"How Come You Don't Call Me", the album's third single, was a cover of the Prince song of the same name.
The final single, "Girlfriend", was released only in Europe and Canada, but not in the United States.
"Butterflyz" was not a single, but is notable as being the first song Keys ever wrote, at age 14.
The album's second single, "A Woman's Worth", and the massive debut single, "Fallin'", are the album's songs that are most remembered by the general public.
