Background and recording
Carey and her husband, Tommy Mottola, who was a Sony Music executive, separated in 1997. This resulted in a strained relationship with Sony. By the spring of 1999, Carey had begun work on her last album of her contract with Columbia Records, titled Rainbow. Her relationship with Sony had affected her collaboration with writing partner Walter Afanasieff, who had worked with her throughout the first half of her career.[7] As a result, she worked extensively with many other songwriters and producers for the album, including the duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (known for their work with Janet Jackson), with whom Carey co-wrote and co-produced "Thank God I Found You". When Jam and Lewis first started working with Carey, they did not have a definite idea of what Carey expected from them.[8] In an interview with Fred Bronson, Jam and Lewis explained:
It wasn't like Janet [Jackson], where we all grew up together. Mariah had done her own thing and had been very involved with the arranging and production of her records, so we respected that and said, 'What can we do for you?' She would fly into town for five or six hours. She'd get on a plane and fly to whatever was the next thing she was doing.[8]
One night, Jam and Lewis received a call from Carey's assistant telling them that Carey had an idea for a song. She asked them to meet her at the studio later that night,[8] and when they arrived, Carey sang the song's melody for them. Normally when Carey was composing songs, James "Big Jim" Wright would play the chords.[8] He was not present at the studio that night, so Lewis played the chords for Carey. After composing the melody, Carey recorded her vocals. When Carey requested male singers to sing along with her on the track, Jam and Lewis recruited R&B singer Joe.[8] Although Jam and Lewis wanted to feature K-Ci & JoJo on the song, they dropped the idea because they are signed to a different record label.[8] About the recording, Joe said:
She [Carey] gave me a call, and she was like, "I would love to do a duet with you. Come by the studio." When I got there, she played the song for me. I didn't expect to record the song, but when I heard it, I said, "Man, there's no way I'm going to leave this studio without my voice being on that record." Everything just happened so fast. I didn't expect for it to be a single or a video. Everything was just great.[9]
Jam and Lewis also asked the boy band
Composition
"Thank God I Found You" was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and co-produced by Carey. The song is a moderately-paced R&B power ballad.[12] Arion Berger of Rolling Stone noted that the song also exhibits influences of gospel music.[13] The song carries an upbeat tone,[12] backed by slow "manufactured pop beats".[14] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Music Publishing, "Thank God I Found You" is written in the key of B♭ major.[15] The beat is set in common time, and is set at a tempo of sixty-five beats per minute.[15] The song follows the sequence of B♭–F/A–Gm7–F–E♭–F as its chord progression. Carey's and Joe's vocals in the song span over two octaves, from the note of D♭4 to the high note of D6.[15] Composed in verse–chorus–bridge form, the chorus of "Thank God I Found You" is sung in the key of B♭ major;[16] Carey also makes use of melisma in the song.[16] The final chorus is set a minor 3rd higher in the key of D♭ major. The arrangement is similar to Carey's "One Sweet Day".[12] Lyrically, the song is an inspirational[17] love song, in which the protagonist thanks God for finding her the perfect partner.[8] According to Carey, it was inspired by the relationship she was in with Latin singer Luis Miguel at that time.[8][18] She stated that she was telling a story through the song.[19]
Remixes
Carey re-recorded her vocals for the song's main remix titled "Thank God I Found You" (Make It Last Remix).

Music video
The music video for "Thank God I Found You" was filmed by Brett Ratner in Minneapolis.[65] The video is a tape of the performance Carey, Joe and 98 Degrees gave at the Last Chance Summer Dance summer music concert, organized by 101.3 KDWB-FM.[66][67] It premiered on October 14, 1999, on MTV's Total Request Live (TRL).[68] The video opens with scenes of Carey and Joe in the studio. Carey is with her puppy and talking on a mobile phone. The video shows saturated blue skies and behind-the-scenes footage of Carey carousing with her dog Jack and writing lyrics on a notepad. As the song starts, Carey is shown lying on red sofa, writing the lyrics on the notepad. Then she performs the song on the stage, joined by Joe and 98 Degrees. Additionally, there is a video for the "Make It Last Remix" that features Carey with braids in a nightclub with Joe and Nas. Directed by Sanaa Hamri.[69] The video is grainy; it was shot at Bar Rosso in Hamburg, Germany on October 16 and 17, 1999.[70]

Lawsuit
On September 15, 2000, US songwriters Seth Swirsky and Warren Campbell filed a lawsuit against Carey at the
The district court labeled this evidence as insufficient to survive a motion for summary judgment.[16] It noted the expert's methodology to be "flawed" and stated that through its own analysis, no instance of substantial similarity was found.[16] The lawsuit was settled in favor of Carey by the US District Judge, who noted that there was no similarity in key, harmonic structure, tempo, or genre between the two songs.[79]
However, this judgement was later reversed by a higher court. In the precedent-setting[2] Swirsky v. Carey decision,[3] which clarified the standard for proving copyright infringement, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned the initial 2002 dismissal of the case, finding that Swirsky's expert did in fact adequately define the similarities between the two songs.[4][5] The lawsuit was reinstated in 2004;[6] Carey and Swirsky settled out of court in 2006.
