By far, one of my top 10 slow jams EVER, I was blown away when I first heard this track, it's sooooo good. I'm surprised my girl didn't win a grammy for Best R&B vocal performance or Best R&B song for this song, it's so COOL  Real smooth, true R&B. |

This song would be better if it wasn't so slow.

Her vocals were really good on this track. u dont have to sound like you are in the church chior to give a good vocal performance. Using what u have to the best of your ability is what makes a good vocal performance. |

One of the hottest R&B cuts of the 90s. Aaliyah is responsible for changing the R&B sound after 96.

One of the hottest R&B cuts of the 90s. Oooh! This song takes me back to middle school. Everybody at my middle school was OBSESSED with Aaliyah, especially with her dancing! RIP Baby Girl...you are truly missed. :'( |

This is her greatest song, and one of Timbaland's best productions.

This is one of Aaliyah's best. Timbaland & Missy did their thing with the production and songwriting. Surprisingly, this didn't chart on the official Hot 100 because it was airplay only. The remix features Ginuwine. Here's the video for the remix. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXmQpyzfKzk |

Excellent track which exemplifies Aaliyah's sultry sound. Aaliyah + Timbaland + Missy Elliot = Magic. Those three worked incredibly well together. The cricket chirps, heavy bass line and Aaliyah's smooth delivery really make this track.

One of my all-time favorites songs. It really got me interested in Aaliyah musically.

Aaliyah was a great singer, even though her voice was soft and she didn't hit the highest notes.
This is my favorite song ever. Everything about this song is epic....the production, lyrics, the vocals.

I'm in one of my vintage Missy/Timbo moods. Here's the video: I wasn't aware of this version of the Timbaland remix. It has a rap verse by Missy, extra adlibs by Ginuwine, and added instrumentation in the intro and the end. The Darkchild remix sounds like any other contemporary R&B record at the time. |

Why can't this be on iTunes/Spotify???? I have all of her albums on CD, but it's not the same. Her legacy is getting lost except for her first album. :(

Timbaland's best production. I remember buying this album and the bass literally threw the speakers on the floor.

Her voice is beautiful on the track but ultimately its the production that took to the next level.

Real smooth, true R&B.
