Which Beyoncé song won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 52nd ceremony?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” won Song of the Year at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

The song was released in 2008 as a single from I Am... Sasha Fierce. It was written by Terius “The-Dream” Nash, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Thaddis Harrell, and Beyoncé. The recording became known for its energetic rhythm, repeated hook, and the theme of commitment in a romantic relationship.

At the 2010 Grammys, it won three awards: Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. Song of the Year honors the songwriters, whereas Record of the Year honors the recording itself. That distinction explains why the award is associated with the song’s writing team rather than only with Beyoncé as performer.
