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.
“Mine Again” peaked at #73 on Billboard’s R&B chart and was even nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Traditional R&B Performance” in 2006. The song was used in an Intel commercial.
“'Mine Again' is a song that I wrote with James Poyser who is from The Roots and he’s an incredible musician. He’s just a really good person. We sat down at the piano the first time we met and he just started playing. He’s one of those musicians where you can go back and forth and riff off eachother. I was singing him what ended up being the main piano riff of the song and he’s so talented that he can just pick that up in two seconds and he would lead me in one direction, I would lead him in another direction and we came up with the song that I feel is definitely the power ballad of this record and I feel like it’s going to be a lot of people’s favorites because it’s a very big vocal moment and big vocal performance. It’s one of those break your heart songs that makes you get back with your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend." -AOL Music Commentary, April 22, 2005.
