Titled 'Me I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse', the album will arrive on May 27.
Carey, 44, said that the album took its title from a "personal possession of mine that's part of an entity that I've had almost all my life", said the Hollywood Reporter.
"Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title. Come on, I was only three and a half," Carey said.
The singer also said that the second half of the album's title, The Elusive Chanteuse, is a nickname that she has adopted recently, following other personas and nicknames like Mimi and MC.
