It's true when they say the good die young. She was special and had the entire package. I genuinely can't think of a single artist like this today. 80's, 90's and 00's music is some of the best music ever made. I'm glad I got to experience artists like Aaliyah.
My two older sisters, 10 and 11 years older than me, used to play this song all the time back in the early 2000s and I loved it. I'm turning 24 this year and it's still one of my favorite songs of all time. ❤
im turning 25 in may, and i disovered her like 1 month ago and cant stop listening to her, she is now #1 at my spotify most listened artists already xD especially this song and "we need a resolution", she got so good along with Timbaland, such a shame she is gone :(
@@honeyNsunny I'm for real 40 and I agree. It was just a radio song back then but hearing it now is so good. That's cuz I was into hardcore gangster rap which is kind of too much for me now gotta open my mind. That stuff is still good once in awhile but the energy is so dominant and I just want to Jam More these days
Aaliyah is very high on my list of the most beautiful people of the 20th century… I’ve always loved this song and her delicate unpretentious singing style (which more of today’s pop queens should emulate)
This song was the $$it back in 98.Missy & Tmberland productions along with Aaliyah's vocals were out of this world!That little baby sound effect made this song so memorable

My eyes well up with tears every time I listen to Aaliyah it seems like yesterday her first single Back and Forth came out I was 15 years old and I was instantly hooked then this fucking awesome song came out! I can’t believe it’s been almost 29 years since her debut and 21 years since this beautiful sweet gifted woman passed away so suddenly 😢 Her and Lisa (Left Eye) Lopez hit me the hardest, RIP Angels❤
It's that time of the year to remind ourselves why she's not here no more. I remember like it was yesterday it was Sunday I was getting prepared to go to church and my sister broke the news to me that her plane crashed. I couldn't believe it, ruined my whole day. Such a terrible loss at such a young age. Continue to Rest In Love 🥀 Great song 👍👍
Ppl gonna call me crazy, but by the sound of it, Aaliyah & Timbaland pioneered what i personally call "Love Drill". This is what it means when they say "ahead of its time". Miss you big sister. - From Cincinnati OH
As Aaliyah said here in this song... "I hope your responsible"! I'm 34 years old and I was absolutely devastated when her plane went down! 11 years old wishing one day I could have the opportunity to sing with her! I hope she gets justice ❤ Let her beautiful soul rest... I can't wrap my head around all of this now finding out 23 years later.
I still can't believe I spent years trying to find this song, only to find out that she's no longer with us. It's bittersweet to me because she won't make any more music but I'm glad I got to hear some music of hers again

Yes! I love the unpretentious singing style part
I think she was pretty talented but to me she is the same as Missy Elliot. Without those wild Timbo beats they aren't even coming close.
Static Major did his thing on this song. Can hear him all over the hook, adlibs and backup vocals. Man, R.I.P.

One of my favorite songs ever they don't make beats like these anymore
They sure don’t and it’s crazy how this song came out in 1998 this song is so ahead of its time more like 2028
This will never not be my song❤
On of the best songs!❤
I’ll never forget always hearing this growing up lol
Luv this lit hit from wayz back
