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

Beyoncé’s song “Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z and begins with a prominent sampled horn riff.

Released in 2003, the track served as the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, while Beyoncé delivers the main vocal over a driving production built around a horn sample.

The horn riff comes from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” a 1970s song by the Chi-Lites. The sample gives “Crazy in Love” its instantly recognizable opening and connects the modern hit to Chicago soul music.

The song became one of Beyoncé’s signature recordings, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning Grammy Awards in 2004. It is distinct from “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released more than a decade later.
