The violin is so prominent here and it's the icing on the cake of this song!

This is when artists cared about their videos Alicia even travel to Italy to get those awesome shots merging New York hip hop with Italian strings representing her mixed Black and Italian heritage. The video looks exactly like the song if that makes sense LOL.

This woman was so big back then, more talented than Beyonce

This song hits hard. My so-called relatives left us in a time of need, and now that we're well-off again, they are coming back to us. What goes around comes around indeed.

2020 anyone out there listening to this piece of art? 😍

Probably the best song she’s ever released. This song is so underrated. It deserves a re-release and the credit it deserves. Loved this song 12 years ago and still do here at the end of 2021.

Still fearless in 2024!!!

Her sense of fashion in the video was beautiful!

One of her best songs and yet underrated.

One of my favorite Alicia Keys songs, love both the violin and drum accompaniment.

This song is a masterpiece

She is so beautiful

Her hair in braids were bomb af 😍😩

she looks so stunning. Haven't heard this song song in a minute

One of her best songs! Masterpiece.

One of my favorites from the "Diary" (2003) album. The beat & instrumental work are hella insane!

16 year old me singing to the dude that broke my heart but didn't know he broke my heart because he wasn't my boyfriend 🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂

This is such a phenomenal underrated gem, the beats are perfect, and Alicia’s vocals are so angelic, with the sassy lyrics, and they both match the beats to perfection.

Alicia with the bangs was everything

Lemonade braids? Alicia rocked em first

Before braids were known as “Lemonade Braids” they were “Karma Braids”.

I love she didnt have to wear anything skimpy or have booty hang out . just pure talent 😮‍💨

Alicia should be more praised than Beyoncé. She’s just as beautiful and even more talented.

Wow! no autotune. This is the real artist.

How did I forget such a great song. And Alicia is smoking in this vid.

Why is this so underrated?! Everything here is fantastic! The song, the lyrics hits my soul and the MV is amazing.

Good song & lyrics Alicia never disappoints. Oodles of gifts & talent Best part is the subway platform The rest is weird ... as in not in alignment with Alicia's casual cool style

My GrandMother always said that You never miss your water until your well runs dry.

She's so damn beautiful. omg this woman is awesome

Let’s be real here. She has a way better looking face than JLO but because she never showed herself off and had humility, she never became a sex symbol in the same way.

Alicia, the trendsetter, trailblazer, the soul, the truth, the woman, me, you, us! This song is everything and the video is just the icing on top.

Almost 2022 and this song is still a masterpiece !

My favorite part "lord knows it wasnt easy believe me never thought you be the one to deceive me never do what u supposed to do no need to approach me fool cause I'm over u"🔥🔥🔥🔥

Weren't you the one that said That you don't want me anymore And how you need your space And give the keys back to your door And how I cried and tried And tried to make you stay with me But still you said the love was gone And that I had to leave talkin' bout a family (Now you) sayin' I complete your dream (Now you) sayin' I'm your everything You're confusing me, what you say to me Don't play with me, don't play with me, 'cause (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back I remember when I was sittin' home alone Waiting for you 'til three o'clock in the morn' And when you came home You'd always have some sorry excuse Half explaining to me Like I'm just some kind of a fool I sacrificed the things I want Just to do things for you But when it's time to do for me You never come through wanna be up under me (Now you) have so much to say to me, hey (Now you) want to make time for me What you do to me, your confusing me Don't play with me, don't play with me, 'cause (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin, desirin' to come back to me (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin, desirin' to come back I remember when I was sittin' home alone Waiting for you 'til three o'clock in the morn' Night after night, knowing somethin' goin' on Wasn't long before I be g-g-gone Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me And never do what you supposed to do No need to approach me boo, 'cause I'm over you (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Gotta stop cryin', to come back to me (Goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) He's cryin', cryin, my baby And it goes around (What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down) Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me

Who else in on an Alicia Keys binge on here?

Kids will never know real music like this. This was huge back in my day

I will always love this song... thank you Alicia Keys for sharing your gift with the world 🎹🎹🎹

Song dedicated to backstabbers, friends or family, backstabber still backstabbers...they WILL get the karma they deserve... ☺

This song is so underrated. She looks soooo amazing too!

Yo, listen up! My dude got skills for real, but even he gotta use a u t h e n t I c v i e w s to get that quick shine. If you tryna get your Alicia Keys out there and blow up fast, you gotta roll with a u t h e n t I c v i e w s. That's the move, no cap.

I may not be religous. But I believe in karma. My mom used to say there's consequence for every bad deed.

if only the music industry would allow artist like this to succeed now as an 2016 .. instead of having people half naked on stage and videos

I am a Christian and for the most part I do go by the Bible as much as I can and that means I don't have to worry about revinge are Karma!!

I always loved this track cause it sounded like a Dr. Dre beat at that time. I thought he produced it until I saw the album credits on my brother's CD.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me... Words to live by, but seldom followed...

