Alicia Keys finished writing and recording the album before she found out she was pregnant, which delayed its release. The album received positive reviews from critics, who praised its raw and urgent quality and its exploration of social struggles and African-American life. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The album produced two singles, "In Common" and "Blended Family (What You Do for Love)". Alicia Keys' hiatus was not planned, but she found out she was pregnant after recording the album. Alicia Keys also worked on Madonna's album and released a series of children's books. She gave birth to her second child in 2014.
Critics praised "Here" for its writing, musicality, and political themes. The album was commercially successful in the US but less so internationally.
