Which Beyoncé song features the lyric-driven hook “Put a ring on it”?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the Beyoncé song built around the “Put a ring on it” hook.

The song was released in 2008 as a single from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. It was written by Terius “The-Dream” Nash, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Beyoncé, and Thaddis Harrell, and produced by The-Dream, Stewart, and Beyoncé.

Its black-and-white music video became especially famous for tightly synchronized choreography, including the dance move often called the “Single Ladies” dance. The video helped the song become a major cultural reference beyond its chart success.

The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards at the 52nd ceremony in 2010, including Song of the Year. The phrase is sometimes shortened to “Single Ladies,” but the full official title includes “Put a Ring on It.”
