Alicia and Swizz welcomed their first child together, Egypt in October of last year and married just before had in an intimate wedding in July.

Alicia added: "In the past, I've written mostly from my own perspective. But I just wrote a song for my next album that was inspired by a conversation that I had with a man who was expressing how indebted he feels to God."

"As much as I believe in God, for me that translated into how much I owe my mother for who I am. So I went home and I wrote 'I Owe You.' It's dedicated to her."
