GRAMMY®-Nominated: Kaytranada Brings New Spin to Mariah Carey’s “Don’t Forget About Us”

Mariah Carey and Kaytranada come together on a luminous new reimagining of “Don’t Forget About Us,” (UMe) earning a GRAMMY® nomination for Kaytranada in Best Remixed Recording. Created in celebration of The Emancipation of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition), the remix brings fresh dimension to one of Carey’s most emotionally resonant songs. Kaytranada doesn’t reshape the track for spectacle—he reshapes it for feeling, building a groove that allows the song’s vulnerability to breathe while gently ushering it onto the dance floor.

The result is a seamless blend of eras and sensibilities. Carey’s unmistakable vocals remain front and center, while Kaytranada’s signature rhythmic touch adds warmth, movement, and modernity without overshadowing the song’s emotional core. It’s a thoughtful reinterpretation that honors the legacy of The Emancipation of Mimi while reminding listeners why the album continues to resonate two decades later. The remix stands as both a celebration and a conversation—between past and present, emotion and motion.

With five GRAMMY® wins and 34 nominations, Mariah Carey is one of the most celebrated artists of all time, with a career defined by record-breaking achievements, vocal brilliance, and a catalog that has shaped generations of pop and R&B. Kaytranada, a GRAMMY®-winning producer and DJ, has carved out a singular lane with his genre-blurring sound and instinctive sense of groove, collaborating with artists across hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. Their GRAMMY®-nominated remix reflects a shared commitment to evolution, artistry, and honoring the emotional power of music that endures.
