Aaliyah "Try Again"
“Try Again” is a song recorded by American singer Aaliyah for the soundtrack to the 2000 film Romeo Must Die. It was written by Static Major and Timbaland, and produced by the latter. The song features an intro in which Timbaland pays homage to Eric B. & Rakim by rapping the duo’s opening verse from “I Know You Got Soul“. “Try Again” was released as the lead single from Romeo Must Die on March 21, 2000, by Blackground Records and Virgin Records. It was later included as a bonus track on international editions of Aaliyah’s eponymous third and final studio album (2001).
“Try Again” was met with positive reviews from music critics and enjoyed commercial success. In the United States, it peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first single to reach number one based solely on airplay. The song peaked within the top five in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Wayne Isham and won two MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. “Try Again” was also nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards (2001).
