The album

The album is a collection of remixes of Destiny's Child and some bonus tracks. It is notable for containing several resung remixes. The first of these resung remixes "No, No, No (Part II)" is present on this collection. Other major urban remixes that have been resung include "Say My Name (Timbaland Remix)", "Bootylicious (Rockwilder Remix), "Bug A Boo" (Refugee Camp Remix), and "Emotion (Neptunes Remix)". The album also collects the "Survivor (Remix)" which features Da Brat.

The album features dance remixes mainly remixed by Maurice Joshua. His remixes on this album include "Bills, Bills, Bills" (Maurice's Xclusive Livegig Mix)", "Nasty Girl (Azza's Nu Soul Mix)", and "So Good (Maurice's Soul Remix)", with the latter having re-recorded vocals. The album also contains a dance/rhythmic remix of "Dot (E-Poppi Mix)" (the original was featured on the "Charlie's Angels Soundtrack").

The album also contains some bonus tracks. First, the album contains a remix medley of "Jumpin' Jumpin'" that blends the "So So Def Remix" of the song featuring original members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson with the "Maurice's Jumpin Retro Mix". This mix of the song also contains vocals by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. The album goes on with the bonus tracks by including "Independent Women (Part II)". The album ends with a bonus track, Michelle Williams's first single, "Heard A Word".
