Alicia Keys song “Underdog” has a very inspiring message.

Alicia Keys dropped her inspiring new single “Underdog” along with its corresponding, equally inspiring music video. In it, she shed light on those who’ve faced and overcome challenges, from homelessness and discrimination to single motherhood and military deployment.

The song — which was co-written with Ed Sheeran and co-produced with Johnny McDaid — implores people to look up every now and then, engage in conversations, and find human connection. It’s also a reminder not to let certain circumstances keep us from pursuing our passions and achieving our goals, no matter how unlikely the odds may seem.
