Which Beyoncé song won Song of the Year at the 2010 Grammys?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” won Song of the Year at the 2010 Grammy Awards.

The song appeared on Beyoncé’s 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce. It was written by Terius “The-Dream” Nash, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Beyoncé, Thaddis Harrell, and Knowles. Its lyrics focus on commitment and the expectation that an interested partner should make the relationship official.

The single became especially recognizable for its black-and-white music video, directed by Jake Nava. The video featured Beyoncé and two dancers performing tightly synchronized choreography, and its “put a ring on it” phrase quickly entered popular culture.

At the 52nd Grammy Awards in 2010, the song won Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. Song of the Year honors the songwriters, while Record of the Year honors the recorded performance, an important distinction in Grammy terminology.
