Sobre el álbum
La actuación Unplugged para la MTV captura la esencia más pura de Alicia Keys como músico y como intérprete. En este disco en directo, la artista se aleja de las producciones de estudio para, en su lugar, ofrecer versiones desnudas y orgánicas de su repertorio, acompañada por una banda excepcional. Las canciones adquieren una nueva vida, revelando la solidez de sus composiciones y la increíble calidez de su voz en un ambiente íntimo y cercano.
Además, el álbum no solo incluye sus grandes éxitos, sino que también presenta canciones inéditas como "Unbreakable" y sorprendentes versiones, demostrando su versatilidad. El concierto se convierte en una celebración de la música en su estado más fundamental. Este "Unplugged" fue un éxito rotundo, un testimonio del inmenso talento de una artista que no necesita artificios para emocionar y cautivar a la audiencia.

Letra
Weren't you the one who said, that you don't want me anymore And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me But still you said your love was gone, and that I had to leave Now you're, talking 'bout a family Now you're, saying I complete your dreams (Oh) Now you're, sayin I'm your everything You confusing me What you saying to me Don't play with me Don't play with me. 'Cause... what goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back I remember when I was sittin home alone Waitin for you Til 3 o'clock in the morn And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse. Half explaining to me, like I'm just some kind of a fool I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you But when it's time to do for me, you never come thru Now you, wanna be up under me (eyyy) Now you, have so much to say to me (heyy) Now you, wanna make time for me Whatcha doin to me. You're confusin me Don't play with me Don't play with me. 'Cause... what goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back I remember when I was sittin home alone Waitin for you Til 3 o'clock in the morn Night after night Knowing something goin on Wasn't long before I be gone Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me. Never thought you'd be the one that would deceived me. And never do what you're supposed to do No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you 'Cause... what goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Gotta stop trying, to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. It's called Karma baby. And it goes around. What goes around, comes around, What goes up, must comes down, Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me - Heartburn3:03
