Chasing your dream? Alicia Keys<\/a><\/strong> has the anthem for you. <\/p>\n

The 15-time Grammy-winning songstress has just dropped the latest single off her upcoming seventh studio album, ALICIA<\/em>,<\/a> powerfully titled, “Underdog.” On the track, which was reportedly co-written by Ed Sheeran<\/a><\/strong>, the songstress pays tender and encouraging tribute to the people fighting to get by and pursuing their aspirations<\/p>\n

“I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop\/Single mothers waiting on a check to come\/Young teachers, student doctors\/Sons on the front line knowing they don’t get to run,” the lyrics play out. “This goes out to the underdog\/Keep on keeping at what you love\/You’ll find that someday soon enough\/You will rise up, rise up, yeah.”<\/p>\n

The star’s song also serves as a touching reminder to pay mindful attention to others, if only for a passing moment. “One conversation, a simple moment\/The things that change us if we notice\/When we look up sometimes,” Keys sings. <\/p>\n

In the accompanying video, also released on Thursday, a mix of scenes play out, including of one man selling CDs roadside, young girls all dressed up being driven to their prom and a woman returning to youngsters at home. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Some people may think of the word underdog as a negative word, but I see it as a powerful word representing people who may be underestimated and yet still rise to the challenge and exceed expectations,” the star told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> in a statement. “I love this song so much because it’s about real life and real people and our experiences. We’ve all been in a place in our lives where we’ve had to defy the odds. It’s never easy.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

If there are any lyrics to memorize from Key’s new song, let it be one of her favorites: “They said I would never make it\/But I was built to break the mold.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
