Remix and release[]
In November 2008, Aguilera confirmed the release of her first greatest hits album, stating, "I'm looking forward to the next 10 years, which is partly why I named the album, Keeps Gettin' Better, 'cause it does". It was announced that the album distribution rights in the US belonged to Target retailer via her record label RCA Records. People who would pre-order the compilation also received a free digital download version of the single "Keeps Gettin' Better". During an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Aguilera explained that Target "got such a great creative team", and that's why she worked with the retailer for the album. Released in November 2008, Keeps Gettin' Better features all of Aguilera's hits from her previous studio albums released up to 2008 and four new songs produced by Linda Perry. Two of which are remakes of her previous singles, "Genie 2.0" ("Genie in a Bottle"), and "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)" ("Beautiful").

Lyrics[]
Everyday is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain,
I'm so ashamed
Everyday is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain,
I'm so ashamed
(You are what you are...)
You are beautiful no matter what they say
(No matter what they say)
(No matter what they say, No matter what they)
(You are what you are...)
We are beautiful no matter what they say
(No matter what they say)
(No matter what they say, No matter what they)
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness,
Pieces gone,
Left undone
(You are what you are...)
You are beautiful no matter what they say
(No matter what they say)
(No matter what they say, No matter what they)
(You are what you are...)
We are beautiful no matter what they say
(No matter what they say)
(No matter what they say, No matter what they)
No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
But tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
