Which Beyoncé song features Jay-Z and begins her 2003 solo era?

“Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z and began Beyoncé’s 2003 solo era.

Released in May 2003, the song was the lead single from Dangerously in Love, Beyoncé’s first solo studio album. Its production prominently uses a sample from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” a 1970s recording by the Chi-Lites.

Jay-Z appears as a guest rapper, making the track an early high-profile musical collaboration between the two artists. The song became a defining early hit for Beyoncé as an independent headliner and topped the Billboard Hot 100.

The title is sometimes mixed up with “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released more than a decade later. “Déjà Vu” was also a Beyoncé single featuring Jay-Z, but it appeared on B’Day in 2006.
