A classic 

A goddamn classic 

 

let me stream 

this song is a 10 and one of the best pop songs ever created but it also creeps me the f*ck out and makes me SUPER uneasy  just the fact that it felt like her biggest hit and the eerie vibes of the soundscape, I remember after she died it felt like it has a resurgence on the radio and I remember hearing it one day on the way home from like preschool and it was a rainy afternoon in Maryland and they had prefaced it on the radio by saying she had recently died and it was tooooo creepy for my 4 year old self to have processed  but I know other people don't find it creepy so i've been trying to find it less creepy lately 

One of the greatest songs of the 00s and I think really represents the Y2K sound. 

A classic indeed Aaliyah looked so stunning in the video. She is greatly missed.

It's crazy how every single one of her songs is now older than she ever got to be.

Still remember going to listen to this smash on YouTube when it wasn't on Spotify

a certified classic. i used to watch this video along with come back in one piece on the romeo must die dvd all the time.
