Which Beyoncé song is known for its “put a ring on it” chorus?

The story behind the answer

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

The song was released in 2008 as a single from Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Its lyrics address commitment and independence, while its memorable black-and-white video centers on Beyoncé and two dancers performing energetic choreography.

The video’s dance became a global pop-culture phenomenon, especially the sharply repeated hand and hip movements. The song won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.

The phrase is often shortened to “Single Ladies,” but the full official title includes “(Put a Ring on It). It should not be confused with the album’s contrasting ballad “If I Were a Boy,” which was released as a companion single from the same project.
