[Intro: Timbaland]
Dirty South, can y'all really feel me?
East Coast, feel me, West Coast, feel me
Dirty South, can y'all really feel me?
East Coast, feel me, West Coast, feel me
Dirty South, can y'all really feel me?
East Coast, feel me, West Coast, feel me
Dirty South, can y'all really feel me?
East Coast, feel me, West Coast, feel me
[Verse 1: Aaliyah]
Boy, I've been watching you like the hawk in the sky
That flies, but you were my prey (My prey)
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days (Days)
We gon' hook it up, prolly talk on the phone
But see, I don't know if that's good
I've been holdin' back this secret from you
I probably shouldn't tell it
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
But if I, If I let you know
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody?
[Verse 2: Aaliyah]
Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block, while everyone sleep, sleep, sleep
I'll be waiting there with my trench, my locs, my hat
Just so I'm lowkey, If you tell the world
(Don't speak, you know that would be weak)
Oh boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn't let you
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
But if I, If I let this go
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible
Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody
[Verse 3: Timbaland & Aaliyah]
Baby girl, I'm the man from the big VA
Won't you come play round my way
And listen to what I gotta say
Timbaland (What) don't you know I am the man
Rock shows here to Japan
Have people shaking, shaking my hand
Baby girl, better known as Aaliyah
Give me goosebumps and high fevers
Makin' playa haters believers
Don'tcha know, gotta tell somebody, cause
'Cause I really need somebody (What?)
Tell me you're that somebody (What?)
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
If I let this go
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody?
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible
Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody?
[Chorus: Aaliyah]
Is it my go, is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm bout naughty naughty
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody?

