What Alicia Keys album featured the song "You Don't Know My Name"?

The Alicia Keys album that featured “You Don’t Know My Name” was The Diary of Alicia Keys.

Released in 2003, The Diary of Alicia Keys was Keys’ second studio album, following her 2001 debut Songs in A Minor. The album explored soul, R&B, classical piano, and hip-hop influences, with a more mature, traditional-soul sound than its predecessor.

“You Don’t Know My Name” was the album’s lead single. Alicia Keys co-wrote and co-produced it with Kanye West and Harold Lilly, and the recording samples the Main Ingredient’s 1975 song “Let Me Prove My Love to You.” The song tells the story of someone yearning for the attention of a person who barely knows her.

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 618,000 first-week units. It produced several major hits, including “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Diary,” and “Karma.” A common mix-up is placing the song on Songs in A Minor, but that album contains Keys’ earlier breakout material, including “Fallin’.”
