Beyoncé’s album B’Day contains the singles “Deja Vu” and “Beautiful Liar.”
B’Day is Beyoncé’s second solo studio album. Columbia Records released it on September 4, 2006, her twenty-fifth birthday, which explains the album’s title. The record followed her 2003 debut Dangerously in Love and presented a more energetic blend of contemporary R&B, funk, pop, and soul.
“Deja Vu” was the lead single and featured Jay-Z. “Beautiful Liar,” released later in an expanded edition, was a duet with Shakira. The two songs are often discussed together because both were prominent singles from the B’Day era, although they were released at different points in the album campaign.
B’Day also included “Irreplaceable,” one of Beyoncé’s best-known solo songs. The album earned several Grammy nominations and won Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. Its title is sometimes written as B’Day, while the album’s expanded version is commonly called B’Day Deluxe Edition.