#Aaliyah #AreYouThatSomebody #ICare4U - เพลง
25 years later and this song is still fresh af.
It doesn't age, so that means it's just a piece of ART.
Aaliyah’s legacy
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Quite simply…This is PERFECTION!!
I agree, im here for some nostalgia and it was definitely delivered.
Fatima is such a knockout choreographer! Aaliyah is so missed. Her music we have today is to be forever cherished. Her work is immaculate.
This video won the GRAMMY...for BEST SHORT FORM VIDEO...
Aaliyah absolutely killed the choreography in this clip.
Try Again was excellent too. Plus Jet Li unstoppable combo.
Lies again? MRT Train
th-cam.com/video/xugflxcsqQw/w-d-xo.html
Everything about Aaliyah was FLAWLESS
Her vocals, moves, choreography, voice, looks, everything. She was *WAY* ahead of her time.
I can’t even begin to imagine what she would have created if she was still with us today. She was a prodigy
Would’ve been on a whole nother level
It's okay, she changed the world and that's all any of us can hope for.
One day we will be able to travel the dimensional Rifts though and go wherever she lives on. That's gonna be a good day.
Until then, we have AI that can clone her voice(Eleven Labs) and make new tracks inspired by our love for her(GPT).
What a time to be alive.
@@nazaxprimehell nah. None of that AI shit is her
Facts !!
Still here. Still got chills… ima hold it down for you Ms. Haughton. Aka Babygurl.❤
Who listening this song in 2024?
It was on in the grocery store today and I was jammin’ so hard!!
This song is in my daily rotation!
✋ 🤚 ✋
This song, I’m obsessed with.
meeeeeeeeee
They don’t make this kinda sexxy music anymore.. 90s and early 2000s were the best.
It really was.
Tell me about it..sexy music😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
fr
90s-2013 😊🌈
2014-2024 🤮🤮
they do you just gotta look for it
Timbaland is the embodiment of making ANYTHING out of music from loud footsteps to a cooing infant. This man’s creativity was always intergalactic. Put him, Missy & Aaliyah on a track you know it’s gonna be hotter than the Sun’s core.
❤️ Agree!!!!
Well said! 💯 agreed!
Can't forget Static Major as well. He played a big part in Aaliyah's signature sound, this song in particular
F*** yes!!!
Pretty much everything Timbaland touches turns to gold. He's unbelievably talented!
Aaliyah didn't have hits she had _classics_ and they _still_ knock in 2024. 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
She had hits
Aaliyah always counts ass ALL OF THE ABOVE! Classic and SMASH HITS! She has to many AMAZING tracks to be anything other than a LEGEND. It's a curse to humanity how soon she has to leave this world.
💯👑🙏🏾
Exactly this song still get played on most radio stations till this day
Your so correct. I'm still listening
Happy 45 years old, Baby Girl. You’ll always be a legend ❤
Pilot Debrief goes over the flight in which she was killed. -Aaliya knew this was a no go and went to sit in the cab which had brought them to the airstrip. Aaliyah was drugged and brought aboard that small plane which was not operated by a competent pilot, and was significantly over weight limit for safe operation. Tragic.
❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Don't tell nobody in 2024/2026❤
❤❤❤🕊️
@@stephen1137 wait wait wait, she got drugged? Can you give me some reference? That changes so much!
Who else is here in 2024 jamming to this masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤🎶🎧
Always 💗💗
I’m here.
@@Alsoyourlefttoesame
Always 💯💯💯
Imagine dropping One In A Million at the top of your senior year of high school, then finishing up with a 4.0 GPA and a platinum album. This young woman was a prodigy.
Agreed!!!
Gone too soon
Aaliyah and Left Eye fashion and hairstyling can not be beaten to this day!
I love 💘 💗 ♥ 💓 💛 💖 her
Facts!!!
they lowkey goth
@@santosgarcia1893 they really aren't but whatever helps you sleep at night ig
Aaliyah was kinda into having an alternative style. She liked a bit of edginess with some street and glamour. 🤔 Lefteye kinda went through phases though. She was more earthy in her last years though.
If I had to choose only one artist‘s discography that definitely stood the test of time, Aaliyah instantly comes to my mind. Her music is like a fine wine, the longer time goes by, the better her music becomes
Absolutely correct. Aaliyah was all the R&B music industry about to conquer the whole entertainment world what a loss still heartbreaking but so happy that they released her catalog
*stood the test of time
@@newflower8974 thanks, I corrected it! 👍🏼
@@newflower8974 hater!
Facts 🎯
Folk called her mediocre, meanwhile she was def the blueprint to so many artist that came out after her. Her style, her music, her voice, Aaliyah def was a trendsetter, def was ahead of her time! ❤
Word!
her style is definitely the IT girl fashion now even the hairstyles she did!
Who ever called her mediocre were blatantly jealous and looked like Whoopi Goldberg or Leslie jones
@missvida6251 this is unrelated, but years ago one of my roommates was looking at a magazine and said "damn Whoopi Goldberg must've had it rough over the years" so I asked to see what he was talking about so he hands me the magazine and it was a picture of Lil Wayne, lmfao.. til this day I have no idea if he was joking or not
@@MrAnnoyingYouBadly 😩🤣 omgoodnes!
It still hurts thinking about what should have been… she was absolutely incredible.
😢😢😢😢😢
We missed out on so much. She was just getting warmed up... and the acting as well. 😢
@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq Definitely… her aura was so strong, she seemed to be able to pull people together and she was still so young… God called her home but we sure needed her here.
@@robtucker6303 what do you mean God called her home? How could God call her. And where is this home?
Im confused. 🤔
@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq Maybe spend more time finding God in your own heart instead of trolling and spreading toxic comments… think about it. And most importantly, pray for understanding and forgiveness.
@@robtucker6303 so it's toxic if I'm asking a rational logical question. These religions of yours have a way to turn you into maniacs. And when they tell you something that you know is just nonsense then they tell you to have a faith.
They'll say Jesus was born off a a virgin mary. Anyone with a proper working brain can just tell that that's just nonsense.
What was Joseph doing with Mary if Mary was a virgin. When you question it they'll say He is the Annointed one, the blood of the holy lamb. 🤦♂️
What the hell!! 😂 😂 😂 😂
The fact that she was only 19-20 yrs old when this song came out…
Her talent!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤍🤍🤍 RIP baby girl.
22
she was 17 bc she died at 22 .
She was 17 or 18
I remember seeing it on trl when getting ready for school. Either way, point is, she was taken to early and sang like she was born to exactly that.
She was actually 15 when she was signed her first single and video came out at age 17. She was 17 in one in a million. She passed at 22
fun fact: ever since aaliyahs music videos were released on streaming services about 8 months ago, 7 out of 11 of them have already reached over a million views. really makes you realize that her music belongs to any time. easy 4 baby girl !
yeah and for real I'm surprised they aren't already 10mill or more
@@melxb they used to have over 10 mil but youtube took the videos down
where can you stream her videos besides youtube? i been lookin
Yeah thats nice… most songs reach the hundred mills but sure good for her…
She should have been larger than life. She was robbed and its sick to think it planned
poor Aaliyah
she was so special
Aaliyah was ages ahead of her time.
TIMBALAND PUT HIS ENTIRE FOOT IN THIS BEAT MAN
The beat is everything. Brought me here 26 years after the first time I heard it.
So weird. Out of nowhere this song popped into my head, and got me thinking of her. Turned out to be her bday. She would've been 43. It was really unfair that she got taken so early, she was only getting started. If her music still makes an impact, imagine what she could've done if she had more time.
RIP Babygirl. 😔
On a plane crush!!!
We call it disteny
Agreed she is 2 years younger than myself she would have made it farther
That was her spirit that's why you wanted to hear the song
that happened to me too today I didn't know she passed and was like hey I was thinking bout her
@@BabyBoyBuchanan I believe she passed around the same time as Princess Diana and her death shadowed Aaliyah death and funeral. Her funeral was just as beautiful..
Am i the only one emotional about what a boss she was and what a queen she would be today
Timbaland at his finest... his 90's stuff, especially with Missy Elliott is timeless....
Am I the only one who loves the baby laughing in the background??😭

