Which 2003 Beyoncé album includes the hit single “Crazy in Love”?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé's 2003 album containing “Crazy in Love” is Dangerously in Love.

Dangerously in Love was released on June 24, 2003, as Beyoncé's debut solo studio album after her success with Destiny's Child. Its title refers to a song on the album, while “Crazy in Love” became the project's signature single and featured rapper Jay-Z.

“Crazy in Love” topped charts in multiple countries and won two Grammy Awards at the 46th ceremony in 2004. The album also produced “Baby Boy,” a collaboration with Sean Paul, and “Me, Myself and I.” Its blend of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, pop, and soul established Beyoncé as a major solo performer.

The album is sometimes confused with later releases because Beyoncé used similarly personal or conceptual titles. Dangerously in Love is specifically her first solo studio album, while B'Day followed in 2006 and I Am... Sasha Fierce arrived in 2008.
