In September, the former \"Voice\" coach released \"LALA\" featuring Swae Lee from Rae Sremmurd, which is the first single from \"Unlocked.\" They performed the song for the first time last month at the MTV VMAs.

Keys recently posted a video from their recording session and wrote, \"The writing process….It’s always so different. Sometimes it’s instant. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, even months. This was such an easy vibe tho. It just flowed @swaelee @mikewillmadeit.\"

\"My favorite line is 'love out of this world, out of this nebula,'\" she continued. \"I’ve never used nebula in a song before. But I have used Medulla oblongata. I’m that fresh!!\"

Last week, the 40-year-old singer performed at the Robin Hood Foundation's annual charity gala in New York City which raises funds for poverty-fighting programs in the New York area.

Her \"Noted: Alicia Keys The Untold Stories\" docu-series, which premiered Sept. 30, is currently available on her YouTube Channel. Keys has also written a young adult graphic novel named after her 2012, five-times platinum hit, \"Girl on Fire,\" which will be published March 1, 2022.
