Rock the Boat (Aaliyah song)
"Rock the Boat" is a song by American recording artist Aaliyah. It was written by Static Major, Eric Seats and Rapture Stewart for her 2001 self-titled album ''Aaliyah''. "Rock the Boat" was released as a single in January 2002 in the United States and May 2002 in the United Kingdom. Prior to its release as a single, "Rock the Boat" charted as an "album cut" and peaked at number 14 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the week of January 5. The song stayed on the chart for twenty-five weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music: Top 100 Songs - Billboard Hot 100 Chart )〕
Aaliyah initially started promotion for the expected second single "More Than a Woman", but the single was pushed back because her label felt "Rock the Boat" was a summer single that needed to be released. "Rock the Boat" was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony.
==Composition==
"Rock the Boat" features an atmospheric groove, hypnotic rhythms, and fluctuating instrumentation such as synthesizer effects. Lyrically, its female narrator instructs a lover on how to please her sexually and equates her erotic high to a drug high: "Work the middle / Change positions / Now stroke it for me / ... I feel like I'm on dope / Explore my body / ". The words "high" and "dope" were censored on MTV because of the drug connotation. In an issue of ''Vibe'' magazine, it was revealed the song was written at least two years before its actual release, but never recorded because her label didn't think she was ready for a song with sensual lyrics that "Rock the Boat" entailed.
