Will Alicia Keys collaborate with BTS? Truth behind wild rumors after Grammy winner's viral 'Life Goes on' cover

The singer posted the video of the beautiful Piano cover on Twitter with the caption, 'Can ya’ll guess this?'

Alicia Keys has dropped a surprise for her fans and the BTS Army when she chose to cover a track of the popular K-pop group's latest album BE’s title track ‘Life Goes On’. The Grammy-winning singer posted the video of the beautiful Piano cover on Twitter with the caption, “Can ya’ll guess this??”

Twitter users immediately pointed out how respectful it was of Alicia Keys since the ‘Fallin’ singer had looked up the translation of the Korean lyrics of the songs before singing and didn’t change any meaning of it. BTS Army applauded Keys’ take and her stunning vocals in the 49-second clip. BTS even retweeted the video.

A BTS fan posted, “this is so beautiful and i love how you didn't change the meaning of their original lyrics. Thank you so much. Tearing up right now.” While another fan posted, “life goes on — bts !! you have such a beautiful, soulful voice which is perfect for this song. Thank you for covering it!!” A fan shared, “Alicia Keys sings BTS song. Feels like a dream came true for me, especially when it was a korean song.” A fan asked BTS to see the cover saying, “This’s so delightful to hear, so beautiful. Thank you for covering it, I loved it. You put a little of your style on it to make perfect, even more than it already was. The piano sound was so on point that it made me feel relax. Thank so much for this.  @BTS_twt pls see this”.

Internet is once again asking for a BTS x Alicia Keys collab gushing over how beautiful it would turn out to be. A fan posted, “Who else is ready for an @aliciakeys and @BTS_twt collab????” Another said, “alicia keys been talking abt bts a lot lately in conclusion i am indeed getting a collab.” A fan said,  “You have such a beautiful voice Alicia. It was a pleasure listening to you when I was growing up. Collab w the kings @BTS_twt”.

A fan also pointed out the thoughtfulness of Keys’ act stating, “there is a deep irony in Alicia Keys taking the time to read LGO's lyrics and clearly base her English rendition off of them, only for the unqualified White man who reviewed their album for Rolling Stone to not even recognize that's what she did because he didn't do his research.” The user was referring to a recent incident where the BTS Army pointed out that a reviewer of ‘BE’ had done it without reading proper translations of it. Journalist Lenika Cruz posted, “not at a grammy-winning artist reading lyric translations to cover a song by grammy-nominated artists.”

Alicia Keys and BTS actually share a beautiful friendship that the fans can’t get enough of. Recently before the day of ‘BE’s release, BTS member V posted a clip of Keys’ music ‘Love Looks Better’ which the singer retweeted hyping BTS’ next release. Since then, the BTS Army has been demanding a collab between the Grammy-nominated group and the multiple Grammy-winning singer.
