Co-written with Ed Sheeran and co-produced with Johnny McDaid, the empowering anthem and accompanying video encourages us to rise up and Keys sings for everyone- the underdogs, the hustlers, the single mothers, and the young teachers. That embrace of both the complexity of the mind and the integrity of the heart permeates her new single, “Underdog”-the third track released from ALICIA, after “Time Machine” and the Miguel duet “Show Me Love”. All of these parts are inside of us, and we deserve to be able to understand them and get to know them better.” The crazy is just as important as the rational. “There are so many pieces that make us who we are, and the rage and the anger are just as important as the resolution and the solution. “I definitely have been on a personal mission to connect with the different sides of myself,” she says.

She’s releasing her upcoming seventh studio album, ALICIA, her first album in four years her book More Myselfis due in a few months and she’ll be hosting the GRAMMY Awards for the second consecutive year.
