Girl on Fire is the fifth studio album by American recording artist
Alicia Keys. The album, which was released on November 22, 2012, is Keys' first release with
RCA Records following
Sony Music Entertainment's decision to close
J Records during a company reshuffle.
Girl on Fire was conceived shortly after Keys' marriage to
record producer and rapper
Swizz Beatz as well as the birth of her first child, Egypt. It is an
R&B album with a mixture of conventional genre songs and piano ballads, some of which touch on Keys' marriage and motherhood.
