Come Over (Aaliyah song)

"Come Over" is a song by American recording artist Aaliyah. Written by Johntá Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Kevin Hicks [1] and produced by Bryan-Michael Cox, Jazze Pha and Kevin Hicks, it was originally recorded for the singer's third studio album, Aaliyah (2001). When it was left unused, "Come Over" was given to R&B duo Changing Faces, who included their version on their third album Visit Me (2000). In 2002, a duet version with singer Tank was included on Aaliyah's first posthumously released compilation album I Care 4 U (2002). The following year, a solo version was released as the third single from I Care 4 U in the United States. It reached the top ten on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Critical reception

Ross Scarano from Complex praised Aaliyah's voice on the song saying "Aaliyah's voice did longing so well. The lightness of her touch when stretching out and fluttering the final syllable of a word like 'over' in 'Come Over' is too pretty". Scarano also felt that certain parts within the song such as the dying-cell-phone bit was amusing.[2]
