Who didn’t love this classic R&B song by Keys about a woman digging a guy who literally has no idea she exists…even if she makes him a mean hot chocolate every day when he comes in for lunch? With the help of West as producer and a great sample from the Main Ingredient (“Let Me Prove My Love To You”), the song was able to peak at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and go number one on the Hot R&B Charts. And it also went on to win a Grammy award for Best R&B song. Blame it on the genius phone call breakdown (“Cause you know, I look a lot different outside my work clothes”).
