If I Ain't Got You

"If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys is typically played in the key of G major. Released in 2003 as part of her album "The Diary of Alicia Keys," the song was both performed and composed by Alicia Keys herself. It's a soulful R&B ballad that showcases Keys' powerful vocals and poignant songwriting. The track received critical acclaim and commercial success, earning Keys several Grammy Awards nominations. One interesting fact about the song is that it features a prominent piano melody, which is a signature element of many of Alicia Keys' compositions.
