The title track was also released as a single. 1983: Planet P Project Carey was signed to Geffen Records for his third solo album (later to be released as Some Tough City), but he had a great deal of music written that didn't fit the style of that album. He was able to sign a second record deal with Geffen to record and release that material under the Planet P Project pseudonym. He released his first album under the name Planet P Project in 1983, called Planet P Project (originally titled Planet P). Planet P Project received modest reviews (e.g., ref and). The album, however, contained the more highly acclaimed song "Why Me", which was released as Planet P Project's first popular single, reaching #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #4 in the magazine's Top Rock Tracks chart. According to Carey, the video for "Why Me" made a "slight impact on early MTV." Tom Demalon, writing for MTV, was less modest: With heavy exposure of the accompanying video on MTV, the single "Why Me?" clicked at album rock outlets, climbing into the Top Ten while it also managed to crossover over onto the pop charts. "Why Me" was described in Billboard by Cincinnati's WEBN-FM program director, Denton Marr, as "unusual, eclectic, and very entertaining." The song was one of 30 songs to be included in the 1995 MTV compilation album MTV Class of 1983. 1984: Pink World In 1983 and 1984, Carey recorded his third solo album, Some Tough City, and his second Planet P Project album, Pink World. A dispute with the label arose when, according to Carey, Geffen's representative was not satisfied with the lyrics to "A Fine, Fine Day" and "The First Day of Summer", both of which would later be released as singles, from the album Some Tough City, and Carey refused to rewrite them. The Pink World album was recorded with minimal input from Geffen, and the finished product was not well received by the label. Carey had this to say about the response from Geffen: I delivered Pink World [to Geffen], and the shit REALLY hit the fan. Some of the comments that filtered back to me were "unreleasable" and "this kid's crazy." And some bad ones, too. Long story short, I got traded like a baseball player to MCA Records, which went ahead and released both of these records. In
