"'''In Common'''" is a song by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys from her sixth studio album, ''Here''. The song was written by Keys, Illangelo, Billy Walsh and Taylor Parks, and produced by Illangelo. It is a departure from her R&B sound, having a tropical music and dancehall sound, with Latin beat, Afrobeat instrumental, collage of electronic beats, tropicalia-infused rhythms and icy drum patterns as its main instrumentation. Keys uses a hushed tone throughout the song.
The song's accompanying music video was shot in black-and-white and released on May 20, 2016. It features Keys grooving on a fire escape alongside dancers of all ages and races. Keys gave the first televised performance of the track on ''Saturday Night Live'' and later at the UEFA Champions League Final. The song is solely available on the deluxe edition of ''Here''.
== Background and release == After the success of her fifth studio album, ''Girl on Fire'' (2012), Alicia Keys took a break and in 2014 announced she was expecting her second child with husband Swizz Beatz. In September 2014, Keys released "We Are Here", a song about social justice that at the time was announced as the lead-single of her upcoming sixth studio album by ''Billboard''.<ref name="billboardwah">{{cite news|last1=Brandle|first1=Lars|title=Watch Alicia Keys Discuss New Album: It's the 'Best Music I've Ever Done'|url=https://www.billboard.com/culture/events/watch-alicia-keys-discuss-new-album-its-the-best-music-ive-6259100/|access-date=May 6, 2016|magazine=Billboard|date=September 22, 2014}}</ref> In the same year, Keys confirmed production by her husband, producer Swizz Beatz, and Pharrell Williams, revealing the album was almost done.<ref name="billboardwah"/> However, in July 2015, Keys released "28 Thousand Days", a song that she dedicated to her husband and that was released to Levi's ad campaign.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Roth|first1=Madeline|title=Alicia Keys' New Song Will Make You Want To Carpe F--king Diem|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2229510/alicia-keys-28-thousand-days/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150802011006/http://www.mtv.com/news/2229510/alicia-keys-28-thousand-days/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 2, 2015|access-date=May 6, 2016|publisher=MTV|date=July 31, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Brown|first1=Eric Renner|title=Alicia Keys returns with '28 Thousand Days'|url=http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/31/alicia-keys-28-thousand-days|access-date=May 6, 2016|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=July 31, 2015}}</ref> In an interview for Vogue magazine, in late 2015, Keys revealed that the album would only be released in early 2016.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wagoner|first1=Mackenzie|title=Alicia Keys on Fragrance, Fearlessness, and the Beauty of Doing Your Own Makeup|url=http://www.vogue.com/13368425/alicia-keys-beauty-routine-hair-makeup-perfume-black-ball-keep-a-child-alive/|access-date=May 6, 2016|work=Vogue|date=November 5, 2015|archive-date=May 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160508145759/http://www.vogue.com/13368425/alicia-keys-beauty-routine-hair-makeup-perfume-black-ball-keep-a-child-alive/|url-status=dead}}</ref> After teasing new music in April,<ref>{{cite news|title=I've been dying to tell you this.... #NewAKMusic Snap: AKStreetGoddess|url=https://www.facebook.com/aliciakeys/videos/vb.6558867050/10153434013377051/?type=2&theater|access-date=May 6, 2016|publisher=Facebook|date=April 16, 2016}}</ref> and performing it at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival in the same month,<ref name="tribeca"/> the singer released "In Common" on May 4, 2016.

''Pitchfork'' would later list "In Common" on their ranking of the 100 best songs of 2016 at number 87: “If you follow Alicia Keys on Instagram, you already know she’s drawn to Nigerian pop acts like Wizkid and Davido, part of the ascendant Afrobeats sound. Part UK funky, part soca, part dancehall, part soda pop bubble, this Nigerian/Ghanaian hybrid became the sound of the year, so it made sense that Ms. Keys and producer Illangelo wove those vibrant tropical patterns into “In Common.” It's a rare, welcome instance of Keys moving out of her musical comfort zone and riding the humid groove, and she took it all the way to the DNC stage. It would have been easy enough to pair that genre's bubbling rhythm with a lyrical bauble, but Keys instead twists the love song trope of “opposites attract.” “If you could love somebody like me/You must be messed up too” simultaneously indicts and embraces the dysfunction, insecurity, and maddening laws of attraction that undergird modern love.”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9981-the-100-best-songs-of-2016/?page=10|title=The 100 Best Songs of 2016|publisher=Pitchfork Media|date=December 12, 2016|access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref>
