Jay-Z features on Beyoncé’s single “Crazy in Love.”
Released in 2003, “Crazy in Love” was the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. The track was written by Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rich Harrison, and Eugene Record, and it incorporates a prominent horn sample from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So).”
The collaboration became a major turning point for both artists. Beyoncé was establishing herself outside Destiny’s Child, while Jay-Z was already a leading rapper and executive. Their musical partnership later became part of a broader personal and professional relationship.
The song topped charts in multiple countries and won two Grammy Awards in 2004, including Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. The feature is sometimes described as a duet, but Beyoncé carries the main vocal while Jay-Z performs the rap section.
