At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, Girl on Fire won Best R&B Album, making Keys the most awarded artist in this category, with three wins.
To further promote the album, Keys embarked on her fifth worldwide concert tour, titled Set the World on Fire Tour, which commenced in March 2013 and ended in December. It produced five singles–" Girl on Fire" (which peaked at number two on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100), " Brand New Me", " New Day", " Fire We Make" (featuring Maxwell), and " Tears Always Win". The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 159,000 copies sold in its first week. Upon its release, Girl on Fire received generally positive reviews from music critics. It features a largely minimalist production, includes piano-driven songs and balances traditional R&B with atypical chords and melodic changes. The album is an R&B album with elements of different musical styles, including rock, electro, reggae and hip hop. It was released on November 22, 2012, being Keys' first release with RCA Records following Sony Music Entertainment's decision to close J Records during a company reshuffle. Girl on Fire is the fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys.
