Upon its release, "The One I Gave My Heart To" was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising Aaliyah's vocal delivery and tone on the record. Commercially, "The One I Gave My Heart To" performed well, peaking at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at number eight on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It has also been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling over 900,000 copies in the United States. [2]

Background and production

The song came into fruition when songwriter Diane Warren expressed interest in working with Aaliyah, with Warren later saying: "I remember really liking Aaliyah and wanting to work with her." [3] Eventually, Warren reached out to Atlantic Records chairman Craig Kallman to express her wish of working with Aaliyah and Kallman agreed to the collaboration. [3] Her goal in working with Aaliyah was to have her do a certain song that she would not have normally done to showcase a different side of her, which included displaying her vocal range in a different way than what she was used to doing. [3] Once Warren was on board, producer Babyface was chosen to produce the song. Due to unforeseen circumstances, however, he was unable to complete the work, so he enlisted producer Daryl Simmons to replace him instead. [3] Simmons would go on to produce the album version of the song, while pop producer Guy Roche would go on to produce the single version. [1]

Music and lyrics

Written by Diane Warren, "The One I Gave My Heart To" is a Pop, [1] [4] [5] [6] and R&B [1] power ballad. [5] The song is composed in the key of G major and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 72 beats per minute. [7] Aaliyah's vocal range on the song spans from G♯3 to D♯5. [7] It also follows the verse-chorus form with Aaliyah doing improvisations at the ad-libbed last verse, marking the climax of the song. In her biography Aaliyah: A Biography (2014) author Jennifer Warner mentioned, that "Aaliyah abandoned her typical falsetto to deliver the power pop ballad, to the approval of Warren". [8] Warren spoke highly of Aaliyah's vocal performance, stating that "She could go where the Whitneys went. She wailed on that single I wrote for her. I write songs that challenge singers, and she rose to the occasion." [6] [8] Lyrically, Aaliyah is "highlighting a broken heart and sense of betrayal". [4] Warner further explained the songs lyrics saying, " "The One I Gave My Heart To" is a contrasting ballad of lament as Aaliyah wonders how she could have given her heart to a man who turned out to be such a cad." [8]

Critical reception

Oliver VanDervoort from AXS said that "The One I Gave My Heart To" "was actually quite a bit more "poppy" than some of her other romantic entries but she made it work for sure." [9] Ed Masley from AZCentral , felt "The production goes a bit too heavy on the schmaltz but the vocals are emotional enough to rise above it". [10] In his review of "The One I Gave My Heart To", Larry Flick from Billboard felt that the song was a strong top-40 contender and that it would "rise to the top" on a variety of radio formats. He also praised both Aaliyah's vocal styling and the overall production of the song, saying: "She brings an engaging, youthful romance to a sweet Diane Warren composition which is fleshed out with a careful balance of straight ahead pop and R&B sensibilities in producer Guy Roche's instrumental arrangement". [1] While reviewing One In a Million, Peter Miro from Cash Box praised the song for its crossover appeal saying,"The One I Gave My Heart To, is a bonus cut that adds to the R&B, pop, urban & churban playability of this deceptively oozing talent. [11]

According to Edwin Ortiz from Complex , Aaliyah proved that she could "switch from her usual mid-tempo style and deliver an incredible vocal performance". He also felt that she "brought the song to life through her smooth soprano vocals, highlighting a broken heart and sense of betrayal, with the accompanying video perfectly depicting her emotional state". [4] Jordan Simon from Idotaltor said, on "The One I Gave My Heart To,” the album’s final single, the teenager confirmed what others close to her already knew: she was capable of delivering a vocal performance that would make the era’s dominating divas Whitney Houston and Celine Dion proud." [12] In his "Talking Music" column, Music Week's Alan Jones described the song as "Warren's typically stately MOR/pop ballad" and that along with "Hot Like Fire" were both "fabulous showcases for her". [13] While briefly discussing the song, Stereogum writer Tom Breihan described the song as a "pretty-but-pedestrian Diane Warren ballad". [14] Georgette Cline from The Boombox felt that Aaliyah allowed her "vulnerability to be exposed" on the song. [5] Variety writers felt that "With teenage love comes teenage heartbreak, and when you combine that with songwriting ace Diane Warren, it adds up to a power ballad". [15] They also praised the song because it showcased Aaliyah's "ability to hit higher notes and display vulnerability". [15]
