"Obsessed" é uma canção da artista musical estadunidense Mariah Carey, contida em seu décimo segundo álbum de estúdio Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2009). Foi composta e produzida pela própria com o auxílio Terius Nash e Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. O tema foi enviado às estações de rádio estadunidenses em 16 de junho de 2009, através da Island Records, sendo posteriormente comercializado em formato físico e digital. Musicalmente derivada do R&B e do hip hop, possui uma linha de baixo com diversas batidas. Além disso, também possui palmas, enquanto a voz de Carey é processada com o Autotune.

I was like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?"

So oh oh oh oh

So oh oh oh oh

So oh oh oh oh

All up in the blogs

Saying we met at the bar

When I don't even know who you are

Saying we up in your house

Saying I'm up in your car

But you in LA and I'm out at Jermaine's.

I'm up in the A

You so so lame

and no one here even mentions your name

It must be the weed. It must be the E

Cause you be popping hood

You get it popping, Oh

Why you're so obsessed with me

(Boy I wanna know)

Lying that you're sexing me

(when everybody knows)

 It's clear that you're upset with me

Finally found a girl

that you couldn't impress

Last man on the earth

still couldn't hit this

You're delusional, you're delusional

Boy you're losing your mind

It's confusing yo, you're confused you know

Why you're wasting your time

Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex

Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex

oh oh oh

Boy why you're so obsessed with me?

You on your job

You hating hard

Ain't gon' feed you

I'm gonna let you starve

Gasping for air

I'm ventilation

You out of breath

Hope you ain't waiting

Telling the world how much you miss me

But we never were

So why you're trippin'

You a mom and pop

I'm a corporation

I'm the press conference

and you a conversation

Why you're so obsessed with me

(Boy I wanna know)

Lying that you're sexing me

(when everybody knows)

It's clear that you're upset with me

Finally found a girl

that you couldn't impress

Last man on the earth

still couldn't hit this

You're delusional, you're delusional

Boy you're losing your mind

It's confusing yo, you're confused you know

Why you're wasting your time

Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex

Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex

oh oh oh

Boy why you're so obsessed with me?

Why you're so obsessed with me

Lying that you're sexing me

It's clear that you're upset with me

Finally found a girl

that you couldn't impress

Last man on the earth

still couldn't hit this

You're delusional, you're delusional

Boy you're losing your mind

It's confusing yo, you're confused you know

Why you're wasting your time

Got you all fired up with y our napoleon complex

Seeing right through you

like you're bathing in windex

Boy why you're so obsessed with me?
