No one alicia keys
This is what it sounds like: a song about rising above adversity and proving yourself, even if you're an "underdog." Keys definitely has an ongoing theme of female empowerment on her tracks, and "Underdog" is no exception. With its catchy chorus and empowering lyrics, it's no wonder this song has over 371,235,471 streams to date on Spotify alone. 'Girl on Fire'Īs the most popular song from her 2012 album aptly titled "Girl on Fire," this hit single still serves as a girl-power anthem. This track features R&B singer Miguel, who adds some passionate vocals and really sets the tone for this heartfelt hit. This song is on the slower and more sensual side of Alicia's discography and is equally as good as so many of her other songs. This song represents that ability to evolve and grow into a new you, as Keys feels she did before the song's release. When Keys released this second single off her 2012 album "Girl on Fire," she debuted a new hairstyle to go with it, marking a style change for her in accompaniment with her new music. This song addresses specific issues that the world was facing when the song was released about eight years ago, and serves as a reminder for the public of why we are here on Earth: to make a difference and do our part. This 2014 tune from Keys was dedicated to peace and love in the face of war and hatred.
"If I Ain't Got You" is a power ballad dedicated to love - but has another surprising and more specific significance as well. Perhaps one of Alicia Keys' most popular hits off her album "The Diary of Alicia Keys," this song comes in at Keys' most-streamed song, with 621,899,429 streams on Spotify alone. To celebrate, we rounded up some of Alicia Keys' best songs, from classic love songs to soaring piano ballads and, yes, the iconic New York anthem "Empire State of Mind." Happy listening. On the heels of the release of her new double album, "Keys" - out now - the New York native is taking the stage on the TODAY Plaza on Tuesday, Dec. Oh, did we also mention she hosted the 61st Grammy Awards Show?
