Which Beyoncé song features Jay-Z and begins with a prominent horn sample?

Beyoncé’s song “Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z and begins with a prominent horn sample. It was released in 2003 as the lead single from her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love.

The song was built around a sample from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” a 1970s recording by the Chi-Lites. Producer Rich Harrison created the distinctive horn hook, while Beyoncé and Jay-Z combined R&B singing with rap. The urgent arrangement and repeated refrain helped make the track one of the defining pop-R&B singles of the early 2000s.

“Crazy in Love” became Beyoncé’s first solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It also won major honors at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. It is sometimes mixed up with “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration from 2013, but “Crazy in Love” is the earlier song and the one identified by its instantly recognizable opening horns.
