Alicia Keysrealizes she had the answers all along.
“A lot of times we’re all searching for someone else to have all the answers. I definitely was and once I realized that no one else has the answers except me, I could just feel, you know, confident in myself,” Keys, 40, tells PEOPLE.

Despite her successes, Keys gets candid in the docuseries about feeling powerless at times throughout her career — and says that though she’s remained true to herself, she’s still learned a lot in the process.
“Definitely am not trying to discredit that I have totally remained true to myself. More that I’ve learned more about that I could even be stronger for myself,” she says.
At one point, Keys asks him if he had any regrets.
To this, he responds “Yeah I do. My relationship with you” — and the “Girl on Fire” singer admits she’s grateful he was able to open up.
“I especially felt grateful that he was able to say I should’ve been able to show up. ‘Not only for you, but for your mother.’ It gave me a sense of almost an apology. Almost being able to acknowledge these things that happened and we move forward from them,” Keys says of their relationship.
Last month, Keysfirst released the trailerto her docuseries exclusively with PEOPLE. The trailer offered viewers an inside look at what it has to offer: meaningful performances, memories and conversations Keys has had with family, friends and collaborators — and an insight into her world.
“When I’m making music, I’m exposing all of my secrets, and I’m very uncomfortable being exposed — but I guess not so much anymore,” the Grammy-winner said in the opening of the clip.
