"Where Could He Be?" is a song performed by late American R&B singer Aaliyah. The song also features Missy Elliott, who performs the spoken intro and Tweet who sings the background as well as the outro. Both Elliott and Tweet provide background vocals throughout the song.[1] The song contains a sample of Lisa Stansfield's "All Around the World".

Radio airplay

Soon after the song was leaked in early 2005, it started to gain increasing airplay. However, it was later confirmed that the song was illegally leaked and therefore had to be immediately deleted and pulled from radio outlets. Due to heavy airplay, "Where Could He Be?" almost managed to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number 20 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart (in the first of its two-week lasting airplay).
