The music video for "More Than a Woman" was directed by Dave Meyers and shot in Los Angeles in summer 2001, two weeks before the video shoot for "Rock the Boat". The video starts with Aaliyah riding a motorcycle down a highway when the camera zooms inside the exhaust pipe and shows Aaliyah dancing in a white Chanel catsuit with other female dancers. Between cuts she is riding the motorcycle and in another scene standing in front of a headlight with her back against the camera. Later in the video, Aaliyah is dancing with co-ed dancers, wearing leather pants, gloves, and boots, and a black tank-top. At the end, a silhouette of Aaliyah on her motorcycle is placed in front of sunset with the words "In Loving Memory of Aaliyah" above. The English Grammy-Award winning music producer Mark Ronson appears in the video as a DJ. It premiered on January 7, 2002 and landed at #1 on BET's 106 & Park countdown right after "Rock the Boat" was retired from the countdown. In Germany the music video ranked several times at #1 on the interactive voting show Select MTV on the MTV programme Webchart. It was one of Aaliyah's most popular music videos in Germany. "More Than a Woman" landed at #11 on BET: Notarized Top 100 Videos of 2002. "More Than a Woman" was voted by the British public as "Best Video" and received an award at the 2002 UK MOBO Awards.
