What If may refer to:
What If, sometimes rendered as What If...?, is a series of comic books published by Marvel Comics whose stories explore how the Marvel Universe might have unfolded if key moments in its history hadn't occurred as they did in mainstream continuity. What If comics have been published in eleven series (volumes).
The stories of the inaugural series (1977–1984) feature the alien Uatu the Watcher as a narrator. From his base on the moon, Uatu observes both the Earth and alternate realities.
Most What If stories begin with Uatu describing an event in the mainstream Marvel Universe, then introducing a point of divergence in that event and then describing the consequences of the divergence. Uatu was used similarly in the second series (1989–1998) until a point where, in the Fantastic Four comic book, Uatu was punished for destroying another Watcher. This made the use of Uatu improbable so the character was phased out to its last appearance in issue #76. Without a framing device, the stories themselves became the focus.

Only, on July 12, 2011, the song was included on her third studio album All of You. Gary Graff wrote for Billboard that "it's hard to not appreciate the smooth craft of the song".

[Verse 1]
(What if) what if I never slept around, never cheated on you girl
(What if) what if I didn’t break your heart and never ever ruined you world
(What if) what if I always was a real man, faced you face to face told you the truth?
(What if) what If I never ever tripped when you said you wanted to go out and hang with your crew?
(What if) what if I was a different man, than I was?
(What if) what if I wasn’t so selfish and took one second just to listen to you
(What if) what if I was alone? On my own
(What if) what if I wasn’t so damn controlling, you would still be right here
[Chorus]
We would still be together, be together, be together right now [3x]
We would still be together, we would still be together girl
[Verse 2]
(What if) what if I didn’t have lame excuses for all the stuff that I do?
(What if) what if I had no baby mommas, no damn drama and I never brought it around you
(What if) what if never called you out your name and treated you like you were my queen
(What if) what if I woke up from this madness and this shit was just a dream
(What if) what if I really went to work and didn't spend a whole day creeping?
(What if) what if you were at the beauty shop and you didn’t hear about me last week?
(What if) what if you ever asked me a question and I didn't stut-stut-stutter all of the time?
(What if) what if I wasn’t so damn controlling, you would stiiiill
[Chorus]
(What if) what if I never said I do when I do that I wasn’t ready for you
(What if) what if I gave a damn to my church and did to get off in the VIP
[Chorus]
We would still be together girl
