Which Beyoncé song features the repeated lyric “put a ring on it” in its chorus?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s song featuring the repeated lyric “put a ring on it” is “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

The song was released in October 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, Tricky Stewart, and Beyoncé.

Its black-and-white music video became especially famous for a tightly synchronized dance routine. The choreography was created by Frank Gatson Jr. and JaQuel Knight, with the video directed by Jake Nava. The visual’s single-glove styling and group choreography became widely imitated.

“Single Ladies” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year in 2010. The song is sometimes referred to simply as “Single Ladies,” but its full official title includes the parenthetical phrase “Put a Ring on It.”
