 Carey recorded an official remix version for " We Belong Together " , which she produced with DJ Clue . The remix features vocals from rappers Jadakiss and Styles P , two @-@ thirds of the hip @-@ hop trio the LOX . The remix is fundamentally different from the original , described as having " a faster , springier backbeat " by Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times . Lyrically , the song is similar to the album version of the song , in which both rappers ' verses contemplate on past memories . Styles P raps " Past is the past , just let it be bygones / Matter of fact I know a fly song that we could vibe on " , which Sanneh writes " Cheerfully out of place , he sounds like a man who has wandered into the wrong summertime party , but so what ? He figures he might as well stick around and enjoy it . " In two separate reviews of The Emancipation of Mimi , Sanneh referred to the song as both " great " and " excellent " , in regards to the remix .
