Grammy Award-winning singer Mariah Carey has teamed up with Empire State Realty Trust and iHeartMedia to take part in the annual Empire State Building holiday music-to-light switch on show.

Carey's hit song All I Want For Christmas Is You will be used during the switch on, premiering on December 19 and running through to Christmas Day. Carey commented 'I can see the Empire State Building from my apartment, and it is one of my favourite buildings in the world. To have its iconic lights synced to my song is the perfect gift this holiday season'.
