"Like You'll Never See Me Again" is an R&B–soul song written by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys and American songwriter-producer Kerry Brothers, Jr. for Keys' third studio album, As I Am (2007). Released in November 2007 as the album's second single, the song was first heard on October 25, 2007 on Atlanta's V103 WVEE radio station. Keys performed this song on Good Morning America on November 13, 2007.
The song won two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Music Video and Outstanding Song.
In January 2008, it was used in advertisements for the ABC soap opera All My Children, hyping the return of supercouple Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter. The song was used once again in the February 15, 2008 episode of the series, when the couple was reunited after twenty years.
A remix of the song featuring rapper Ludacris exists.

[edit] Music video
The video, directed by Diane Martel, features cameos by Common (with whom Keys had previously worked with in the 2007 motion picture Smokin' Aces) as Keys' love interest who is critically injured in a motorcycle accident and Keys' mother Terri Augello as a hospital medic. It tells the story backwards, and the viewer learns that the couple had been arguing. The video premiered on November 13 on MTV's Total Request Live and BET's 106 & Park. It debuted at number two on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown on February 23, 2008.

[edit] Chart performance
"Like You'll Never See Me Again" debuted at number thirty-seven on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, jumping to number twenty-two in its second week, number fifteen in its third week, and to then number nine in its fourth. After climbing to number three in its fifth week, the song reached number two in its sixth week, and then rose to number one in its ninth week, beating off Keys' own song "No One"—this made Keys to become the second artist since the R&B chart began using Nielsen SoundScan data in 1992 to succeed herself at number one, as "Like You'll Never See Me Again" jumped from number two to number one and traded places with "No One", which had ruled the chart for ten weeks. Rapper Nelly accomplished this feat in 2002 with "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma".[2] On the Billboard Hot 100, it debuted at number ninety-three, jumped to number forty-five in its second week, and subsequently peaked at number twelve.
"Like You'll Never See Me Again" was released on February 25, 2008 in the UK, peaking at number fifty-three, while "No One" was a non-mover at number twenty-six. It became her lowest-charting single there so far.
In Australia, it debuted at number forty-four on the Physical Singles Chart and number nineteen on the Urban Singles Chart the week of April 14, 2008.
