In Alicia Keys' song "How Come You Don't Call Me", where does she keep his picture?

In Alicia Keys’ song “How Come You Don’t Call Me,” she keeps his picture beside her bed.

The song is Alicia Keys’ version of a 1983 Prince composition originally titled “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore?” Keys recorded it for her 2001 debut album, Songs in A Minor, presenting the material through a soulful R&B and gospel-influenced arrangement.

The bedside picture is part of the song’s portrait of someone left waiting after a relationship has gone quiet. The lyric focuses on unanswered calls, loneliness, and the difficulty of letting go, making the photograph a symbol of emotional attachment rather than a random household detail.

A common mix-up is confusing this song with another Alicia Keys title or assuming it is an original composition. The recording is a cover, and the picture is kept “beside my bed,” not simply somewhere in her room.
