"More Than a Woman"
Song
B-side"One in a Million"

"More than a Woman" is an R&B song written by Static Major and Timbaland for Aaliyah's self-titled third studio album, Aaliyah (2001). It also was produced by Timbaland and incorporates uncredited elements of Syrian singer Mayada El Hennawy's 1993 song "Alouly Ansa." The song was released as the album's third North American single in fall 2001 (see 2001 in music) and the album's second single elsewhere during the first quarter of 2002 (see 2002 in music). The song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in the 45th Annual Grammy Awards.

Music video

The music video for "More than a Woman" was directed by Dave Meyers and shot in Los Angeles in Summer 2001. The video starts with Aaliyah riding a motorcycle down a highway when the camera zooms inside the exhaust pipe and shows Aaliyah dancing in a white catsuit with other female dancers. Between cuts she is riding the motorcycle and in another scene standing in front of a headlight with her back against the camera. Later in the video, Aaliyah is dancing with co-ed dancers, wearing leather pants, gloves, and boots, and a black tank-top. At the end, a silhouette of Aaliyah on her motorcycle is placed in front of sunset with the words "In Loving Memory of Aaliyah" above. The English-American Grammy-Award winning music producer Mark Ronson appears in the video as a DJ. Aaliyah performed this song on Regis & Kelly and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in July 2001. It landed at #1 on BET's 106 & Park countdown right after "Rock The Boat" which also peaked at #1 was retired. In Germany the music video ranked several times at #1 in the Interactive Voting Show "Select MTV", also on the MTV Programme: "Webchart". It was one of Aaliyah's most popular music videos in Germany. "More Than a Woman" landed at #11 on BET: Notarized Top 100 Videos of 2002.
