Beyoncé’s song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” mentions a ring in its title.
The song was released in 2008 as one of the two lead singles from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its lyrics center on commitment, independence, and the expectation that a serious romantic partner should acknowledge the relationship.
The black-and-white music video became especially influential. Beyoncé and two dancers perform tightly synchronized choreography, including the move commonly known as the “Single Ladies” dance. The simple visual style helped make the song and its choreography widely recognizable.
“Single Ladies” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards at the 52nd ceremony in 2010, including Song of the Year. The title is often shortened in conversation, but its official title includes the parenthetical phrase “Put a Ring on It.”
