"Alicia Keys has revealed the inspiration behind her performance at US President Barack Obama&amp;#039;s inauguration ball. The &amp;#039;Girl On Fire&amp;#039; star reworked her recent hit to sing &amp;#039;Obama&amp;#039;s On Fire&amp;#039; at The Commander in Chief&amp;#039;s Ball on January 21 to celebrate the start of his second term in office.   &amp;quot;That was just me being silly because I like to have fun like that and also it was just me on the piano so I wanted to do something kind of special, unique and just have a good time,&amp;quot; Keys told Capital FM. &amp;quot;I mean, it&amp;#039;s a festive environment, it&amp;#039;s a really incredible moment so I just figured this would be cute.&amp;quot; Asked if Obama enjoyed her performance, she joked: &amp;quot;They told me they&amp;#039;re going to play it everyday as the President rises. No, I&amp;#039;m kidding, I don&amp;#039;t know, but I like it!  &amp;quot;It was incredible, just a really proud moment to be a part of a really historic time in America, and what I look forward to being another really great, progressive four years. &amp;quot;It was a big celebration I think, the whole city, the energy was outrageous and I was able to perform at all three inaugural balls. Just give some love and excitement to a new day, that it is.&amp;quot; Watch Alicia Keys perform &amp;#039;Obama&amp;#039;s On Fire&amp;#039; below:      Barack Obama&amp;#039;s inauguration pictures - Katy Perry, John Mayer, Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
