#ONTHISDAY “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number” single is recorded in 1993 and released December 6, 1994.

The controversial song is about a young underage girl being interested in an older man. She notices him checking her out and gives him the green light to pursue their inner burning desires for each other; assuring him that their age difference shouldn't matter (being down for whatever). The song was written and produced by an older male (RKelly).

The music video was directed by Millicent Shelton ( @shelton9mil ) and filmed in Detroit, Michigan in late 1994 and has cameo appearance from her brother Rashad Haughton as well as appearances by rappers Proof and Bizarre from D12.

DID YOU KNOW: In May 1997, music publisher Windswept Pacific filed a lawsuit against Aaliyah with the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles citing that she illegally copied Bobby Caldwell's 1978 song "What You Won't Do for Love" and that "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" bears a striking resemblance to Caldwell's song. There are little to no details about the settlement of that case.

Yes, you read that correctly. Not only was Aaliyah dealing with the backlash of the song lyrics, the marriage certificate scandal, and overcoming being blackballed in the industry, but she was also dealing with being sued a month before her high school graduation. That's a lot she had to deal with, but she pushed through!
