The Complete Limelight Sessions is a collection of songs recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain, before she signed a record deal with Mercury Nashville in 1993. It was released in North America on October 23, 2001, following the success of Come On Over. The album was promoted by remixes of "It's Alright", Twain's only song to chart on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. "The Heart Is Blind" was released throughout December 2001 to country radio and adult contemporary radio,[1] but did not chart.

The songs from this album were previously released in July 2000 throughout Europe on the RWP Label as Wild & Wicked and originally came with a free poster. It charted on the UK Albums Chart at number 62 for two weeks. In the following years, the songs were released with varying tracklists (leaving out some songs and/or adding remixes) under various names, including Beginnings, On the Way or a song title from the album. None of these releases were official.
