I Care 4 U's first single, an unreleased track entitled "Miss You," which premiered on AOL's First Listen on October 28, is a poignant ballad of love and loss. Aaliyah's pioneering sound, sultry voice and trend-setting style made her one of the most influential and innovative artists in popular music. I Care 4 U is a continuation of Aaliyah's musical legacy and a chronicle of her short but legendary life in music.

Aaliyah rose to fame at age 14 with the release of the album, Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. The first single, "Back and Forth," was a Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and a No. 1 R&B song. The follow-up single, a remake of the Isley Brother's "At Your Best (You Are Love)" reached Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was number 2 on R&B radio. Following the success of her debut album, Aaliyah released her multi platinum second album, One In A Million in 1996. "If Your Girl Only Knew," the first single from the album went double platinum and features Timbaland's signature syncopated beats and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot's lyrics. In 1998, Aaliyah scored a massive hit with "Are You That Somebody" from the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack. Produced by Timbaland and written by Static, the song is infectious and sonically groundbreaking, known for its clever sampling of a baby crying.

Aaliyah made her motion picture debut in Romeo Must Die in 2000. Co-starring Jet Li, the film was a box office success. Taken from the movie soundtrack, the Timbaland-produced single "Try Again," propelled the album to double platinum status. "Try Again" earned Aaliyah two MTV Music Awards for both "Best Female Video" and "Best Video in a Film."

The album, Aaliyah, released in July 2001, showcased her maturity and growth as an artist and debuted at number 2 on the US charts, selling 2.4 million albums worldwide. Aaliyah featured the smash singles "We Need a Resolution," "More Than a Woman" and "Rock The Boat."
