After opening up to Billboard about new music video is revolving around through a behind-the-scene footage, the piano-friendly pop star Alicia Keys finally released a music video for her latest new single "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" earlier Tuesday on BET's "106 & Park."

The melodic ballad and penultimate song was produced by Jeff Bhasker and was released late October as the second single from her upcoming fourth studio album, "The Element of Freedom," scheduled to be released on December 15.

It features Keys as a woman with healing powers which brings consequence of not able to touch anyone. Keys takes on humanity and tries flying in a purple catsuit." The clip finds Keys playing an "X-Men"-esque superhero whose powers leave her unable to touch the man she loves. She rolls around in bed, shimmies in a stairwell, then heads off to various parts of the city to do heroic deeds? such as healing a little girl's hurt dog in the street! She eventually ends up shaking her booty on top of a building in said one-sleeved catsuit until she confronts the gentleman who we're to assume is the villain causing this super diva's broken heart. Speaking of the video, recently, Keys said "It basically pictures the movie "Hancock" or the character Rogue from "X-Men" and the way that they have an incredible power that is a blessing but also their curse."

Drake is also recruited to lend his vocal on the album and Beyonce Knowles is rumored to make contribution. Keys performed the song at New York University's Skirball Center for Pepsi Music, and also performed it on "Dancing With The Stars." She will performance on Sunday's American Music Awards.
