“Say My Name” won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The song was performed by Destiny’s Child and appeared on the group’s second album, The Writing’s on the Wall.
The track was written by Beyoncé, LaShawn Daniels, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, and LeToya Luckett, among others. Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins produced it, using a distinctive arrangement built around repeated vocal responses and a tense, conversational lyric.
“Say My Name” became Destiny’s Child’s first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. Its video introduced a revised visual lineup after Luckett and LaTavia Roberson had departed, with Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin appearing before Franklin later left the group.
The song also won the Grammy for Best R&B Song at the same ceremony. It is therefore important to distinguish the 2001 awards from Beyoncé’s first solo Grammy wins, which came after her solo debut.
