In the clip, Carey sports a pink bodysuit with a sheer skirt and matching chunky heels as sings the 1995 hit and walks slowly across the stage, stopping to interact with dancers — who are performing with a bit more energy than she is.

It’s unclear if the Grammy winner is struggling to keep up with the rest of the stage production or simply ultra-focused on her vocal performance, as she didn’t miss any lyrics in the song and kept a smile on her face throughout.

Reps for Carey did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
