Which Beyoncé song features Jay-Z and begins with a famous siren?

“Crazy in Love” is the Beyoncé song featuring Jay-Z that begins with a famous siren-like brass hook.

Released in 2003, the song was the lead single from Dangerously in Love, Beyoncé’s debut solo studio album. Its production was built around a prominent horn sample from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” giving the track its instantly recognizable opening.

Jay-Z appears as a featured rapper, and the collaboration became one of Beyoncé’s signature recordings. The song reached number one in the United States and the United Kingdom and won Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

The title is sometimes mixed up with “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration from a later period. They are separate songs with different albums, production, and release dates.
