"Mine Again" is an R&B song co-written and co-produced by Mariah Carey and James Poyser for Carey's fourteenth album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). It was released as the album's seventh and final single in the United States in August 2006 (see 2006 in music), but in 2005 it charted at number seventy-three on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.^[1] The song was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance", losing to Aretha Franklin's performance of Dionne Warwick's "A House Is Not a Home" (see Grammy Awards of 2006).^[2]

“

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.

”

"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.
