Which Beyoncé single from 2003 features Jay-Z and opens with a famous horn sample?

“Crazy in Love” is Beyoncé’s 2003 single featuring Jay-Z and a famous horn sample.

Released as the lead single from Dangerously in Love, the song pairs Beyoncé’s forceful vocal with a guest rap from Jay-Z. Its production prominently uses a horn sample from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” by the Chi-Lites, creating the instantly recognizable opening.

The track became Beyoncé’s first solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It also won Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, helping define the sound and image of her early solo career.

“Crazy in Love” is often confused with “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released years later on the self-titled album Beyoncé. The two songs share the couple’s partnership but have different albums, release dates, and production styles.
