Nick Cannon has confessed to want his ex-wife Mariah Carey back in his new single 'Alone', which he dropped yesterday for Valentines Day.

"I say I’m cool when I know I miss it/ I’d trade it all for the case/ If I could have you back/If I could go back to where we started at" he sings on the emotional new track. "As much as I want you back/It’s probably better where you at".

The track, which is an ode to his ex-wife, comes from his upcoming R&B mixtape, 'Raw N B The Explicit Tape'. "This is the gospel of my broken soul, this is as raw as it gets" he says in the statement about the new project.

Sampling the song 'Alone In Love' from Mariah's 1990 self-titled debut album 'Mariah Carey', Nick admits that he still has feelings for his ex-wife. The single arrives just weeks after he confirmed that he is expecting a baby with Instagram model Bre Tiesi.

Back in December, Nick lost his five-month-old son Zen who passed away from a brain tumour. Addressing his passing with the audience on an episode of his show 'The Nick Cannon Show', he said:

"He had this interesting breathing and by the time he was 2 months, I noticed he had this nice-sized head too — a Cannon head. We didn’t think anything of it. But I wanted to take him to the doctor for his sinus and breathing. We thought it would be routine".

A MESSAGE FROM NICK

"Immediately we had to have surgery, brain surgery, and we put a shunt in his head, and we were hoping for the best" the America's Got Talent host continued.

"We were faithful and hopeful at that time, and we carried on. He was still playing with his brothers and sisters, and I just took the opportunity to embrace every moment".

Nick currently shares children with Mariah Carey, who he has twins with named Moroccan and Monroe, another set of twins with Abby De La Rosa, a beautiful girl named Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell and a 4-year-old named Golden.
