Which Alicia Keys song co-written and produced by Kanye West won Best R&B Song?
Answer
You Don't Know My Name
Alicia Keys’s “You Don’t Know My Name,” co-written and produced by Kanye West, won Best R&B Song.
The song appeared on Keys’s second studio album, *The Diary of Alicia Keys*, released in 2003. Keys, West, and Harold Lilly received songwriting credit, while the production was handled by Keys and West. It became the first collaboration between Keys and West.
The track’s warm, retro-soul sound is built around a sample of “Let Me Prove My Love to You,” a 1975 song performed by the Main Ingredient. That recording itself drew on a piano figure associated with Frédéric Chopin’s “Winter Wind” étude, so the Grammy-winning song connects modern R&B production with older soul and classical sources.
The title is often confused with Keys hits such as “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Fallin’,” or “No One.” Those are separate songs. “You Don’t Know My Name” was released as the lead single from *The Diary of Alicia Keys* and won the Grammy for Best R&B Song.