That’s Aaliyah as a baby cooing
@@jaz1elise wait really? 😮
@@nyagatluak8248 That's what I heard
@@jaz1elise nah it's just a baby sample recording from Timbaland
this literally still sounds like the future. and aaliyah’s performance is fucking sublime.
You need to learn what literally literally means
This sounds of 2000's era

Babygirl RIP.
Aaliyah and Timbo are one of the greatest producer/singer combos EVER
Yaasss
This choregraphy is epic!!!
Agreed
It is timeless indeed yeah
@@maartenvos8988 right
Fatima Robinson is a legend. She choreographed “Remember the Time” Dr. Dre Superbowl, and the Hip Hop 50 celebration at the Grammys this year. This just scratches the surface of her accomplishments. She’s on the left of Aaliyah at 0:24 .
@@devinpelt3757 She also made a cameo in Aaliyah and Jet Li's movie "Romeo Must Die".
So ahead of her time, this sound fresh af😮💨😮💨
It makes me sad how early the world lost this bright and talented soul, but i know she will keep inspiring so many generations to come. She truly was one in a million🕊❤️❤️
She sounded good on it but this was definitely all timberland
Indeed , Agreed 💯 with ya girly . So Fresh ✨ N' Clean ✨ . BabyGirl Most Known as Aali Aali Aaliyah ❤️ .
@@justdatguy29 timbaland did say aaliyah inspired him but i agree he did the beats etc
I wish Aaliyah was still alive, she was so talented, I grew up with her music because someone in my family loved Aaliyah and introduced me to Aaliyah’s music back then
Truly a LOST. She was 22... so sad.
This is one of the top songs and videos of the CENTURY 💯.
This came out in the late 20th century
She was the coolest girl to walk this world
Aaliyah needs the MTV Vanguard Award!! 22 years later and her music still hits !!
E

Nothing from empty tv means anything.

