Which Beyoncé song became famous for its “all the single ladies” chorus?

The story behind the answer

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the Beyoncé song famous for its “all the single ladies” chorus.

Released in 2008, the song appeared on Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its lyrics address commitment and marriage, while its repetitive hook helped make it one of Beyoncé’s most recognizable singles.

The black-and-white music video became equally influential. Beyoncé and two dancers perform highly synchronized choreography, including the distinctive hand movement associated with the song. The video’s minimal visual style and direct dance framing made it especially easy to imitate and share.

The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year. It is sometimes shortened to “Single Ladies,” but its full official title includes “(Put a Ring on It).”
