Background, content and release

LeAnn Rimes had performing her most well-known hit songs for many years. However, she found that many listeners were asking for new versions of her songs because she has originally recorded the tracks as a teenager. "People are constantly asking for these versions of the songs, because they're grown-up versions. Now, everybody who grew up with these songs gets to relate to them the way I do. There's a wisdom behind [the music.]," she told The Boot. [2] The project was produced by Rimes, along with her longtime musical collaborator, Darrell Brown. [3]

Five tracks were featured on Re-Imagined, [1] including a duet version with Stevie Nicks of the song "Borrowed". The song first appeared on her 2013 album Spitfire . Also featured on the record were new recordings of her former songs "Blue", "How Do I Live", "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)". [4] [1] Four songs were issued as promotional singles from the EP project. [5] [6] [7] [8] Re-Imagined was released on EverLe Records and Thirty Tigers on June 20, 2018 to digital and streaming platforms. [9]
