Mariah Carey song, as both songs play on the revenge theme a bit. Usually it's more like "you'll be sorry you let me go because you'll miss me" with her portrayed as taking the higher ground, but both of these songs have a mean-spiritedness that's not jokey and more serious that is fun to hear from her.
