There was also a recent interview with him about the song on Rolling Stone

Ernie Isley: The first time I played it after I had initially written the song was for my brother Rudolph, just voice and guitar. When he heard me say, "You're a positive motivating force within my life," he got this quizzical smile on his face, like how? The syllables and the notes — he goes, say that again? Then he sort of nodded his head like, yeah, that's pretty good. And that's one of the things that I think captures the emotion in the song. That song was expressing the way I felt towards someone. And sometimes you can feel a certain way towards someone and they don't always get it. So it was both like an affirmation and kind of a frustration too because it does say, "You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know."

What was your reaction to the Aaliyah cover, Ernie?
Ernie: When I first heard it, I liked it. I had no idea that it would be such a big hit for her, much less a signature hit for her. And then she did two versions of the song. There was one that had a little bit more hip-hop feel in the music, then there was the first one that was similar to the Isley Brother version, but either way, she made the song hers. The hip-hop-MTV-rap guys, as they came to the forefront, were leaning on different songs from our catalog. They embraced us and we embraced them back. We had to give [Aaliyah's cover] a green light — Ronald gave the green light. She did actually have a chance to meet and talk to Ronald. She expressed how much she loved the song. I never had a chance to meet and talk with her, but she was a big Isley Brothers fan.

The origin:

"Funfact🤣😂 when I was in the booth singing this my engineer had the music to low so I was telling him to turn it up but Aaliyah thought I meant to do it so she sung it like i did on the demo but it was a mistake 😫 but she loved it 🤣🔥🙌🏽 so we kept it like that 🙌🏽," Elliott wrote.The "Work It" rapper continued, "And since Babygirl loved the mistake I told Jimmy the engineer to keep raising the music on the track everytime she say turn it up so it would make sense to the listeners so y'all wouldn't think we was crazy 🤣😂 this skit is damn near what happened tho🤣."https://news.yahoo.com/missy-elliott-reveals-why-aaliyah-155421865.html
