context_page_description: American singer-songwriter, pianist, and music producer Alicia Keys has written and produced for her five studio albums, in collaborations, for other artists and for film and theater. Keys began composing songs she would later include on her debut studio album, Songs in A Minor at age 14. She signed with Columbia Records at age 15, later leaving Columbia to sign with Arista Records and then J Records. Prior to the release of Songs in A Minor in June 2001, her song "Girlfriend" was released to US radio in earlier in the year as a promotional song "to introduce" Keys. It was co-written by Keys with Jermaine Dupri and Joshua Thompson and contains a sample of Ol' Dirty Bastard's track "Brooklyn Zoo". The album's official first single, "Fallin'", written and produced solely by Keys, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. "A Woman's Worth", written by Keys and Erika Rose, is a "jazz-tinged" song with lyrical content on how men should treat and respect women.
  Keys released her second album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, in December 2003. In addition to working with previous collaborator Kerry Brothers, Jr., Keys also collaborated with several others for the album.
