Which Beyoncé song from I Am... Sasha Fierce became famous for its single-ladies dance?

The story behind the answer

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” is the Beyoncé song from I Am... Sasha Fierce famous for its single-ladies dance.

The song was released in 2008 as one of the album’s lead singles. Its production uses a prominent rhythmic pulse, handclaps, and a chant-like chorus built around the demand that an unmarried partner make a clear commitment.

The black-and-white music video, directed by Jake Nava, features Beyoncé and two dancers performing tightly synchronized choreography. The video’s simple visual design and energetic routine helped the song become a major part of internet and popular culture.

The track won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. It is often shortened in conversation to “Single Ladies,” but its official title includes “Put a Ring on It.”
