Migrate (song)

[1][3] It documents Carey's whereabouts and where she migrates from and to: "from the car to the club to the bar to the VIP lounge to the after-party to the hotel" and contains a reference to Patrón, a brand of Mexican tequila.

[1] Nick Levine of Digital Spy thought that Carey sounded her "most diva-like" on the song, with the references to champagne being "compliments of the club" while the DJ plays her "jam".

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic thought that the use of Auto-Tune on Carey's vocals served a "dual purpose", and explained that while it "camouflages her slightly diminishing range" it also made her sound "modern".

[1] Writing for The Wichita Eagle, Mary Moore's review on the song was positive, calling it as "an irresistible hip-hop groove that works".

[7] Sawdey concluded by writing that despite the added production from Danja and guest vocals by T-Pain, "it serves as a painfully dull opener".

[13][14] Hosted by Jonah Hill, Carey substituted for Janet Jackson, who was scheduled to perform but had caught the flu and was unable sing.
