Which 2008 Beyoncé song became famous for its dance about a wedding ring?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the 2008 Beyoncé song famous for its wedding-ring dance.

The song appeared on Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, and was released as a single in October 2008. Its lyrics focus on commitment and recognition in a relationship, while the repeated “put a ring on it” phrase became its defining hook.

The black-and-white music video features Beyoncé and two dancers performing highly synchronized choreography. Directed by Jake Nava and choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr. and JaQuel Knight, the video helped make the dance a global pop-culture phenomenon. Its visual style was deliberately simple, keeping attention on movement.

The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. It is sometimes shortened to “Single Ladies,” but the full official title includes “Put a Ring on It.”
