Top 10 Best Aaliyah Songs
As a true icon of R&B and pop music, Aaliyah left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions with her smooth vocals, sultry beats, and memorable melodies.

This list spans her all-too-brief career, highlighting the tracks that captured hearts and topped charts, as well as those that showcased her unique style and depth.
There is a reason why ThoughtCo ranked this song as the best pop song of all time. RIP Aaliyah.
This is "the" Aaliyah song. It was the first time that Timbaland's futuristic, unorthodox beats hit the airwaves, and Aaliyah was the perfect vehicle to deliver them to the world. Her voice is perfectly meshed with the beat, the crickets create a dramatic crepuscular atmosphere, and that amazing bass line is still untouchable.
It's not her best vocal performance, nor is it probably her very best song ("Are You That Somebody?" is perhaps the height of her vocal delivery and Timbaland's ridiculous creativity), but it's her signature song and the tune that fits her style and persona best.
It's Aaliyah at her most. And best.
Absolutely great song… Except for those weird baby noises in the background.
I just love and adore this song. The beat is awesome. I wish she were still alive today!
This should be around 3 because it really is good, and I love the beat.
This is my favorite Aaliyah song. This is her best song. RIP baby girl.
I can't believe this song wasn't even on this list! This is definitely worth being in the top ten. So calm, so relaxing. Just love it. RIP Babygirl.
It's amazing how enjoyable this song is despite its length. Aaliyah's craft was beyond great in this song.
Still a classic now. Started her career off so well, and it's hard not to sing along.
I really like this song! I'm almost addicted to it!
"Age ain't nothing but a number, throwing down ain't nothing but a thing. This something I have for you, it'll never change." Wow!
Every time I listen to this, I'm kind of sad. It reminds me of the video of this song.
This is by far the best Aaliyah song. Are you kidding me?
This is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard, and Aaliyah's voice is just awesome!
The Timbaland remix of this song is absolutely amazing!
