Another great Aaliyah single that's title left her internet fanbase puzzled in the weeks before the AOL 1st Listen. Anyway it went on to become one of her biggest hits, reaching #1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart, #3 on the Hot 100 and Top 10 on the Rhythmic & Pop charts.
It peaked at #2 on my personal chart (I think it was blocked by TLC or Matchbox 20?) but spent an outstanding 21 weeks in the Top 10.

I loved it upon first listen, thought it was okay for a couple months, then got sick of it. The remix is awful.

I liked it at first, but it's still pretty bland. I'm not a big fan of Aaliyah's music.

I didn't like it at first, then it grew on me, but then I got sick of it quick.
It peaked at #28 on my personal chart.

Stupid bird noises ruined this song for me. On AT40's Top 100 of the year, Casey mentioned that this was the first of two songs back to back with animal noises in it. The next song was "Work It" which had the sound of an elephant trumpeting over the word "ass". I find the birds in this song annoying, too. I remember the song "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton had the sound of birds chirping in the background, but at least they weren't dubbed in with the beat of the song, like the birds in this song are.

Aaliyah's worst single IMO. It's a shame this performed so much better than most of the material she released when she was alive, not to mention the other singles that were released after she died. "Rock The Boat," "More Than A Woman," and "I Care 4 U" were all superior and should have done better than this chartwise.

I enjoyed this song to an obscene amount, and found it so outrageous that people could dislike this gem.
It debued at #4 on my personal chart, and worked it's way to the top, spending 3 non-consecutive weeks atop my chart. Her first 9 weeks were spent in and out of the runner-up position, as Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" was #1 for the first 10 weeks I was charting.
This finished as my #5 song of 2003. :)
EDIT: Thank you, The Rebirth Experience for correcting me. :)

I play this song a lot. I think it was a good choice for a last single.

I liked this song ALOT when it came out. They would play a different version of this song on the R&B station I listened to, where this guy would list these cities, "Detriot's missin you, LA's missin you..." and when they got to Philly, I got chills because I was there and missed her. :( Very nice closure song for a wonderful person's career.

That guy was Jay Z wasn't it? I remember reading somewhere that she was seeing dame Dash around the time of her death. Good song couldn't hold a candle to At Your Best You Are Love, my favourite Aaliyah song

It was alright. I didn't warm up to it until it peaked.

Great song! Obviously some of its impact was made due to the subject matter but its still a nice song in her catalogue.

I know the subject matter is towards a missed lover, but it got more emotional when Aaliyah passed :(

There's something so simple and pure about this track. The video always makes me cry:
Tonally, the song makes me recall Diana Ross' "Missing You".

This was an unreleased track from the "Aaliyah" sessions but it was originally intended for Ginuwine's "The Life" album. Teddy Bishop (the song's producer) said in an interview that Ginuwine let Aaliyah have the record and that she wanted to release it as a single but the labels didn't believe in it's hit potential.
to be honest I think this still would have been a hit if she would have never passed because this type of sound was popular at radio during the time. Her vocal is the song's selling point though to be honest. I think this would have been boring as a Ginuwine song.
This is the most played Aaliyah song in my iTunes library. I just love it. Her tone is just so angelic and ethereal here.

There will never be another silky honey voice like her, her tone is beyond impeccable. I still spin this quite a bit.

I forgot Rosario Dawson was in that video! I always thought she kind of looked like Aaliyah. The video is really sad, you could tell most of them really cared for Aaliyah and were hurt by her loss. The song itself would probably be my second favorite "new" track from I Care 4 U, after "Don't Know What to Tell Ya".
