"Do You" |
"Come Back in One Piece" is the third official single from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack. The song was performed by Aaliyah and features a guest appearance by DMX. The song was not a Top 40 hit single in the U.S., though it was a minor urban contemporary hit. In Europe, "Come Back in One Piece" and "I Don't Wanna" were released double A-side singles.

[edit] Song information
The single was not successful on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but reached the top 40 on U.S. R&B charts. Some people, including Aaliyah herself, felt that the song was overlooked by mainstream pop radio because of the enormous success of Aaliyah's international pop hit, "Try Again", released earlier in 2000.[citation needed]
The song sampled "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk" by Funkadelic, from their 1977 LP Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome. The same song was sampled by N.W.A. in 1991 for their song "Niggaz 4 Life" from the album of the same name.
[edit] Music video
The video was recorded in Yonkers, New York. The video features Aaliyah and DMX in an urban setting. At the beginning the two pose for pictures against a brick wall, with Aaliyah mouthing DMX's opening intro. DMX appears at a convenience store fighting other men. Aaliyah appears in three scenes singing. In one she is laying on a bed with her dog, another walking down a sidewalk with a pit bull, and the other with her sitting beside DMX. In between cuts, the scene shifts to children sitting beside televisions with scenes from the rest of the music video and Romeo Must Die. At the end children and adults alike, stand in front of murals of Aaliyah and DMX.
