Aaliyah recorded this song for the “Sunset Park” soundtrack in 1995. The song was produced by DJ Kay Gee of Naughty by Nature and written by his artist Renee Neufville of group Zhane. A few years back, Kay Gee talked to us about working with Aaliyah.

Timbaland featured Aaliyah on just about all of his projects that he worked on. That includes the song “Man Undercover”, which is essentially an Aaliyah song featuring Timbaland. It was on Timbaland & Magoo’s 1997 album “Welcome to Our World”.

This song was featured on Playa’s debut album “Cheers 2 U” and is a magical duet between Aaliyah and Static Major.

This song surfaced a few years following her passing, and although it was never officially released as a single, it charted due to airplay alone.

Sure this isn’t actually an Aaliyah song, but it was intended to be. Aaliyah was set to record this for her self titled final album, but all we are left with is the demo for now.
