Which Beyoncé song features the rap verse “Young Hov”?

Beyoncé’s song “Crazy in Love” features Jay-Z, whose rap verse includes the phrase “Young Hov.”

Released in 2003, the song was the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Its production prominently uses a horn sample from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” giving the track its immediately recognizable opening.

Jay-Z’s contribution made the recording a high-profile collaboration between two artists who later married. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of Beyoncé’s best-known early solo releases.

“Drunk in Love” is another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration, which can cause confusion. However, “Young Hov” belongs to the rap section of “Crazy in Love,” not to that later song. The track’s title describes the song’s central theme of overwhelming romantic attraction.
