Which Beyoncé song features Jay-Z and opens with a sampled horn fanfare?

Beyoncé’s song “Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z and opens with a sampled horn fanfare.

Released in 2003 as the lead single from Dangerously in Love, the track was built around a prominent brass sample from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So).” Rich Harrison produced the song and helped shape its instantly recognizable rhythmic arrangement.

Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, making the single an early major musical collaboration between the two artists. They were already romantically linked in the public eye, but the song’s importance rests on its musical impact as well as their relationship.

“Crazy in Love” became Beyoncé’s first solo number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. It has remained one of her signature songs and is often cited as a defining early-2000s pop and R&B recording.
