Alicia Keys and Beyoncé fans have wondered for far too long why the music video for “Put It in a Love Song” — filmed back in 2010 in Brazil with a Carnival-esque theme — never popped up in their endless (and fruitless) YouTube searches. Speaking to Essence magazine, Alicia Keys finally explains that, “We had a ball shooting the video. It just so happens that the whole thing, for some reason or another, didn’t quite come together so we just decided to leave it.” But leave it where? In Keys’ mansion? At Beyoncé’s palace? Maybe in some random music producer’s file cabinet? At least we know they left it somewhere, so there’s still hope.
