Mariah Carey has previously hyped that she wrote her hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on her Casio keyboard as a child — but her former co-producer and co-writer claims otherwise.Walter Afanasieff dropped the holiday bombshell during thepodcast, in which he revealed how he and Carey, 52, co-created the song shortly after collaborating on her 1993 album “Music Box.”
“When she started to hint at the fact that, ‘Oh, I wrote that song when I was a little girl!’ But why weren’t you saying that for 12 or 13 or 15 years prior to that? So it just sort of developed in her mind,” he said.“I am proud of this song that I wrote basically as a kid on my little Casio keyboard,” she said at the time.
“She doesn’t play anything, she doesn’t play keyboard or piano. She doesn’t understand music, she doesn’t know chord changes and music theory or anything like that. She doesn’t know a diminished chord from a minor seventh chord to a major seventh chord,” Afanasieff claimed.“All I Want For Christmas Is You” was released in 1994 and continues to make its way to the top of the charts every holiday season.
“We were holed up in this beautiful home that they were renting, and it was the summertime and there was a piano. So the writing of ‘All I Want For Christmas’ is, I started playing a boogie-woogie, kind of a rock,” he said while making the sound of the baseline.
