Underdog (Alicia Keys song)

Last updated

I love this song so much because it's about real life and real people and our experiences. We've all been in a place in our lives where we've had to defy the odds. It's never easy. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is, 'They say I would never make it but I was built to break the mold.' I don't think there's a person on the planet that hasn't felt that way. [1]

"Underdog" was released on January 9, 2020, as the third single from Alicia. [2] Meg Bishop from Minnesota Daily wrote that on the song, Keys "implores listeners to view people in their true context, below the surface of one glance". [3] The single was featured in a TV ad for Amazon Music. [4] On March 27, 2020, the song was remixed by Keys and featured reggae singers Protoje and Chronixx. [5] On May 14, 2021, 16 months after the song's original release date, another remix of the song was released featuring American singer Nicky Jam and Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. [6] In November 2021, Keys released a lullaby version of the song on Sweet Dreams extended play. [7]

Critical reception

Reviewing for NME , Nick Levine called "Underdog" a "slick pop-R&B single" with "unpretentious and affecting" lyrics. [8] USA Today 's Gary Dinges named it among the songs from Alicia that "take on new meaning when you listen to them within the scope of the pandemic and social strife plaguing the country". [9] Adi Mehta from Entertainment Voice wrote that the song's "main melody is hopelessly trite" but "Keys manages to sound so sleek and modest". [10] Konstantinos Pappis from Our Culture Mag wrote that the “uplifting” song is “anchored by Keys’ ability to sell everyday stories about perseverance” and named it one of the album's highlights. [11]
