The Beyoncé song built around the hook “Halo” is titled “Halo.”
“ Halo” was released in 2009 as the fourth single from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. The song is a pop and R&B power ballad about an idealized romantic partner whose presence feels almost heavenly, which explains its recurring imagery of a halo.
Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart, and Beyoncé are credited as the song’s writers. Tedder also produced the recording with additional production from Beyoncé. The song became an international hit and reached the top ten in numerous countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
The title is sometimes confused with similarly named songs such as “Heaven” or “Angels,” but neither is the Beyoncé single. “Halo” also became one of the most frequently covered songs associated with her early solo catalog.
