Jay-Z appears with Beyoncé on her 2003 hit “Crazy in Love.”
The song was released as the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Its production centers on a prominent sampled horn riff from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” creating one of the track’s most recognizable musical features.
Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, while Beyoncé delivers the main vocal performance. The song became a defining early statement of her solo career and reached number one in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The collaboration also became notable because Beyoncé and Jay-Z later married in 2008. Their professional partnership continued across numerous songs and performances.
