"Up Out My Face" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey from her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2009). Written and produced by Carey, Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, it is a song which includes a marching band in its instrumentation. The lyrics for the song have been speculated to be directed at American rapper Eminem, whom Carey has a longstanding feud with since the early 2000's after his claims that they were in a relationship.
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics for its humorous lyrics and the addition of rapper Nicki Minaj on the remix. Carey released Minaj's version as a single in January 2010 for a proposed remix album titled Angels Advocate, which was ultimately shelved. A music video was released nevertheless and was directed by Nick Cannon, Carey's then husband, which also received positive reviews.
