What Parents Need to Know
About As I Am
Parents need to know that the song "Teenage Love Affair" does talk about physical intimacy in terms of "bases," but this girl puts on the brakes at third base. There's some innuendo in tracks like "Wreckless Love" and "Like You'll Never See Me Again," but nothing explicit. Keys also talks about the importance of inner strength and being who you are.

Families Can Talk About
