Jay-Z appears with Beyoncé on the 2003 hit single “Crazy in Love.”
The song was released as the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. It combines a prominent horn sample from the Chi-Lites’ “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” with a fast, dance-oriented R&B production.
Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, making the recording a high-profile collaboration between two artists who later married. “Crazy in Love” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of Beyoncé’s signature songs.
The song is sometimes confused with “03 Bonnie & Clyde,” an earlier Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released in 2002. “Crazy in Love” is the 2003 Beyoncé solo single and features Jay-Z as the guest rapper.
