24 years ago, aaliyah released 'rock the boat'

it’s crazy how she died the same day she filmed the choreo on the boat

The song was released 25 yrs ago in 2001 !

Became an official single today in 2002! What a hit

@NewMoon28210 This became a single in August 2021, right before her passing because it was getting heavy air play because it was a fan favorite.

@iconiksongs @NewMoon28210 I know that’s what google says but it’s not true. MTAW was supposed to be the 2nd single &was being pushed to radio. That’s why she shot MTAW a week prior to RTB shoot. Blackground switched at the last second, hence why the “release date” is the same as the first day of RTB shoot

@iconiksongs @NewMoon28210 That has absolutely nothing to do with it still be released as a single. Background did it and that’s why it was a rush to film the video because it was a fan favorite BEFORE she shot the video. This was a common industry thing. That’s why she announced it on 106.

@iconiksongs @NewMoon28210 How were they able to track “fan favorite” songs back then? The album was flopping. None of them were numerically “fan favorites”

@MrJeromeTrammel @iconiksongs It was in the radio in 2001 gaining airplay in 2001 and black ground decided to push this song in 2001 not 2002 ! What's so hard to understand about that !

Aaliyah RIP sweet soul

La dernière chanson avant sa mort , c’est après le tournage de ce clip qu’elle a fait son accident .

cc: @Brandonismusic our song😩😩😩

the concept of rockin’ the boat🤯

In a better timeline Aaliyah is queen A and people forgot Beyponcé

Crazy…I’ve been blasting her TOUGH today

Aaliyah is the blue print Tyla & Zara are studying mother homework

Love her

wasn't this the music video she was shooting before her death??

Still a banger

🥺🕊️

She was so gorgeous in this video 🥺❤️

I can’t watch the video or listen to the song. 😔

Me and All my classmates cried when she died

One of my favorite songs by her 🙏🏽🕊

Ugh I hated this look baddddddd

Nostalgia injected

her bearthday is in a few days time flies 🙇🏽‍♂️

It's always so bitter-sweet watching this video clip knowing its the last one she made and was flying bk from location from making this for us when she died 🥺❤️

What is this song about?

That’s b Simone

Nice video

Then they killed her so some1 else could emerge

Now they just make "pop that p*ssy type rnb"

If she had lived I don't think Bey would have been so popular. A was AMAZING!!!

I really wish she and her team didn't have to take that flight back.

This may sound weird but I wonder if this was lesbian awakening for 90’s fish. Cause hell I’m gay and felt something 😹

Classic

My Girl 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Her last song 😞
