"A Woman's Worth" is a song by American singer–songwriter Alicia Keys. A piano-driven soul and a contemporary R&B ballad, it was written by Keys and Erika Rose and produced by Keys for her debut album, Songs in A Minor (2001). The song was released as the album's second single in May 2001 following the worldwide success of her debut single the previous year.

"A Woman's Worth" became another top-10 success for Keys in the United States, where it reached number three on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Chris Robinson, is a continuation of the "Fallin'" video and explored what happens when Keys' onscreen love interest gets released from prison and he tries to acclimate to society. The clip was nominated for both Best R&B Video and Best Cinematography at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, while the song won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Song in the same year.

Music video

The single's music video was directed by Chris Robinson and shot entirely in Brooklyn, New York.[1] Its plot continues from Keys' previous video for "Fallin'" which revolves around Keys' travel to her imprisoned boyfriend. "A Woman's Worth" picks up where the previous video left, depicting his release from prison and tries to acclimate to society.[1] The clip premiered on BET's 106 & Park on October 16, 2001.[1][2]

Live performances

At the 2002 Grammy Awards ceremony, Keys performed both "Fallin'" and a tango-influenced version of "A Woman's Worth". On June 26, 2011, at the BET Awards, Keys performed the song as a duet with Bruno Mars.[3]
