This song was a borderline flop, but it is still one of my favorite Aaliyah singles. I've never understood why it didn't perform better -- especially coming on the heels of "Try Again." Even though I ordinarily hate DMX, I think he and Aaliyah had great chemistry on this record: Kind of like she and Treach did on "A Girl Like You." This was a very cool, laid-back yet kinda playful track. It was years before I realized that this wasn't a Timbaland production: It was from Irv Gotti(!). Anyway, I can honestly say that I am a fan of just about all of Aaliyah's singles. Here's the video for this one. US Hot 100: 117 US R&B: #36  |

It's okay. I saw VH1 Soul play it yesterday.

Loved this when it first came out. In fact the album was one of the better soundtracks of the day

I like this a lot. I agree that the Romeo Must Die Soundtrack had some pretty good songs, especially the ones contributed by Aaliyah.

This was a single from the "Romeo Must Die" soundtrack. It sampled Parliament's "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (Pay Attention - B3M)." It failed to make the Hot 100 and peaked at #36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Love the sample. THAT BASELINE!! I also like the juxtaposition of Aaliyah's light voice and DMX's rough voice on the track.

I didn't like this when it was out, but I enjoy it now. Still one of her weakest singles though.

Loved this ghetto BOP!!! No one talks bout this song but it was a TOTAL JAM! Me too. I really enjoy DMX's rap. He's certainly a character by himself. :kii: |

Ugh, so sad. This is such a great song. I pray they are both at peace and making beautiful music together.

It's underrated in both of their catalogues. I've always enjoyed it.

I don't listen to it much, but I've liked it ever since I became an Aaliyah fan around ten or so years ago. RIP to both. :(