@@andrewlawton562 cool bro
Her fluid moves are just effortless.
I absolutely loved when this came out! The Timbaland and Aaliyah colab was truly ahead of its time. Those dance moves were so clean too.
When she passed away she was filming the Matrix sequel and that would have put her on a whole different level!
I still love Aaliyah's style
When the baby said "aaAaah" i felt that
That was ok. But the REAL lit part is when the baby said, "aaAaah."
😂@@zap_sigma1
Baby girl!!! The world still loves you!!! Gen Z out here wearing your face on their shirts ❤❤❤❤ Your impact is forever ❤
Baby girl KILLED that walk off at the end of the flamenco dance. 🔥
Ya it was definitely the walk off for me 💔🤍🕊
That was hot and classy. That was the "dropping the mike" of dance. She was too damn cold. Miss her like hell.😥😥😥😥😥😥😥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is what you call a CLASSIC!!! 🔥👏🏿
Yes!
Yep 👍
Better and wholesome than W A P lmaoooo
I LOVE YOU TONY!!!
I'm a 44 year old white dude who was trimming a tree all day and for some reason I had thid song in my head. I remember she died like a week before 9/11. It was a huge story that whole week then everyone forgot about it the moment those planes hit the WTC. She was good in Queen of the Damned, too.
earworm for sure haha
Also, Thuy Trang, the Yellow Power Ranger, died on September 3. An absolutely dreadful few weeks. I was 4, so I don't remember any of it. RIP Aaliyah and Everyone Else
Aaliyah was so beautiful and she had the talent also!!
Aaliyah was light years ahead of her time 💕
She truly is one in a million
She’d be smashing records now. Rest In Peace.
2024 doesn’t matter ❤ she is always in my heart…
Timbo crushed the beat & rest in power to Baby Girl!
Timbaland and them beats...had all us hype back then.
The style, the choreo, the swag, the sweet tone, the beauty! there can only be one Aaliyah. I think the only artist that came close to creating that swag is Ciara
I was just saying that Ciara came close, but Aaliyah was the best!! Her last album was so good, and it's a shame that she didn't live to see how well it was received! She was definitely going to that next level of her career! Most of her fans loved her since 'Age Ain't Nobody But a Number' (and kinda grew with her-- she's 2 years older than me), but the entire world was about to see her shine. Such a shame!! Her death still hits me hard!
Can we abolish that comparison please. These artists are literally nothing alike
@@concamon1364 i am not comparing the artistry as i agree with you they are nothing alike. I was simply talking about the swag.lol
And Christina Milian XO
@@yolandalyons8821 well missy elliot taught them both... so the swag award goes to MISSSSSYYYYYY ELLLIIIOOOTTTTTTT😁
Maaan we lost this R&B queen waaay too early in her career. She put out this banger at the beginning of her peak. Imagine the things she could have done if she would have lived longer! RIP Aaliyah. You forever remain heavy on my music rotation!
She is the goat 🐐
Queen Akasha
This song revolutionised R&B
Damn that girl had some serious choreography skills right here 🔥😱
If she was still here, she would be the Queen...let that sit.. Rest Eternally Aaliyah, you are still very loved and missed!!!.❤❤❤❤
She still a Queen 👑
Still a queen..
No hate but there would be no Queen B if she was still here girl could rap, sing etc SHE GOLDEN 🙌🏾 NAH FR
@Huncho... I totally agree with you on that one #no hate I choose Aaliyah ❤️
I don’t believe this I think she would’ve switched more into movies and they were on the same level then but as far as vocals and work ethic I don’t think she would be on Beyoncé’s level let’s be real this bitch rehearsals are a year long for a 2 hr show lol yeah no but Aaliyah would’ve been number 2
There was just that coolness in her...
R.I.P. beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 2024
The true Queen of R&B. If Aaliyah were still alive, Beyonce & Co. would have to dress warmly.
This was lowkey the Thriller of its time. The song and dance was iconic. Aaliyah deserves more credit as an artist and not just looks and fashion.
She is getting more recognized now. She will be in inducted in RnB Hall of Fame.
@@melclibrait was time
@@melclibrashe the Forver Princess of rnb
@@manokapiyes aaliyah is the princess and Queen B is the Queen
Baby girl Aaliyah still lives on through her music 🕊️
She was way past her yearsss 😭🩷
Aaliyah is one of the most influential women in rnb history!
Agreed
One of the most influential woman to LIFE period!!!!!
This is easily the best female dance video of the 90s. 💯
She was on her way to shut the thots down with such class. God rest her pure heart.
She was so beautiful. I heard she had a equally beautiful personality.
R&B classic for sure
This deserves to be a number 1 hit song with a grammy!!!🔥
Totally true indeed🔥
Facts
It would’ve hit number 1 in the summer of 98 if billboard allowed radio airplay only singles on the charts. By the time it was allowed to chart later that year, it debut at #21 on the charts, 6 months after the song hit it’s peak in popularity. Her label is so trash, she deserved so much better
@@Meko_tah I agree with u but 21 means platinum #21 is good some artist song's don't even peak!!!
One of the best of her generation. She even dances great. She was taken too soon
Timbo + Baby Girl = Magic
Whitney: The Queen
Michael: The King
Aaliyah: The Princess
Prince: The Prince
Yesssssss
Aretha: The Queen
Elizabeth: guess I’m retiring!
I realize what you are trying to say it isn´t THAT easy to break it down like that, there are serious competitors for each one off those spots
Beyonce has entered and purchased this chat
R.I.P Aaliyah ❤🙏😍
There would have been no Beyonce if Aliyah was still alive, big boy Timberland on the beat, big up to the 90s and early 2000s
Yall can't even praise her without comparing her with Beyoncé 😂 Looks like Beyoncé is the prize

