Vault Playlist Vol. 1 is an extended play by American recording artist Alicia Keys released on 7 April 2017 on RCA Records.[1] The extended play contains an acoustic version of "No One" (2007) from her third studio album As I Am (2007), a previously unreleased song "A Place to Call My Own", piano version of "If I Ain't Got You" (2004) from her second studio album The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) and "Stolen Moments", which was previously released as a live version on Unplugged (2005) and as a bonus track on Japanese edition of her fourth studio album The Element of Freedom (2009).[2][3][4]

"Place to Call My Own" was premiered at the 2011 IHeartRadio Music Festival, with Keys saying "I've been in the studio working on some new music, and I thought tonight would be the perfect night to play something new for you".[5] James Dinh from MTV News described the song as "an uplifting, piano-driven tune about building up the courage to overcome struggles and find happiness" while Rolling Stone called it "stark, soulful ballad" and "urgent, piano-pounding number".[5][6]
