Which Beyoncé song includes the repeated phrase “all the single ladies”?

The story behind the answer

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” includes the repeated phrase “all the single ladies.”

The song was released in 2008 as a single from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its lyrics address romantic commitment, while its sharply choreographed black-and-white video helped make the song a defining pop-culture moment.

The video’s dance routine, especially the “single ladies” hand gesture, became widely imitated. Beyoncé performs the song with two dancers, and the minimal visual style places strong emphasis on movement and timing.

The song won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. Its title is often shortened informally, but the canonical title includes the subtitle “Put a Ring on It.”
