What is unthinkable by Alicia Keys about?

Answer 1

Answer

I think it's about two people who have very strong feelings (possibly a deep and unique love) for each other that each one tries to deny due to circumstances but they cannot ignore the feelings any longer and want to be together. My interpretation is that they are each afraid to do anything about the feelings but they feel the love is so strong and beautiful that they should take the chance anyway.

Answer 2

the video is about her liking a white person in the days when it was not socially acceptable

the song is about her relationship with Swizz beats who was married at the time and Alicia decided to puruse him despite this fact. The unthinkable is the fact that he is married, knows it and for the sake of love they want to be together but she doesnt want anyone to think she is a homewrecker

Answer 3

Her falling in love with a white person when it wasn't acceptable and how everyone reacts.
