Background
Alicia Keys's debut album Songs in A Minor (2001) sold over 6.2 million copies and earned five Grammy Awards. Due to the extreme popularity of her debut album, there was a lot of pressure on the album to match or exceed that success. The album proved to be as successful as her debut album, and was nominated for two of the "big four" Grammy Awards: Song of the Year for If I Ain't Got You, and Album of the Year. The album also sold over twice as many copies in its first week as Songs in A Minor.
