As well as including most of Jackson's international #1 hits, the compilation included two bonus tracks: "Break of Dawn", which was a track on Jackson's (then relatively recent) 2001 studio album Invincible, and "One More Chance", which was a new song written for Jackson by R. Kelly. "One More Chance" was released as a single however, and did not actually chart at #1 in the U.S., Jackson's main market. The U.S. release also included another track, this time a live rendition of "Ben".
