"Thirsty" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her fourteenth studio album, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse. It was co-written by Carey in collaboration with Hit-Boy, Denesia Andrews and MaryAnn Tatum. Carey and Hit-Boy also produced it, with co-production from Rey Reel. The alternate version of "Thirsty", featuring one rap verse from American rapper Rich Homie Quan, received its radio premiere on Power 105.1 on May 13, 2014, a day before the album version featuring just Carey was made available to stream. It has been described as a "club-friendly" R&B song influenced by hip hop, which makes use of a minimal synth beat.
The song was met with a mixed reaction from music critics; some were complimentary of her decision to work with Hit-Boy and Rich Homie Quan, while others felt that Carey was trying too hard to appeal to a mass audience by doing so. Electro pop band Purple Crush also claimed that Carey used the hook from their 2013 song of the same name. Following the release of the album, "Thirsty" debuted on the South Korean International Gaon Single Chart at number 78 due to strong digital download sales. The song was included on Carey's 2014 tour, The Elusive Chanteuse Show.
