It's hot and the beat knocks, but I can see it getting old fast. Also, it's kinda giving me "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)" vibes. Hopefully it doesn't have the same fate.  |

Where's the melody? The production is very Swizz Beatz, but I can't see this being very big for her.
There's not much hype around it either..

I can see the Nelly comparisons but this really doesn't stray to far away from what AK does. At the very least it's a good buzz single.

This turned into a hot mess at the end. I don't know how I feel about it. I kinda like it I guess. I mean it's classic early Swizz and very late 90's sounding but I'm unsure of it's potential as a lead single (if it is the lead single).

She better get a hot lead single and Urban radio supporting her ish because there's no 'Empire State of Mind' pulling sales in for her this time.

I'm certain it's unfinished, at least the ending suggests it. I haven't really liked an AK song this much in years, though.

I think this is hot. And I could totally see this taking off tbh.

I'm not feeling the hook. Other than that, I do enjoy this.

This isn't lead single material but I like it just fine as a buzz track. It has a nice old school hip-hop vibe.

It better NOT be the First Single!!!
As sassy and banging as the song is, it is way beneath Alicia's standards and style to enter a CRUCIAL new era with a Swizz Beatz produced Buzz Single. It's just not Alicia Keys.
She is capable of better, and she CAN come harder than this. She has proven that time and time again.

her vocals keep getting worse
I'd probably enjoy an instrumental of this.

If whatever single is as weak as this, there's nothing great to follow, her primetime was in the past sadly. Bring on Elle Varner.

This is not bad at all.
I actually see it being a big Urban hit.

Cool song. The ending was dumb. Hopefully a buzz song.
Her album sales may be interesting this time around. Hardly anyone is selling as much as they used to. Without her being strong on iTunes, good luck getting a number 1 hit again.

I agree with Jazzy, a good buzz single but not lead material. Hopefully she has another "Unthinkable" in the bag.

After hearing this, I am ready for her mid tempos and ballads. We are definitely getting full on urban Alicia with this album if this is any indication. Can't wait.

Ok. After a few more listens I am convinced that this is a smash. It gives me the Empire State of Mind vibe.
I see multi-week #1 on Urban, Top 20 or higher on Rhythmic, and maybe a few spins on Pop.
I'm excited to see what what else she has in store for us.
