"Unbreakable" is a soul-R&B song written by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys, American rapper-producer Kanye West, and Harold Lilly for Keys' live album, "Unplugged" (2005). Produced by West and Keys, it features a Wurlitzer riff and samples Eddie Kendricks' 1978 song "Intimate Friends" written by Garry Glenn. It was released as the album's lead single in 2005 and peaked at number twenty-one on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100, becoming Keys' first single to miss the top twenty since 2002's "How Come You Don't Call Me" and failed to peak inside the top forty on "Billboard" Pop 100. It was however a big success on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number four.

The lyrics mention names of notable couples Ike and Tina Turner, Bill and Camille Cosby, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham, Florida and James Evans, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Kimora Lee and Russel Simmons, and Joe and Catherine Jackson, as well as The Jackson 5.
