Knowing that the album was a contractual matter, and with her ex-husband Tommy Mottola fired from Sony/Columbia, Carey was able to have greater input into the project and consequently gave some interviews in support of the album. Like Carey's other partially-authorized compilation album, Greatest Hits (2001), The Remixes was given limited promotion. All three of Carey's record labels - Columbia Records, Virgin Records, and Island Def Jam Records - agreed to license tracks for the album, while "I Know What You Want" was licensed from J Records. Five of the tracks on disc two - " Breakdown" (1997), " Sweetheart" (1998), " Crybaby" (2000), "Miss You", and "I Know What You Want" - are not remixes at all. It also includes two previously unreleased tracks: the "So So Def remix" of " The One", an aborted single from Carey's Charmbracelet (2002) album and " Miss You" featuring Jadakiss (which was originally recorded for Charmbracelet). The album features Carey's duet with Busta Rhymes, " I Know What You Want" (2003), originally recorded for Rhymes' album It Ain't Safe No More. It is primarily a collection of remixes of some of Carey's songs: disc one is geared toward her dance remixes, while disc two contains her hip hop collaborations and remixes. The Remixes is the thirteenth album by American singer Mariah Carey, released in the United States on Octoby Columbia Records.
