Which Beyoncé song features the repeated lyric and dance concept “put a ring on it”?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the Beyoncé song built around the “put a ring on it” lyric and dance concept.

Released in 2008, the song was the lead single from Beyoncé’s third solo studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its black-and-white video features Beyoncé and two dancers performing tightly synchronized choreography, which became one of the most recognizable pop-dance routines of the era.

The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. The phrase became widely quoted beyond the song itself and is often used when discussing engagement and marriage.

A common mix-up is “Single Ladies” with “If I Were a Boy,” another single from the same album. The two songs were paired as contrasting sides of Beyoncé’s stage persona, but only “Single Ladies” contains the ring-centered hook.
