History

"Mine Again" was created when Carey wanted to explore music with R&B roots that were organic, yet soulful. Carey and Poyser composed it at his piano, unlike Carey's other songs, in which she's mainly responsible for the melody. Carey said that the song is "definitely like the power ballad of this record, and I feel like it's gonna be a lot of people's favorite. Cause it's a very big vocal moment, a big vocal performance. And it's one of those kind of like, break your heart songs, make you get together with your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend."citequote

The song was featured in Intel's promotion of its new Centrino mobile chipset in early 2006. The commercial debuted during the Super Bowl XL and features Carey "coming to life" in the lap of a young man listening to music on his laptop in a library. She then proceeds to serenade him with an impromptu version of "Mine Again". It was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance", losing to Aretha Franklin's "A House Is Not a Home" (see Grammy Awards of 2006).

Rumors spread in the Philippines that "Mine Again" was going to be the fourth single after "Shake It Off"/"Get Your Number", but "Don't Forget About Us" was released in lieu of the re-release of "The Emancipation of Mimi". When "Mine Again" was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Traditional R&B Performance", promotion of the single heightened. Radio stations supported the song, but because Carey had no intentions of releasing it as a commercial single, it ended up as a radio-only single.

There is no music video for the single.
