Which Beyoncé song features her husband Jay-Z and opens with the lyric “Yes!”?
Answer
Crazy in Love
Answer
Crazy in Love
Beyoncé’s song “Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z and opens with the shouted word “Yes!”
Released in 2003, “Crazy in Love” was the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. The recording combines a prominent horn sample from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” with a forceful pop, R&B, and hip-hop arrangement.
Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, making the track an early high-profile musical collaboration between the two artists. They later married in 2008 and collaborated repeatedly, but “Crazy in Love” predates their marriage and was already a major hit on its own.
The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of Beyoncé’s signature recordings. It is sometimes mixed up with “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé-and-Jay-Z duet from 2013, but the famous opening exclamation and horn-driven arrangement belong to “Crazy in Love.”
