2004 single by Alicia Keys
the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

"If I Ain't Got You" әні американдық әнші-әндер авторы Alicia Keys-дің екінші студиялық альбомы The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) үшін жазылған. Әнші Aaliyah-тың 2001 жылы қайтыс болуы, 11 қыркүйектегі шабуылдар және әлемдегі, сондай-ақ Keys өміріндегі басқа да оқиғалардан шабыдаланып, "материалдық заттар жанды толықтырмайтыны" туралы айтады. Ән 2004 жылдың 17 ақпанында J Records лейблы арқылы The Diary of Alicia Keys альбомының екінші синглы ретінде жарық көрді. Синглдың мұқабасында Keys, Man Ray-дің 1924 жылғы Le Violon d'Ingres суретіндегідей бейнеленген. "If I Ain't Got You" әні АҚШ Billboard Hot 100 хит-парадында төртінші орынға көтеріліп, Keys-дің R&B хит-парадындағы екінші жетекші әні болды және Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs хит-парадының төбесінде алты апта бойы тұрды. Ән 47-ші жылдық Grammy Awards (2005) сыйлығында "Жыл әні" және "Ең үздік әйел R&B вокалы" номинацияларына ие болды, соңғысымен жеңіске жетті. Rolling Stone журналының "Барлық уақыттың 500 ең жақсы әні" тізімінде 440-шы орынға ие болды. Keys ән шыққаннан бері оны өзінің сүйікті әндерінің бірі деп айтады. 2023 жылы ән Keys және Kris Bowers орындауында Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story саундтрегі үшін классикалық нұсқада қайта жазылды, оны әнші 70 адамдық, тек әйелдерден құралған түрлі-түсті оркестрмен бірге орындады.

Түсініктеме және композиция
Keys әннің идеясы Aaliyah-тың өлімінен шабыдаланғанын айтты: "Ән идеясы Aaliyah қайтыс болғаннан кейін пайда болды. Бұл өте қиын уақыт болды, ешкім оған сене алмады. Бұл мен үшін бәрін анық көрсетті – ненің маңызы бар, ал ненің жоқ екенін". 2020 жылдың қыркүйегінде Keys әншінің өзімен жұмыс істегісі келгендіктен, әнші Christina Aguilera-ға әнді ұсынғанын айтты. Соңында ол Aguilera-ның Stripped альбомы үшін "Impossible" әнін жазды. Әннің Usher-дың қосымша вокалы бар ремиксі де бар.

the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance

the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

2004 single by Alicia Keys
the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video

In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter.

the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

2004 single by Alicia Keys
the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades

the song by Jay Sean
"If I Ain't Got You" is a song recorded by American singer songwriter Alicia Keys for her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003). Inspired by the 2001 death of singer Aaliyah, the September 11 attacks, and other events in the world and in Keys' life, the song is about "how material things don't feed the soul". It was released as the second single from The Diary of Alicia Keys on February 17, 2004, by J Records. The single cover depicts Keys similarly to the subject of Man Ray's 1924 photograph Le Violon d'Ingres. "If I Ain't Got You" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Keys' second consecutive R&B chart topper, remaining atop of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for six weeks. The song received two nominations at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards (2005), for Song of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, winning the latter. It was ranked at number 440 on Rolling Stones "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". Since its release, Keys has said that it is one of her favorite songs. In 2023 the song was reinterpreted in a classical version by Keys and Kris Bowers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Soundtrack, which the singer performed with a 70 piece orchestra of women of color. Background and composition
Keys said that the idea of the song was inspired by Aaliyah's death: "The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn't." In September 2020, Keys revealed that she almost offered the song to Christina Aguilera, as the singer wanted to work with Keys. She eventually wrote the song "Impossible" for Aguilera's album Stripped. There is a remix of the song that features additional vocals by Usher. Commercial performance
"If I Ain't Got You" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty four on the issue dated March 6, 2004, peaking at number four, four months later, on July 3, 2004. It spent twenty non consecutive weeks in the top ten, one of the longest stays of any song that year and outlasting many number one singles. The song topped the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs on May 1, 2004, and spent six non consecutive weeks atop the chart. It was also successful on Billboard component charts, reaching number five on the Rhythmic Top 40 and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40. The single was ultimately placed at number three on the Billboard Year End Hot 100 chart of 2004. In late September 2009, the single returned to the chart at number fifty four. By August 2020, the song had reached 4× Platinum certification. Music video
The music video for "If I Ain't Got You", directed by Diane Martel, was filmed in Harlem, New York City, and features a cameo by rapper and actor Method Man as Keys' on screen boyfriend. Accolades
