"Vision of Love" peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart, U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart and U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart in the Summer of 1990.
"Vision of Love" is set in common time and in the key of C major. Mariah Carey's vocal range spans from the low-note of E♭ 3 to the high whistle note of C 7. The song's lyrics and melody were written and composed by Carey, with Margulies, Miller, Klyce and Rip on the instrumentals.
"Vision of Love" is the debut single by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. Written by Carey and Ben Margulies, "Vision of Love" was released as the lead single from Carey's self-titled debut album on May 15, 1990. After being featured on Carey's demo tape for Columbia, the song was re-recorded and produced by Rhett Lawrence and Narada Michael Walden. "Vision of Love" features a slow-dance theme tempo and backing vocals sung by Carey herself, and introduces her usage of the whistle register. Lyrically, the song describes both a past and present relationship with a lover: Carey describes the "vision of love" she dreamed of, as well as the present love she feels for him.
