NEW YORK (WABC) -- Alicia Keys is sending a powerful message with her newest song that can serve as an anthem for our essential workers.

"You're doing a good job, don't get too down, the world needs you now, know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah," she sings.

Keys says she originally wrote "Good Job" months ago as a tribute to the unsung heroes in her own life.
