| The horns were sampled from the 1970 Chi-lites song "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)." |
| Jay Z did the rap. He and Beyonce were dating, which made it convenient for him to make many guest appearances performing his rap. |
| Grammy-winning producer Rich Harrison played all the instruments on this song, including the sequencers and the congas. He even took care of all the samples. |
| This was the only song to top the charts in both the UK and US in 2003. |
| This won the 2003 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. Beyonce herself choreographed many of the video's dance moves. The orange and pink Versace dress she wears in the video has been immortalized in her Madame Tussaud's waxwork. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above) |
| This won Grammys for Best R&B; Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in 2004. |
| Carmit Bachar of The Pussycat Dolls dances in the video. |
| On MTV's Making Of The Video, Beyonce said, "It celebrates the evolution of a woman. It talks about a girl who is at the point of a relationship. She realises that she's in love, she's doing stuff she wouldn't normally do but she doesn't care. It doesn't matter she's just crazy in love. Rich Harrison actually wrote the song with me and after I finished the song I asked Jay Z to be part of the song and he did. The song turned out great it ended up being my first single." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2) |
