Song: "Side Effects"

Bust-up: Mariah Carey’s breakup song is rumored to be about ex-husband Tommy Mottola.

What happened: Carey married music mogul Mottola in 1993. After the couple split, Carey told Parade that Mottola had been unable to handle her success. “I was treated almost like a prisoner. Everybody around me was deathly afraid of him. I became so scared. I was like an obsession and a possession.”

Telling lyric: Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy / Whether he was smothering every last part of me / So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave
