Beyoncé’s album 4 features the single “Love on Top.”
4 is Beyoncé’s fourth solo studio album, released on June 24, 2011. The title refers to several personal and artistic connections to the number four, including her birthday on September 4, her mother’s birthday on January 4, and her wedding date on April 4. The album marked a deliberate move toward a more traditional R&B and soul sound.
“Love on Top” was released as a single from 4 and became one of the album’s most celebrated songs. Its vocal arrangement rises through multiple key changes near the end, creating a demanding showcase for Beyoncé’s range. The song received the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in 2013.
Other songs on 4 include “Run the World (Girls),” “Best Thing I Never Had,” and “Countdown.” It is sometimes confused with the album I Am... Sasha Fierce because both include major pop and R&B singles, but “Love on Top” belongs specifically to 4.
