The material, all previously unavailable, consists of remixes of songs taken from the band's debut studio album, To Lose My Life... The final track, "Unfinished Business", was remixed by Jorge Elbrect, lead vocalist and guitarist of Violens, a New York psychedelic rock band who supported White Lies on many of their To Lose My Life... tour dates in the U.K.
The artwork for The Remixes is identical to that of To Lose My Life..., except for the colour, which is inverted.
