 The album 's lead single , " Touch My Body " , was written and produced by Carey , Tricky Stewart and Terius " The Dream " Nash . The song 's hook is built around a piano melody and " circular keyboard line " , and features " a stuttering mid @-@ tempo beat that 's accented by finger snaps and electronic synthesizers " as its instrumentation . Lyrically , the song describes the protagonist revealing several bedroom fantasies in which she would like to engage in , asking her lover playfully to " touch her body " . According to Ben Ratliff from The New York Times , it 's a " questionably sexy striptease : a goofy @-@ sleazy tryst vignette " , with Carey singing " If there 's a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on YouTube .