Her hair and blue outfit giving me Selena Quintanilla-Perez vibes

Everybody listening??😊😊😊

it was THIS SONG when it came out. that made me want the album/C.D. yep, I bought it.

Look at this 11 years ago and still one of my favorite songs. I can relate to it whether it’s been a friendship or a romantic relationship and it gets me through. I hope people who hear this song know that they are worth more than riches can buy❤️

"Karma" Weren't you the one that said that you don't want me anymore And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me But still you said that love was gone and that I had to leave Now you, talking 'bout a family Now you, saying I complete your dream Now you, saying I'm your everything You're confusing me What you say to me Don't play with me Don't play with me 'Cause what goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back I remember when I was sitting home alone Waiting for you 'Til three o'clock in the morn' And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse Half-explaining to me, like I'm just some kind of a fool I sacrificed the things I want just to do things for you But when it's time to do for me, you never come through Now you, wanna be a part of me (Ay) Now you, have so much to say to me (Hey) Now you, wanna make time for me What you doing to me? You're confusing me Don't play with me Don't play with me 'Cause what goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back I remember when I was sitting home alone Waiting for you 'Til three o'clock in the morn Night after night Knowing something going on Wasn't home before me You was, you was gone Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me Never thought you'd be the one that would deceived me And never do what you was supposed to do No need to approach me boo, 'cause I'm over you 'Cause what goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down Gotta stop trying, to come back to me What goes around, comes around What goes up, must come down It's called karma, baby And it goes around What goes around, comes around What goes up, must comes down Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me

Her, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill....Ciara, Ashanti ❤️❤️❤️

Karma…… is a dish that is served cold this song hits home

As a kid I fell in love with this song 🥰 I loved her

People believe music has gotten worse. What they fail to realize is this kind of quality is rare. She is a unique human being.

I see the broke and rage in her eyes❤ those who have not yet ever loved, have not yet lived..

This lyrics is powerful ❤

Writer, Singer, actress, social actitivis and play the piano, Alicia qualifies as 1 of greatest artist of any era, #realwoman

Its been years and this song is still my jam!!

she still and will always reign as the Queen in the arts of music. She turns a song into a season of my life . Thank you

I love this song

Love the red jumpsuit.The subway performers. And the unveiling of the piano scene. Still on (❤2014) #replay

Alicia keys: "karma" Justin Timberlake: "What goes around comes around"

Alicia be vibin' HARD. RRRREAL HARD!!👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 who thinks she is the "Queen of all music"

Alicia was a baaaaaaad mamma-jamma in that blue jumpsuit! The pink piano, the hair, EVERYTHING!!!

Yep, abusive relationship to a narcissist

03:23 "it's called karma baby..and it goes around" 😚

This song is genius, the beat and lyrics slay! The video did it justice!

Who's here in 2021 listening to this gem 🔥❤

I remember my sister playing this song when I was a kid - now I'm a grown ass man who absolutely loves this lmao #2019

❤️❤️❤️ Best feeling when the right person get what they deserve

If you’re here after 2022 you got GREAT taste in music 😉

Beautiful song. I love the way she sings.

I remember having the diary of alicia keys album and listening to this all the time. Throwbacks feel so good.

This is real music, music that tells a story. Not the same demoralizing woman who shake their behinds as if they want it to break as well as twerking. And or the grotesque cussing, sex, alcohol, drugs, etc. lyrics you hear for years now. Lyrics that have no meaning but to corrupt and criticize.

I'm fine with karma, heaven and hell nowadays. Confident in that.

What a wonderful piece of art from Alicia keys!

Alicia keys was the first artist i was introduced to. i still love her. Plus this is one of my favorite music videos.

This song is still relevant in 2015

fine woman singing about karma = always scary

Dari Negara Indonesia, negara India, negara China, negara Australia dan patners joint : Berterima kasih untuk keluarga, keluarga, pejabat, pejabat luar negeri yang berbaik hati untuk kami semua. Trims dan thanks full. Trims to you and we,are.

Alicia was a childhood favorite and still remains a favorite! 😍💁👑

the part where she wears the blue jumpsuit : this is my favorite alicia keys look ever! she's so beautiful! I ♥

Who’s here in 2024🔥❤️

I remember admiring this woman so much as a child! Her strength and sound - perfection!

Always treat people right, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you have mishandled people in the past, make it right!

The entire comment section is talking about their relationship problems and nobody seems to acknowledge how amazing this instrumental is

A powerful song. Powerful winning attitude ❤

Karma is real....

I love how she looks SO BEAUTIFUL with or WITHOUT makeup.

haven't heard this song since I was like 7. I'm 19 now. enjoying alicia keys on the voice!

She is a great pianist of our time and globe.

I like the remix also. I liked the video bc you actually see her with braids, and her hair blown out, very versatile.

2021 still listening! Even though the pandemic and all!
