[edit] Information

Its sales exceed 86,000 and shipments currently stand at 123,000. The CD starts with "We Need A Resolution", featuring Timbaland, which talks about a relationship between a man and a woman where the woman wants a resolution. It's one of Aaliyah's darkest songs from her final studio album.

[edit] Video

The video for the song has been Aaliyah's most creative. The video is very dark and she deals with snakes. It was directed by Paul Hunter. Hunter also directed Aaliyah's videos for "One in a Million", "One in a Million (Remix)", and Aaliyah's cover of "Got To Give It Up". The video premiered on BET's 106 & Park and MTV's TRL on April 26, 2001. It opens up with Aaliyah sitting in a dark room in a goth-like dress and also appearing on a TV screen performing the first verse. Leading up to the chorus she can be seen laying on a glass bed with headphones on. During the second verse and the next chorus Aaliyah is in a scene with a snake around her neck in a dark tunnel. As Timbaland's rap verse begins he can be seen in a dark room wearing shades. The video closes with Aaliyah in the dark bedroom scene again and Aaliyah with one of the male dancers.
