Who co-produced "Obsessed" with Mariah Carey and The-Dream?

Tricky Stewart co-produced “Obsessed” with Mariah Carey and The-Dream. The 2009 song was written and produced by Carey, Stewart, and The-Dream, whose real name is Terius Nash.

“Obsessed” became the lead single from Carey’s twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Its production blends contemporary R&B and hip-hop, using a heavy bass line, handclaps, a distorted vocal hook, and processed vocals.

The song attracted major attention because listeners and critics interpreted its lyrics as a response to Eminem’s claims about a past relationship with Carey. Eminem later answered with “The Warning,” although “Obsessed” never names him directly.

A common mix-up is confusing Tricky Stewart with Scott Storch or Rodney Jerkins, other prominent producers associated with major pop and R&B records. Stewart is also known for co-producing hits such as Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” with The-Dream.
