The multi-award-winning singer introduced the single with excitement, calling the project a blessing. After the song played on air, Jackson praised the rich harmonies and classic vocal blends that gave the track a nostalgic, church-inspired feel. Carey agreed, sharing that working alongside The Clark Sisters was a dream come true.
According to Carey, the collaboration felt almost surreal. She described being in awe throughout the process and grateful that the opportunity came together so naturally. Despite their legendary status, Carey noted how warm and genuine the Clark Sisters were during recording, which made the experience even more meaningful.
The conversation also touched on Carey’s long-standing relationship with inspirational music.

Carey explained that faith-based music has always been a part of her artistic expression and personal life, even while balancing mainstream projects.
Carey shared that the idea for “Jesus, I Do” came together while she was living in Atlanta and working closely with her band and musical director, Daniel Moore. During those sessions, the team explored different sounds and creative directions. Moore later suggested involving The Clark Sisters in a song they were developing, and Carey immediately agreed. Once everyone came together, the group collaborated on writing and shaping the track.
