In Common - Kaskade Remix

This Latin-infused dance track begins with a sultry-voiced Alicia Keys lingering in bed with her lover. However as the song proceeds, we learn of her angst as she questions the dysfunctional relationship. Who wants to love somebody like me? You wanna love somebody like me? If you could love somebody like me You must be messed up too Keys said of the song: "We all have our issues, our challenges. We are all kind of messed up and that's all right. In fact, that's what helps us understand each other. To me, that is what's so beautiful."

Alicia Keys wrote the song with: The Weeknd's long-term collaborator, DJ Carlo "Illangelo" Montagnese, who also produced the track. The Canadian producer helmed the entirety of The Weeknd's Trilogy of mixtapes and several of his Beauty Behind The Madness tracks including the hit single "The Hills." American actress and singer-songwriter Taylor Parks, whose other credits include Fifth Harmony's "Bo$$," Mariah Carey's "Infinity" and Ariana Grande's "My Everything." She is best known as an actress for her role as Little Inez in the 2007 film Hairspray. Newcomer Billy Walsh who works with Illangelo.

Keys projects a serene confidence, which is why it was surprising when she sang about being "messed up" on this track. "I definitely did get caught up in this realm of wanting to appear so perfected and so un-messy and so contained, and so that it was a little bit detrimental to the ability to just be whoever you are, whoever I am, fully," she told NPR. "That's what 'In Common' is about for me and also it's about love and it's also about finding those who can accept you for who you are. And that's the truth of love right there: somebody who can accept all your flaws and all your messiness and all your stuff and be like, 'That's cool because I've got my own so I hope you can hang with mine because I'm going to hang with yours.'"
