Memiliki kecenderungan mirip dengan single sebelumnya, 'Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart', Alicia Keys mencoba untuk membuat album 'The Element of Freedom' happening lagi lewat single berikutnya yaitu 'Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)' yang sudah menyerbu radio dan televisi sedari April. Dentuman drum yang berulang-ulang dari awal hingga akhir lagu yang paling membuat lagu ini berkesan. Dan Miss Keys memadukannya dengan permainan piano. Kondisi standar sekaligus terbaiknya.
Un-thinkable ini mengisahkan tentang meningkatkan hubungan ke tingkat berikutnya. Ini ditandai dengan beberapa lirik yang menjurus pada tujuan tersebut, seperti "it's becoming something that's impossible to ignore", "this is exactly how it should feel", dan juga "won't you come be in the sky with me". Tergolong berani untuk ungkapan dari seorang cewek. Untuk versi album, lagu ini menampilkan sedikit penampilan rapper Drake sebagai penyanyi latar. Minim sih kedengaran suara Drake-nya, seperti 'You should say right now' di penghabisan verse pertama. Dan untuk memperbesar penampilan Drake, lagu ini diremix dengan tambahan rap di awal lagunya. Durasinya nambah sekitar 30 menitan, pokoknya jadi lebih berwarna dech.
Video klip untuk lagu ini sudah ditayangkan lewat VEVO dan BET di pertengahan Mei disutradarai oleh Jake Nava yang baru pertama ini menangani videonya Keys. Miss Keys tampil sangat cantik disitu. Dan bintang video klipnya adalah Chad Michael Murray. Inilah saatnya untuk menyaksikan videonya sekaligus menikmati single hari ini, 'Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)'.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
(Drake: You should say it right now)
You ready?
Bridge:
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
(Drake: I deserve it, I think it deserve it..Let it go)
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
(Drake: I can't take it)
Chorus-Alicia & Drake:
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
Verse 2:
I know you once said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
If we gon' do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(Drake: We should do it right now)
Bay, uh
Bridge:
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
(Drake: I deserve it, I know I deserve it. Let it go)
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It's what we make it
(Drake: It's what we make it)
Chorus-Alicia & Drake:
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready)
Yeah, sing...
Hook:
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
Chorus-Alicia & Drake:
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
