I'm 34. I was devastated even at 11 when she died. 23 years later, I'm a metal head but I always make sure she's on my playlist. Half these artists wouldn't be anything if she was still around.
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 :(
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)
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 ❤️🔥
Same here...mixed thoughts. Like yeah, they are getting exposed to stuff they might not otherwise, but most kids seem not to actually check out these songs in full
I remember hearing this song in the car while my parents did their errands in 1998. I also remember hearing the news about Aaliyah's passing coming home from my aunt's house that summer. Kids today won't even understand or know anything about Aaliyah's songs
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
This song literally has everything. The beat goes hard. Aaliyah beautiful self and her singing and a catchy hook. Timberland with his adlibs and his verse was good too lol. They made great music together. Aaliyah will always be my favorite.
u aint gon cop any props for tha squealing baby sample smdh? 😒😒😒 its inclusion in tha beat elevates it unironically from merely a dope song 2 a work of legit art 💯💯💯
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
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
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❤
1st song i listen to her was Try Again, then i searched more of her music and bought her albums (no internet back then). A year after she passed away and ngl i felt like something has been ripped out of my life. RIP Aaliyah you were more than a woman.
I’ve known Aaliyah for 6 months now. I never knew her before until I identified this song and then my parents knew her for a very long time. This song was made in 1998! Which is obviously a super long time
RIP AALIYAH AKA BABY GIRL, TODAY IS THE 21ST ANNIVERSARY OF HER PASSING & SHE WILL ALWAYS BE "ONE IN A MILLION" & HAD AN EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL VOICE/FACE....GONE TOO SOON/BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!💋❣💯🤩🤩😍😍🥰

Much thanks to static major
Wow This is amazing

😢 truly miss her good dancer
Same. I always loved this lady. Shes so special ❤
I’m 30.. she’s still IT 💜
God bless yall!
I cried for the longest
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.
let’s see who’s here in 2023-2024
Always listening baby girl
Me
🫡
Always at age 9 I cried during her passing and how sketchy it was and still is.
Me
The baby in the background gets me every time
Same-
I always thought that there was a baby in the house growing up….I’m an only child
FRR😂😂
It's why after 15 years I'm hearing this song again.. I've had a baby. And he just made that noise..
@@brittneyc.brookes1455their language 🥰
Stevie many years earlier baby
Bro this actually hits hard… kinda bummed that some kids won’t know this type music tho
@@choijun829 good music disappeared? Some great albums came out this year
Fuckbois and thots who think they entitled to everything don’t understand the real meaning of love and attachment. They just want to fuck n go
@@choijun829 Adele? Ed Sheeran? James Bay?
They won't know this era of music. 80s n 90s kids had it best
They do. The only reason you came here is because it got popular again.
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. ❤

Lol yall2000s kids missed it. I experienced Aaliyah full before she passed. Good times
@@GangNewEra this is good old school
Same hear ❤💫
@@selenaquintanilla3404 this isn’t old school, but damn 24 is a baby…
Her voice sure does hypnotize my soul
Me too
😂😂😂
Thissss! Yes!
Yep
Aaliyah was the best... She's more legendary than Beyonce.
For sure! Happy you see it
beyoncé sucks like shit tbh she could only dream of having even a quarter of queen aaliyahs talent
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)
I agree highly 🌹
She was my first celebrity crush in Queen of the Damned!
Yeah yeah whoa whoa baby I need to know ow
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.
TIM WAS IN HIS BAG ON THIS BEAT !
It got a abad beat to it
@@phatgirl2121your brain ain’t working too well is it ?
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 ❤️🔥

İ feel more like tik tok is destroying the songs for me very cringy to watch
Same here...mixed thoughts. Like yeah, they are getting exposed to stuff they might not otherwise, but most kids seem not to actually check out these songs in full
Tik tok should be outlawed globally like every social media
That's only reason why I like TikTok. Because of that.
Static Major did his thing on this song. Can hear him all over the hook, adlibs and backup vocals. Man, R.I.P.
I was in love with you Aaliyah since i first saw you on mtv back when i was 15 years old.
OOOOOO dam do you still like her ☺
@@hevelynfuentes1070 yes. It's sad that i never got see her in person, i got here to late.
@@memphisreines4058 oh ok
Only celebrity that I ever loved.
Same fam, same
I’m 16, I love Aaliyah and I hope kids in my generation will soon to see this type this music . ❤
Girl what
@@pariss3921 it’s self explanatory.. there’s not much to really say what to.
ew.
I’m 29 I grew up listening to Aaliyah I can say she is very beautiful R.I.P. babygirl ❤
But this was before your time not hating just acknowledging that young shorties have good taste 😊
I remember hearing this song in the car while my parents did their errands in 1998. I also remember hearing the news about Aaliyah's passing coming home from my aunt's house that summer. Kids today won't even understand or know anything about Aaliyah's songs
Facts same here I first heard this song In the car back in 98 my mom was buying me McDonald’s
I'm 43, and this song still beats.
i'll be your age soon, october child here
Yeah 40 .. born 1982 .. still jamming
🙌🏾
I was 15 when this came out I’m 41 now and this still hits hard after 25 years RIP Aaliyah
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
One of Aaliyah most classic songs! #Always will bump this! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Amen
Omg finally!! UA-cam IS a time machine. So glad i finally found this musical Gem!! My neighbors about to be annoyed at this replay 😭😭😂
This song literally has everything. The beat goes hard. Aaliyah beautiful self and her singing and a catchy hook. Timberland with his adlibs and his verse was good too lol. They made great music together. Aaliyah will always be my favorite.

