Static Major did his thing on this song. Can hear him all over the hook, adlibs and backup vocals. Man, R.I.P.
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)
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. ❤
Today, January 16th, is Aaliyah's birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday Aaliyah.🎂❤🕊
Baby girl still stays untouchable after 23 years!
I really appreciate how soulful and smooth Aaliyah’s voice is, the way she slides on such a hip hop beat and sounds so pretty
Fun fact: this song was written, produced, sung, recorded, and mastered in less than 4 hours.
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
Bro this actually hits hard… kinda bummed that some kids won’t know this type music tho
Her voice sure does hypnotize my soul
TIM WAS IN HIS BAG ON THIS BEAT !

This song does it for me every time…Puts the happy right back in my heart. This song will never get old. Thank you and rest in Heaven Aaliyah!!!
I was in love with you Aaliyah since i first saw you on mtv back when i was 15 years old.
I’ve been listening to this since it came out in the 90’s BUT I like that TikTok gives her (and a lot of people/songs) a whole new generation of fans ❤️🔥
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
Aaliyah's music will always be iconic forever 💯✨🎧🎶 Rest in peace Aaliyah thank you Aaliyah is always one in a million 🕊️🙏💔
I’m 16, I love Aaliyah and I hope kids in my generation will soon to see this type this music . ❤
I'm 43, and this song still beats.
