I Care 4 U (song)

"I Care 4 U" is a song recorded by American singer Aaliyah for her eponymous third and final studio album (2001). Written by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, the song was originally recorded for Aaliyah's second studio album One in a Million (1996), but the recording was too late for inclusion on the album. It was subsequently re-recorded for Aaliyah in 2000. A neo soul-R&B ballad, "I Care 4 U" features beatboxing, an electric piano and multi-tracked vocals.

Following Aaliyah's death on August 25, 2001, "I Care 4 U" received heavy airplay in the US despite not having been released as a single, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was then included on Aaliyah's posthumous compilation album of the same title (2002), and was released as its third single on April 8, 2003.
