As I Am is the third studio album by American singer Alicia Keys. It was released on November 9, 2007 by J Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at various recording studios from 2005 until 2007. Production was handled primarily by Keys, Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, Jack Splash, and Linda Perry, with a guest contribution from musician John Mayer.
Despite some criticism towards Keys' songwriting, As I Am received positive reviews from critics. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 742,000 copies in its first week, and was eventually certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It became an international commercial success and spawned four singles, including "No One", which became the most-listened song of 2007 in the United States. The album earned Keys several accolades, including three Grammy Awards, and has sold over five million copies worldwide.
