Which Beyoncé song was featured in the 2003 film Austin Powers in Goldmember?

Beyoncé’s song “Work It Out” was featured in the 2003 film Austin Powers in Goldmember.

“Work It Out” was Beyoncé’s first solo single and served as the lead single from the Austin Powers in Goldmember soundtrack. She also appeared in the film as Foxxy Cleopatra, an FBI agent and singer whose character parodies the style of 1970s blaxploitation heroines.

The song was written by Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, and Chad Hugo, with production by The Neptunes. Its funk-influenced sound connected Beyoncé’s emerging solo identity with the film’s retro musical style.

The track is sometimes confused with “Check on It,” another Beyoncé song associated with a film, The Pink Panther. It is also distinct from “Listen,” which Beyoncé performed for Dreamgirls several years later.
