During an interview with Essence magazine in September 2012, Keys spoke about the video's cancellation, saying:
Sometimes with creative things [it] all comes together [...] and sometimes things almost come together and it's better to just leave it. So we love that song. We had a ball shooting the video. It just so happens that the whole thing, for some reason or another, didn't quite come together so we just decided to leave it. And that's what happened.
how much you wanna bet this song would chart much higher on the Hot 100 if the video was put up on youtube right now
