"We Need a Resolution" is an R&B song written by Steve "Static" Garrett and Tim "Timbaland" Mosley for Aaliyah's self-titled final studio album, "Aaliyah" (2001). It was produced by Timbaland and released as the album's lead single and Aaliyah's first single released in the new millennium during the second and third quarter of 2001 (see 2001 in music).

The song was a moderate success. "We Need a Resolution" reached the top 20 on the UK singles chart and the top 30 in Canada.

The single's cover features the somewhat popular cartoon version of Aaliyah that once appeared on a promotional commercial for the album. This cartoon depicts Aaliyah dressed in a leather outfit and wearing silver bands on her arms.
