More about If I Ain't Got You
If I Ain't Got You is one of the most popular songs by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys. It was a part of her second studio album titled The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003).
The song, released in September 2004, was inspired by certain events in Keys' life, including the death of Aaliyah and the 9/11 attacks.
Released as the second single from the album, If I Ain't Got You became an instant hit, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. It remained on top of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart for six weeks, making it a massive hit. The song received two Grammy nominations and even won one.
Although Keys says that this was one of her favorite compositions, she nearly gave the song away to Christina Aguilera. In an interview with Stereogum, she said:
"I think we were on the same label at the time. She asked, 'would you write something for me?' And then it came through so many emails. What a voice! I know I could write something fire for her. So time passed, and I hadn't written the song yet. And [the label] was like, 'Do you have anything for Christina.' I remember I had just recently written If I Ain't Got You."
Keys' A&R opposed this decision, and she ended up keeping it for herself.
