Which Beyoncé album contains the 2008 singles “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies”?

The story behind the answer

I Am... Sasha Fierce contains Beyoncé’s 2008 singles “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

Released on November 12, 2008, the album was designed as a double record. The I Am... disc emphasized more personal ballads, while Sasha Fierce presented a more confident and performance-oriented persona.

“If I Were a Boy” explores gender expectations through a role-reversal narrative. “Single Ladies” became especially famous for its black-and-white music video and its choreography, including the distinctive “Uh-Oh” dance. The latter song won three Grammy Awards.

The album followed Beyoncé’s earlier records Dangerously in Love and B'Day. Its split concept helped make the contrast between intimate singing and theatrical performance explicit, although Beyoncé had used different artistic personas before the album’s release.
