aaliyah
on the album aaliyah sang her songs in a falsetto, she felt that the songs "came at you kind of tough, a bit edgy, hip-hop, but the vocals can be very soothing". according to aaliyah "lyrically i want things to be different." the album is filled with "sunny" pop jams and "sweet" ballads and it opens with the intro track which is an a cappella public service announcement. the intro song urges its listeners to listen to the album carefully."listen to instructions carefully / while bumping this album in your jeeps / aaliyah’s got a '90s swing / so be careful with the volume, please". the next track "throw your hands up" is an anthemic up-tempo g-funk inspired song and it has been described as aaliyah's "statement of purpose". on the song she tells the listeners that she's "straight from the streets" with a "touch of jazz" in her. the third track which served as the album's lead single "back & forth" has been described as an urban dance cross-over song with pop and r&b influences. on the song aaliyah sings with a "subtle, laid-back vocal" while she talks about partying on the weekend with her friends. according to billboard "it doesn't matter that aaliyah is 15. it’s the freakin' weekend, baby, so she's picking up her ladies—presumably in her jeep—and hitting the local party spot". the forth track "age ain't nothing but a number" is the title track for the album and it's about "a young girl pining for the love of an older man, and her telling society that it doesn’t matter the age difference between the two of them". the song contains an interpolation from the song what you won't do for love performed by bobby caldwell with the lines "i got a thing for you, and i won’t let go.”
