Keys said the Robert Hales-directed video is “totally beautiful, really unexpected.”

“It’s a girl and her working two jobs and she’s got all these things going on,” she said in an interview with MTV. “But the whole time, she’s totally distracted because she’s only thinking about how she feels [about her ex], almost at the point [where] you’re thinking about the person, but you’re also thinking about, kind of, your loneliness and how you feel. How’re you gonna get through it?”