this one will never die down
Here in 2024
Love this song and love Aaliyah! I was so bummed when she passed.
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!!!
They sure don't make em like Aaliyah anymore. Rest in power queen ❤
Aaliyah was one of the best singers ever only the good die young such a kind soul it even reflects in her voice she's my idol for life
Beautiful same!💯
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
Boy ain't that right you in the same boat I was my heart dropped just to find out she was no longer with us man I'm getting old

She's been gone for almost 20 years I believe 🤔

The baby’s laugh actually goes with the beat. Not even the ahh, Aahhah. The little hehehe after enhances it.
Back when music was still good😢

513❤❤ and I agree
You mean the UK genre drill?
@@noranjoku7651 definitely. I'm just saying that due to Timbaland using certain sound elements, the beat had a drill feel to it.
God i miss this group especially Aliyah. This music lives forever!

This track production was ahead of it’s time! 🔥🔥🔥 to think this track came out around the boys is mine crazy
Still rocking the whole world from the heavens, miss you babygirl🖤 a true and beautiful artist gone too soon
Aaliyah ma fav singer 😝😩😩💯💯❤️🔥❤️🔥💗💗
If the kids today think the 90's songs were garbage,present this song to them so it can mind flip their changes by the end of this track.
Wow 20+ years ago riding in the back of the bus on my way to "high"school..
Dame I'm old and she'll always be young
2024 all the way till the world blows. 🔥 Aaliyah.❤️
🥹Awe, the baby laughing always makes me smile whenever I hear it.
trademark of timberland beats bro sounds good thou
Every song by Aaliyah, is my favourite song by Aaliyah 💕💕💖🖤 🌹
At a time when Timbaland beats were on a totally different level! Miss these days. RIL Babygirl Aaliyah
My favourite hits " may god bless her soul❤aaliyah
I’ve actually heard this song multiple times from my mom’s cd collection before I eventually found the title from an instagram reel LMAO
It literally took me 2 years to finally find the title of this song and it was because my mom started playing it in there car again lmao
I would like to thank my dad for constantly playing this song and others like it in the car in the city at night
Your dad knows beautiful music!!!
RIP The godess! I still worship her after 20 years.
Me too
OMG the best singer ever. She is definitely missed😢😢
Why does it sound so good?!
I used to sing and dance to this with my sister. Good times❤️
1st song i listen to her was Try Again, then i searched more of her music and bought her albums (no internet back then). A year after she passed away and ngl i felt like something has been ripped out of my life. RIP Aaliyah you were more than a woman.
she always ate🙏🏼
Always Bumpin this tune, always relevant, always on my mind.
I love u mommi 😘
We love you girl. Princess of R&B. Everyone else better fall back.
She was absolutely gorgeous 🤩😍
I'm glad I got experience this era 96 97 & 98 were the best eras in music
Damm bro you was late to the era
99 too
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
born in 2010 and my mom raised me with this music
I used to listen to this when I was a little young child and loved it, and i finally found what the name was, I’m so happy 😭
Legends never die Aaliyah we will miss you .your inspiration thank you for being amazing rip I literally wearing you on my shirt❤🎉😂 I love you❤
I'm in June 26 2024 btw
Love that baby sound. 🥰
So talented such a hard loss. The world lost a great person 😢
This song is so good rip the queen
Reminds me of my older sisters.. damn I wish days were like that still.. we all drifted and got kids of our own.
I remember the first time I heard this song, it just sounded so otherworldly
I miss her she is in a better place 😢
My one top aaliyah song Number 10 Try Again
I’ll never forget always hearing this growing up lol
The beat is just fire 🔥
I thank my mom for my old school music taste
I wonder how the baby they sampled for this song is doing.
R.I.P Aaliyah 😭😭😭
💯😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
RIP Princess Of RNB ❤️🌹
Rest in heavenly peace Aayliah ❤️
I love this song all these years later in my mid-30’s, & yet I find myself equally enjoying that babbling baby I’ve never noticed 😂🙏
I’ve known Aaliyah for 6 months now. I never knew her before until I identified this song and then my parents knew her for a very long time. This song was made in 1998! Which is obviously a super long time
Still jammin to baby girl ❤️ 2021
Would have absolutely loved a collaboration between Aaliyah and HER or Ella Mai
Always slapping her music till I die aliyah is the GOAT
I can remember far back early 80s when was about eight to twelve years old when you came to Jackson when they use to have those outdoor concert .

Boy, I've been watching you like the hawk in the sky
That fly, but you were my prey (my prey)
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days (days)
We gon' hook it up probably we talk on the phone
But see, I don't know if that's good
I've been holdin' back this secret from you
I probably shouldn't tell it, but
If I, if I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody?
Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block, while everyone's sleep? (Sleep, sleep)
I'll be waiting there with my trench, my locs, my hat
Just so I'm low-key
If you tell the world (don't speak, you know that would be weak)
Oh, boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn't let you but
If I, if I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
Baby girl (uh-huh), I'm the man from the big VA (what?)
Won't you come play 'round my way? (Uh-huh)
And listen to what I gotta say (uh-huh)
Timbaland (what?), don't you know I am the man? (Uh-huh)
Rock shows here to Japan (what?)
Have people shaking-shaking my hand (what?)
Baby girl, better known as Aaliyah (Aaliyah)
Give me goosebumps and high fevers (high fevers)
Makin' player haters believers (believers)
Don't you know (what?)
Gotta tell somebody (why?), 'cause
'Cause I really need somebody (uh-huh)
Tell me you're that somebody (say what?)
If I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
