Which Beyoncé song became famous for its “single ladies” dance in 2008?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” became famous for its distinctive dance in 2008.

The song was released as a single in October 2008 from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its black-and-white video features Beyoncé and dancers performing highly synchronized choreography, including the move often called the “Single Ladies” dance.

The track was written by Terius “The-Dream” Nash, Thaddis Harrell, Beyoncé, and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart. Its lyrics present a playful challenge about commitment and relationships, while its energetic beat helped it become one of Beyoncé’s most recognizable pop hits.

The song won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. It is often shortened to “Single Ladies,” but its official title includes the parenthetical phrase “Put a Ring on It.”
