"In Common" is a song by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys, recorded for her upcoming sixth studio album, Here. The song was written by Keys, Carlo "Illangelo" Montagnese, Billy Walsh and Taylor Parks, and produced by Illangelo. It is a departure from her R&B sound, having a tropical music and dancehall sound, with Latin beat, Afrobeat instrumental, collage of electronic beats, tropicalia-infused rhythms and icy drum patterns as its main instrumentation. Keys uses a hushed tone during the track. Lyrically, "In Common" talks about a dysfunctional kind of love story, and how the partners are similar, despite their faults.
