 According to producer Rapture Stewart "The only reason they shot 'Rock the Boat' was because the radio was already playing it, so that kind of forced it to be the second single [instead of 'More Than a Woman'],".Although "Rock the Boat" received heavy radio airplay Aaliyah's label didn't want that song to be released as a single.Instead the label felt that songs produced by Timbaland should be released singles because "that was her sound at the time", according to Stewart.
