"Underneath the Stars" is a song written and produced by American singer Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff for Carey's sixth album, '' Daydream ''. The protagonist of this Ballad recalls "drifting away" as she explored young love "underneath the stars", and Carey has been quoted as saying this was her favorite track on the album. It was released as the album's sixth and final Single in 1996 (see 1996 In Music ).

Because Sony executives wanted to maintain Carey's record of hit singles and believed "Underneath the Stars" was not good enough to be a single, it was only given a promotional radio release in the U.S. It received sufficient airplay to appear on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, peaking at number sixty-nine.

No Video for the single was released, but Carey did announce to her ''Daydream Tour'' audience in Rotterdam, Holland that her performance of the song that evening would be filmed for the music video. The Trackmasters commissioned a Remix of the song (known as "The Drifting Remix"), and Carey re-recorded her vocals to accompany a darker and more urban beat.
