Destiny’s Child won both Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for “Say My Name” at the 43rd Grammy Awards.
The song was released in 1999 as the third single from the group’s second album, The Writing’s on the Wall. Its production was led by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels, and Beyoncé, among other credited writers and producers.
“Say My Name” became one of Destiny’s Child’s signature songs. Its lyrics describe suspicion and confrontation in a romantic relationship, while the production uses layered vocals, rhythmic repetition, and a distinctive bass-driven arrangement.
At the 2001 Grammy ceremony, the song won two awards. That result is distinct from “Survivor,” which later won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
