Mine Again
"Mine Again" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, from her tenth studio album ''The Emancipation of Mimi'' (2005). It was co-written and co-produced by Carey and James Poyser. It was recorded at MSR Studios and Honeywest Studios, both located New York City. It is a neo soul and soul inspired ballad. The lyrics revolve around the protagonist wishing for a second chance at a seemingly failed relationship. The song garnered positive reviews from music critics, praising Carey and Poyser's production and her vocal performance. Upon the release of ''The Emancipation of Mimi'', "Mine Again" debuted on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 82, and reached a peak of number 73. In 2006, it was nominated for the Best Traditional R&B Performance at the Grammy Awards.
==Background==
In 2001, Carey suffered a physical and emotional breakdown, causing her to abandon promotion of her then-released studio album ''Glitter'' (2001), and its accompanying film. Since she was hospitalized for exhaustion, the film project received strongly negative critical feedback, with the album faring slightly better. Following Carey's absence from the public eye, as well as her abandonment of promotional appearances for the film and soundtrack, her unprecedented $100 million five-album record deal with Virgin Records (EMI Records) was bought out for $50 million. After recovering and completing her contractual agreement with Virgin Records, Carey began recording her intended "comeback" and follow-up album, ''Charmbracelet'' (2002). The album focused on incorporating several inspirational ballads and re-capturing Carey's audience from the 1990s. However, critics took notice of Carey's different vocals.〔
As ''Glitter'' was an unsuccessful mixture of covers and dance music, ''Charmbracelet'' incorporated slower, contemporary melodies.〔 In his review of the album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine criticized the album's content, describing Carey's voice as "in tatters".〔 He wrote, "Whenever she sings, there's a raspy whistle behind her thin voice and she strains to make notes throughout the record. She cannot coo or softly croon, nor can she perform her trademark gravity-defying vocal runs. Her voice is damaged, and there's not a moment where it sounds strong or inviting."〔 Though fueled by strong media attention regarding Carey's return to music, as well as her new deal with Island Records, the album failed to deliver the type of success she had been accustomed to throughout the 1990s, and only managed sales of five million copies globally. After the album's release, and its succeeding tour, Carey began conceptualizing and working on a new project, eventually titled ''The Emancipation of Mimi'', her tenth studio effort. By November 2004, Carey had already recorded several songs for the album.
