Aaliyah’s “One I Gave My Heart To” is the sixth and final single from her second album One in a Million. The song was written by Diane Warren and the album version was produced by Daryl Simmons, while the single version was produced by Guy Roche. The track was the most successful song on the album, debuting at number 24 on the Billboard 100 list and peaking at number 9.
The video uses a warm browns/sepia tones and has a rain scene – two popular themes in 90′s videos.
I remember listening to this song on repeat during those “tough” high school break-ups. Clutching my chest and burying my face in my pillow for hours while wondering if my heart would ever be whole again. Gone are those days, but it remains to be one of my favorite Aaliyah songs followed closely by “One in a Million”.
The 25th of this month was the 9th anniversary of her death. I can’t believe it’s been so long.
R.I.P. Aaliyah. You’ll never be forgotten.

Beautiful song…all of her music lives on to this very day. I still regard her as one of the best female R&B singers ever.
