I Gotcha' Back

“I Gotcha Back” is a track from Aaliyah’s 1996 breakthrough album One In A Million. Produced by Jermaine Dupri and Carl So-Lowe, “I Gotcha Back” reprises the same sample of “I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You” by late soul singer Leon Haywood that was the basis of Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg’s “Nuthin' But A ‘G’ Thang.” In the 90’s, it became very common for an sample driven hip-hop song to become a hit, and then have several R&B songs allude to the hip-hop song by using the same sample.
