Interesting facts and trivia about Thank God I Found You (feat. Joe & Nas) - Make It Last Remix Edit. By Songfacts®.

This song was inspired by Carey's boyfriend at the time, Latin singer Luis Miguel. It's the last song on her Rainbow album, and is supposed to represent the rainbow that emerges after the storm - which are other songs on the album dealing with relationship troubles.

"Thank God I Found You" came together during a midnight songwriting session with star producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the architects behind many of Janet Jackson's hits, including "That's The Way Love Goes" and "All For You." The duo was impressed by Mariah's knowledge of their catalog and her decisive nature: She knew exactly what she wanted and exactly how to explain it. Jam told Fred Bronson, author of the Billboard Book Of #1 Hits, how the session unfolded. "She's got 'Thank God I found you' and that's about it," he said. "She sang the melody. We usually have [producer] Big Jim Wright sit in on those kind of sessions to work out chords. He wasn't there so I had to work out the chords myself. So I'm playing and there was a part where I said, 'Man, what chord am I supposed to do here?' and Mariah has such a good ear, she sang me the chord.'"

This features guest vocals from R&B singer Joe, who broke through with his third album, My Name Is Joe, a few months later. Jam and Lewis originally wanted K-Ci and JoJo for the track, but it was too difficult to negotiate a deal with the "All My Life" hitmakers, who were signed to a different label. When Joe got the call from Mariah Carey to come to the studio, he knew it was a big deal. "I had no idea I would record at that moment, but I couldn't let the opportunity slip away," he explained in the Bronson interview. "She sat in the control room while I was singing in the booth and it was amazing to have her sit there and watch her smile and be in her zone."
