Another classic from the Aaliyah album. I remember getting goose bumps the first time I heard this. It was the same feeling when I heard "One In A Million". This song could've easily been released yesterday and it'll smash. Static brought out the best in Aaliyah on this album and it's unfortunate both have passed.
Another fact: according to one of the producers (Rapture) this was supposed to be a the first single until Tim banged out "We Need A Resolution".

Excellent. One of the highlights from that album and one of my favorite non-singles by her.

So f**king smooth, the production is ace. Should have been a single IMO. I love how this has so much attitude lyrically, but her vocal is so cool and collected.

I've always gotten Janet teas from this through and through.

This song is so ahead of its time. Aaliyah and Static complimented each other so well. It's always been a standout on the album.
I think this would've been a multiformat smash back then. The song has a pop edge to it.

Love this so much, and totally agree with all the Aaliyah + Static love. Their songs together were my favorite on the album.

I love the dark vibe of the song. It's one of the tracks I listen to the most.
