This song is ridiculously repetitive, but Keys' voice makes up for it in ridiculous amounts. It's really just her voice, some percussion syncopated around a solid kick beat, and some synth sounds worked around a looped piano part. Somehow that all comes together to make something catchy, a radio hit that's also a good song.
Keys says the song is all about relationships and the distractions that try to get in the way. If it's the right relationship, none of that outside influence matters, because "no one" will be able to get in the way of things turning out how they should. First released in August 2007 to her fan club and in a newsletter on her website, the song went on to take the #1 spot on the Hot 100 later that year.
