Perhaps the most notable and elusive of the bonus material, this song never received a formal release. Backed by Swizz’s hard-hitting drums and staccato piano chords, Mariah vocally shines. It also served as a bonus track on certain copies of the “Shake It Off” & “Get Your Number” single. Mariah’s second released collaboration with Swizz Beatz (the first being Jay-Z’s “Things That U Do”) found it’s way onto the Japan edition of The Emancipation of Mimi. It’s not the most dance-able track, but it’s fun. However, it’s generally unknown outside of the fans. It was included on most international versions of the albums, and released in a special Target deluxe edition in the US in late 2005. The first song that did not make the album is this Mahogany produced moment. However, there are 3 other tracks that almost made the cut, yet didn’t. The album’s original 14 tracks are nearly flawless. It went on to become the best selling album of 2005 in the US, and won Mariah 3 Grammy Awards. When Mariah Carey released The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005, the album received critical acclaim.
