This will be the second time that the R&B singer will debut her new material on VMA, earlier in 2007, Keys had performed her hit single ‘No One’ at the awards.
Speaking about her performance, Keys said, “Debuting a new song at the VMAs is definitely special. I debuted ‘No One’ at the VMAs — it was the first time anyone in the world heard ‘No One’. It’s the perfect setting. It’s the right energy. It’s the right vibe. People are so excited about the night of music and hearing different styles that it just goes over really well. I can’t wait! I’m in my space and I feel more confident than ever to really just have a crazy, fun time. It’s so exciting to bring people into my world and where I’ve been and what I’ve been working on. And there’s no better place in the whole wide world than the VMAs to do that, so it’s gonna be crazy!”
