Which Beyoncé song from I Am... Sasha Fierce became famous for its “put a ring on it” chorus?

The story behind the answer

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the Beyoncé song known for its “put a ring on it” chorus.

The song was released in 2008 as a single from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its lyrics focus on commitment and a woman’s response to a former partner who failed to propose.

The black-and-white music video, directed by Jake Nava, features Beyoncé and dancers performing sharply synchronized choreography. The video’s simple visual style and distinctive dance became central to the song’s cultural impact.

The track won three Grammy Awards at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. “Single Ladies” is sometimes shortened in conversation, but its full official title includes the parenthetical phrase.
