It is composed of remixed versions of tracks from her debut studio album Pies Descalzos, with which she attained Latin American success two years prior. While primarily a Spanish-language project, the album additionally contains re-recorded versions of songs in Portuguese.[2][3]

Since its release, The Remixes has become one of the best-selling remix albums worldwide, and is currently the best-selling Latin remix album worldwide, with international sales exceeding 1,000,000 copies.
