What was the title of Beyoncé's 2008 album featuring “If I Were a Boy”?

Beyoncé's 2008 album featuring “If I Were a Boy” was titled I Am... Sasha Fierce.

Columbia Records released the album on November 12, 2008. It was designed as a double album: the I Am... disc focused on ballads and more personal material, while the Sasha Fierce disc emphasized uptempo songs and Beyoncé's stage persona.

“If I Were a Boy” appeared on the I Am... disc and became one of the album's major international singles. The same release also included “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” which appeared on the Sasha Fierce disc.

Sasha Fierce was presented as a performance alter ego rather than a separate singer. The album title is often written with three dots after “I Am,” and omitting the punctuation can make searches less precise.
