Came back in 2024. I love this rendition and I LOVE BANKS. ❤

[MR-zzzb]

She gives it a totally different vibe, like a dark one and totally different type of sound, I love it.

[luigik]

Aaliyah is smiling up in heaven! Great job I loved this

[siewitnessnews]

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I saw that she was doing a cover of this song, but I'm so pleasantly surprised. She really made it her own, while still keeping to the original vibe. LOVE.

I saw "Aaliyah Cover" and got scared because that's some serious territory to tread but I give props, BANKS made it her own. #brayvo

[drewsg]

Never heard of her before today, now I'm a fan. 

Vocalists on acoustic covers will separate real "talent" from the rest.

[mynameisrits]

This is just good, Aaliyah would be proud, good job Banks.

[AsiaShamir]

😭😭😭😭😭Aaliyah is my favorite of all time thank you so much BANKS😭😭😭

[tino]

The best Aaliyah cover I've heard

[aboutbenjiis]

- okay i was obsessed with banks before this . as well as aaliyah & this is just some next level ish ; this makes my heart melt, banks you're a goddess 😭🌹 .

[ameliaokiyi]

I wasn't expecting it to be this amazing

[HeyitsBri_]

I've officially found my new favorite artist. Not many can pull off an Aaliyah cover and not sound like their trying too hard or have the nerve to try to suggest that they have more talent by proving they can't hold a note

[aeileen]

Always coming back to this cover I luv u Jillian

[SpiritualWarrior]

Sacred ground but done beautifully <3, Banks pays a gorgeous homage to Aaliyah

[juliusdennis]

I was 14 years old when AAliyah sing Are you that somebody back in 1998 i was middle school this the 2nd Aalyiah cover that i heard so far and i love it It's not carbon copy.

[NewToneProducer]

One of my favorite songs of the 90's. Thank you for this!

[iyanam]

this is one of those rare times when I wish I could thumbs something up more than once ! so beautiful

[SHNERDiGUYo]

Still love this cover. One of the best #teamAALIYAH 😍

Boy,
I've been Watching You
Like a hawk in the sky
That flies,
And You were my prey
Boy, I promise you
If we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days
We gone hook it up
Probably talk from the phone
But see I don't know if that's good
I've been holding back
This secret from you
I Probably shouldn't letcha

If I,
If I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy you betta watch my body
I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, Is it your go
Sometimes I'm a goody goody
Right now I'm a naughty naughty
Say Yes or Say No
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody, Eh
Eheheheheheh Eh Eh...

Boy,
Won't you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block while everyone
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
I'll be waiting there
With my trench, my lugz, My hat
Just so I'm low key
If you tell the world
Oh Boy,
See I'm trusting you
With my Heart, my Soul
I probably shouldn't letcha, If I

If I,
If I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
I hope you responsible
Boy you betta watch my body
I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, Is it your go
Sometimes I'm a goody goody
Right now I'm a naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody, Eh
Eheheheheheh Eh Eh...

Baby girl,
I'm the girl from the big LA
But you come play around my way
And listen to what I gotta say
UK
You've been down from the start
That's why you got my heart
Ever since we departed

Baby girl,
Betta known as Aaliyah
Them play haters have fevers
Getting goosebumps in our fevers
And don't you know
You gotta tell somebody
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody, Eh

If I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
I hope you're responsible
Boy you betta watch my body
I'm not just anybody
Is it my go, Is it your go
Sometimes I'm a goody goody
Right now I'm a naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody, Eh
Eheheheheheh Eh Eh...