In the best timeline, Aliyah and Timberland would've been Beyonce's mentors.
@@blinksstayfresh2524Never. Beyonce is better
The choreography, the abs and the beat are SICK! This is so underrated, should've gone higher in the chart back then.

I remember being in car with my mom as a 9 yr old , everytime me and my mom would here this song we both would turn it up and look at each other. God rest her soul i can't believe I'm 33😳😭 misd you mom

"talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique.." So happy her legacy is finally being shared, rest easy babygirl!
Aaliyah had the perfect amount of talent, class and sex appeal. The word queen gets thrown around alot, behold one of the best examples of one. Rest in peace, your legacy will continue.
It’s crazy how talented and amazing her 3 albums were and she was only a teenager/young adult. I can’t imagine how iconic and huge she would have gotten if she didn’t pass away. The world was robbed of getting more of her artistry that’s for sure. One of the best female R&B artists of all time.
I missed her so much , she was my teenager star, i wanted to be like her so much. great singer
This deserves the #1 it didn’t get in ‘98 because how and why not!? This song/video is amazingly dope 🔥 a true classic that is timeless that IS AALIYAH 😍🕊
Sooooo true #1
It was # 1 on the r&b charts
They never released it as a single so it couldn’t chart on the Hot 100 at the time. They finally released it as an actual single much later and it still managed to go Top 30. Had they released it as a single earlier, it would’ve been her first #1 single for sure.
@@nasirwest6502 yes, I know but it deserved the overall Hot 100 but it made it to 21
@@DreThomasMusic it was released as a single. It charted #21 although it could have went higher if there was more promo but it did get to #1 on other charts

I loved this woman's music. I cried when she passed. She had such a beautiful soul.
Weird.
She never should have gotten on that plane... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
2023 and I still jam to her music... 🥰
She was drugged and carried on the plane without consent. She was murdered. Never sat right with me when the news came out. The timing of things after it is crazy!
Chiiiiile they drugged her she didn’t even know she was getting on that plane.🤬
She got SUCH A SWEET Voice like an 😇 Angel!n her dancing is 🔥!Bey could NEVER dance SO smooth(like water)like this!B is looking like shes havin a SEIZURE LOL!!😂😂❤❤RIP BABYGIRL
This whole song speaks everything indirectly..
RIP Queen. Not princess. Definitely queen of R&b
2:11 That wink! She was stunning.
ICONIC.
alot of people may hate me for this but whats come to light from recent events... AAliyah show have been more popular than Beyonce! LONG LIVE AALIYAH THE QUEEN!!! if she were still alive she would have still been on the top!!
I truly agree with I miss her so much so much talent wasted Long Live Aaliyah# God has gained a beautiful angel among him.
I love the dancing. She was so talented and beautiful. We lost her way to soon. Rih baby girl
