Which Beyoncé song features Jay-Z and opens with the famous word “uh-oh”?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s song featuring Jay-Z that opens with the famous “uh-oh” vocal is “Crazy in Love.”

Released in 2003, the song was the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Its production was built around a prominent horn sample from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” by the Chicago funk group the Chi-Lites.

Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, while Beyoncé delivers the main vocal and the instantly recognizable chorus. The song’s energetic arrangement helped establish her identity as a solo pop and R&B star after years with Destiny’s Child.

“Crazy in Love” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won two Grammy Awards in 2004. It is distinct from “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released a decade later.
