Doesn't really sound dated today. Actually, I heard it on the radio the other day and it still sounds fresher than most of the current songs on the radio. LOL

This is the song that got me really interested in Aaliyah. I love the message it gives out - if you don't succeed at first, try again. And the video is also very memorable with the mirrors and great choreography.

This is fantastic. Aaliyah was a fantastic medium for Timbo to channel his energy through.

Such an amazing futuristic record that transcended its time. It would honestly fit into radio right now if it was released today.

Still a jam. Sounds just as hot as it did when it was first released. Usually I hate it when Timbo talks or raps on his own productions (like seriously, when is Justin finally going to tell him to shut the hell up?) This is one of the few times it worked, that intro is hot.

"Try Again" is my #1 favorite song from Aaliyah and Timbo. Hell, it's my #1 favorite Timbo beat. I love everything about the song. It's dark, futuristic and timeless. Aaliyah's voice is the perfect fit.
I can't believe it's almost 15 years old. It takes me back to middle school.

This song is so good, I hear it a lot on my local station. The bridge is amazing, and the Timbaland intro too.

It's a neverending travesty that this song isn't available to stream or download. It was the first Billboard Hot 100 #1 with only radio points!
I *dusted off* the Romeo Must Die soundtrack while working on some things and this song still slays to this day.

I heard this often on B96 and WGCI in my market. One of her best 2000/2001 songs though my all-time favorite of hers is "Back and Forth".

Both the song and its music video are amazing.
I'm glad the song was included in the French edition of the album I bought, it makes a great closing track.

sounds incredibly fresh for being over 20 years old, Timbaland was so ahead of his time
