After teasing fans all week, Alicia Keys dropped "City of Gods (Part II)."

The new track is a reimagined, slowed down, more R&B version of the epic collaboration that featured Fivio Foreign and Kanye West and debuted nearly two months ago.

In fact, Keys is all by herself on the single, marking her first release as an independent artist. Fans were also treated to newly penned verses from the New York native, who stripped down the song for a more soulful vibe.

"City of gods, city of dreams / City where nothing is ever what it seems / They'll never take it all away from me / 'Cause I see nothing but infinity," she sings in the first verse.
