More Than a Woman (Aaliyah song)

"More Than a Woman" is a song recorded by American singer Aaliyah for her eponymous third and final studio album (2001). It was written by Static Major and Timbaland, with the latter producing it. Musically, it is a pop, electro, hip hop, funk, and R&B song, while its instrumental features digital strings, harsh-sounding synthetic bass, and guitar sounds. Lyrically, the protagonist makes promises to fulfill her love interest's desires.

Initially chosen as the second single from Aaliyah, Aaliyah began promoting "More Than a Woman" with televised performances on Live with Regis and Kelly and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in July 2001. Due to premature radio support, "Rock the Boat" instead became the second single. After Aaliyah died in a plane crash on August 25, 2001, Blackground Records executives were uncertain about when they would issue the physical single for "More Than a Woman" and its accompanying music video. However, the song was released as the third and final single from Aaliyah on September 4, 2001, by Blackground and Virgin Records.

On release, "More Than a Woman" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, with many praising Aaliyah's vocal performance and the song's production. In the US, it achieved moderate success, peaking at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, the song fared better, reaching number one in Croatia and on the UK Singles Chart, making Aaliyah the first female artist to obtain a posthumous number-one single on the latter chart. In 2003, "More Than a Woman" was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards.

The accompanying music video for "More Than a Woman" was directed by Dave Meyers in early August 2001. It is a dance-heavy futuristic video that takes place inside a motorcycle engine. After its release, the video received acclaim from the music industry, winning Best Video at the 2002 MOBO Awards. Throughout the years, most critics have praised the video for its theme, fashion, and choreography.
