Originally included on Mariah's 2009 Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel album as a solo version, a remix of the song “Up Out My Face” featuring rapper Nicki Minaj was released as the lead single from Angels Advocate, a planned re-release of the album including duet versions of the songs. The song was sent to Urban and Rhythm radio in January 2010, but the Angels Advocate project was eventually shelved. “Up Out My Face” was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on September 26, 2022.
Besides the remix featuring Nicki Minaj, producer Ralphi Rosario was commissioned to remix “Up Out My Face.” The Jump Smokers produced an additional remix, meant to be included on another re-release of Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. Neither the Ralphi Rosario nor the Jump Smokers remixes were ever released.

The music video for the remix version of “Up Out My Face” was directed by Nick Cannon and filmed in Los Angeles on December 18, 2009. The clip, which premiered on Vevo on January 28, 2010, uses Target's red and white color scheme. “It was just one of those things where I just went to her and was like, ‘Look. Let's just go have fun. You just have to show your personality and show them how much fun you are’,” Cannon told MTV. “She came up with the Target concept and I was like, ‘That's dope. Let's run with that.’ She's literally just having a great time and you get to see her being funny and being silly.”
It's not chipped we're not cracked
Oh we're shattered
I thought we had something special
And we had something good
But I should have had
Another mechanic under my hood
If you see me walkin by ya
Boy don't you even speak
Pretend you're on a sofa
And I'm on the TV
Might see me on a poster,
See me at a show
But you won't see me for free
Boy this ain't no promo
Actin all shamed now
Wherever you been layin'
You can stay now
Gotta board the BBJ
And pull the shades down
I'm on the plane now
And don't keep callin from your
Momma's house
When I break I break, boy
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
You ain't ever gonna feel
This thing again
You're gonna get a lot of calls
Cause I CC'd all your friends
I ain't walkin around all mopey and sad
That ain't even my bag, baby
I break
So look who's cryin' now, boo hoo hoo
Talkin' about you're missin'
Your boo hoo hoo
No you ain't getting it,
No you ain't hittin' it
No you ain't a rapper so you need to stop
Spittin' it - ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
You'll wonder who I'm messin'
With while you ain't next to me
I'm going bye…
So pay the consequences
Cause you acting all ignorant
So you're ashamed now
Wherever you been layin'
You can stay now
Gotta board the BBJ
And pull the shades down
I'm on the plane now
And don't keep callin' from your
Momma's house
When I break I break, boy
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
You ain't ever gonna feel
This thing again
You're gonna get a lot of calls
Cause I CC'd all your friends
I ain't walkin around all mopey and sad
They're collecting my bags, baby
I break
Cause when I break, I break I break
And no super glue can fix this shhh
When I break I break I break
Not even a welder and a builder
Can rebuild this shhh when I break, I
Break, I break
Not even a nail technician
With a whole lotta
Gel and acrylic can fix this
When I break, I break
If we were two lego blocks
Even the Harvard University
Graduating class of 2010
Couldn't put us back together again
When I break, boy
(Up out my face boy)
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
(No no nooo-oo)
(I break I break I break)
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break

You ain't ever gonna
Feel this thing again
(Gonna feel this thing again)
You're gonna get a lot of calls
(Cause I)
Cause I CC'd all your friends
(Ha ha ha ha ha-aa)
I ain't walkin' around all mopey and sad
They're collecting my bags, baby
(Cause when I break baby baby)

Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
(Up out my face boy, up out my face boy)
Up out my face, I break

Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
(Tell you nothin')
Up out my face, I break
(Here, I'll tell you something)
(I'm outta here)
(Oh yeah)

Nicki Minaj:
Mariah, Young Money, Nicki Minaj
You're such a Barbie
I was in the million dollar meetings, he was cheatin'
All up in the church he was sneakin' with the deacon
Cat's away, well the mice will play
Lol smiley face, have a nice day
Cause pop pop pop it goes my rubber band
So stop stop stop sniffin' that contraband
Cause you was penny pinchin'
My account's laced
Attention, about face

Nicki Minaj:
Stylin' on 'em, big B's brought the Benz out
Elevator, press P for the penthouse
Cop those then we break like tacos
Roscoe's on his knees wit a snot nose
They be like she next, Kawasaki T-Rex
Give him some Kleenex, match his little V-necks
Oh, that's what he left
Let his momma pick it up
Might back up on it
Vroom vroom, with the pickup truck
That blue and yellow, yeah that's the Carmelo Jag
I bob and weave 'em, hit him with that Mayweather jab
I get the thumbs up like I'm hailin' a yellow cab
My flow nuts like M&M's in a yellow bag
When I break I break, boy
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy, up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
