Alicia Keys "Like You'll Never See Me Again"
The music video for “Like You’ll Never See Me Again”, directed by Diane Martel, features cameos by Common (with whom Keys had previously worked with in the 2007 motion picture Smokin’ Aces) as Keys’ love interest who is critically injured in a motorcycle accident and Keys’ mother Terri Augello as a hospital medic. It tells the story backwards, and the viewer learns that the couple had been arguing. The video premiered on November 13, 2007, on MTV’s Total Request Live and BET’s 106 & Park. It debuted at number two on VH1’s VSpot Top 20 Countdown on February 23, 2008. Keys described the video as “heart-wrenching. If your heart doesn’t feel me, then you are dead!”.
“Doesn’t Mean Anything” received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. However, it became Keys’ least commercially successful lead single at the time as it peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thus becoming her first lead single not to peak within the top three. It fared better internationally, reaching the top ten in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
