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.

“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
