No One is one of Alicia Key's most recent songs from her new album As I Am, but it became a popular single in 2007. She has perfomed this song at the VMA's, the Grammy's and at the New Year's Count Down/Ball drop in New York City. This song is also on the radio on popular stations constantly, which is how I was first exposed to this song. I like this song so much because of the rhythm, the beat, the blend of R&B and pop and of course Alicia Key's strong personality shines through. This song is also a nice, modern spin on old love songs. Looking over the lyrics and constantly singing along with them, it is clear that she is singing about someone she is deeply in love with and feels very strongly about. In the chorus, Keys sings "You and me together through the days and nights, I don't worry 'cause everything's going to be alright." She explains that she will never separate from the love of her life because nothing can come between them. No mattter what happens they everything will be fine because they will have eachother. I really like this spin because like all of the love songs before her time, it gives hope to those who have love or are looking for love without regard to age, sexuality, race or ethnicity. Alicia Keys' lyrics truly speak to the greater population.

Ya I love this song too. Its ironic because my song, "Accidentally In Love" is also about falling madly in love. I agree with what you said about her targeting everyone, just not a sub group of people. It is nice that she is able to take her lyrics to the next level, and make them pertinent to all peoples lives. I also like how Alicia Key's puts so much feeling into her singing, and it truly makes the listener, like you said, want to sing along.
