Born in Brooklyn, New York, she was raised in Detroit, Michigan, where she attended Detroit School of Performing Arts.
She first gained recognition at the age of 10, when she appeared on the television show Star Search and performed in concert alongside Gladys Knight. At the age of 12, Aaliyah signed with Jive Records and her uncle Barry Hankerson's Blackground Records. She released her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number the album sold three million copies in the United States and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry.
Aaliyah worked with record producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott for her second album, One in a Million, which sold three million copies in the United States and more than eight million copies worldwide. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first film, Romeo Must Die. She contributed to the film's soundtrack, which spawned the single "Try Again". The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 solely on airplay, making Aaliyah the first artist in Billboard history to achieve this goal. After completing Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah filmed her role in Queen of the Damned, and released, in 2001, her self-titled third and final studio album, which topped the Billboard 200. Unfortunately, the 22 year old singer's life was tragically cut short in a 2001 plane crash after filming her video for "Rock The Boat" in The Bahamas.
Aaliyah became famous in her own right during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland, and their associate Steve "Static" Garrett. Notable for recording several hit singles, including "One in A Million" and "Try Again", Aaliyah has sold over 32 million records total worldwide, including posthumous releases. Two posthumous albums have been released since Haughton's death: I Care 4 U in December 2002, and Ultimate Aaliyah in April 2005, the latter of which was released as a box set that included her greatest hits and a documentary on her life. Haughton also ventured outside of music, modeling for Tommy Hilfiger and starring in two motion pictures (Romeo Must Die & Queen of The Damned) before her untimely death.

My Heart
Aaliyah Lyrics
Hey
Ohh, yeah
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?
Won't somebody tell me
So I can understand?
If you love me
How could you hurt me like that?
How could the one I gave my world to
Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"
Say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine? Tell me
How could you be so cold to me
When I gave you everything?
All my love, all I had inside
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
How could the one I shared my dreams with
Take my dreams from me?
How could the love that brought such pleasure
Bring such misery?
Won't somebody tell me
Somebody tell me please
If you love me
How could you do that to me?
Tell me
Hey
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
(How could the one) how could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad? (Break my heart, oh)
How could the one who made me happy (you made me so happy)
Make me feel so sad? (You made me feel so sad)
Won't somebody tell me? (Won't they tell me)
So I can understand (so I can understand)
If you love me, how could you hurt me like that? (How do you hurt me? Oh)
The one I gave my world to
Throw my world away? (Throw my world away)
How could the one who said, "I love you" (you said you loved me)
Say the things you say? (Do you really love me)
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies? (You told me lies, baby)
How could the one I gave my heart to
How could the one I gave my heart to, ooh
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine, tell me?
Ohh, yeah
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?
Won't somebody tell me
So I can understand?
If you love me
How could the one I gave my world to
Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"
Say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine? Tell me
How could you be so cold to me
When I gave you everything?
All my love, all I had inside
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
How could the one I shared my dreams with
Take my dreams from me?
How could the love that brought such pleasure
Bring such misery?

The one I gave my world to
Throw my world away? (Throw my world away)
How could the one who said, "I love you" (you said you loved me)

How could the one I gave my heart to
How could the one I gave my heart to, ooh
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine, tell me?

This version needs to be on streaming platforms it’s so beautiful
@evilsilence88
It’s on the CD single, I think it was called the video or radio remix. I prefer it but the opening on the album version is so beautiful.
@Adonisbrown21
@@evilsilence88 it’s the single version; not the album version. The album version sucks. And she sang the single version perfect live…..
@richsage3235
They're slowly adding her catalogue back on spotify
