Mariah Carey pens song for Obama

DHAKA: Singer Mariah Carey has penned a new inspirational song in honour of US President Barack Obama in the run up of his re-election campaign.

The R&B superstar debuted the ballad, titled ‘Bring It on Home’, as she performed at a special fundraiser for the Democrat at the Plaza Hotel, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Carey, who also backed Obama in the 2008 election, took to Twitter after the bash and wrote, ‘Just finished performing Hero, We Belong Together and BRING IT ON HOME – a song I wrote especially for the event’.

The Plaza Hotel party took place hours after Obama mingled with guests at actress Sarah Jessica Parker’s house for another political fundraiser, reports IHT.
