"A Woman's Worth" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys for her debut studio album Songs in A Minor (2001). A soul-R&B ballad, it was written by Keys and Erika Rose and produced by Keys. The song was released as the second single from Songs in A Minor on September 25, 2001, by J Records, following the worldwide success of her debut single "Fallin'".
"A Woman's Worth" became another top-ten success for Keys in the United States, where it reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Chris Robinson, is a continuation of the video for "Fallin'" video and explores what happened when Keys' on-screen love interest got released from prison and tried to acclimate to society. The video was nominated for both Best R&B Video and Best Cinematography at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, while the song won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Song the same year.
