Jay-Z is featured on Beyoncé’s song “Drunk in Love.” The track appears on Beyoncé’s self-titled fifth studio album, which was released without advance promotion in December 2013.
“Drunk in Love” was written by Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Detail, Andre Eric Proctor, Rasool Diaz, Brian Soko, and Timothy Thomas, among others. The recording combines atmospheric R&B production with a rap verse from Jay-Z. It became one of the album’s most prominent songs and reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The song also won two Grammy Awards at the 57th ceremony: Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. Beyoncé and Jay-Z performed it together at the 2014 Grammy Awards, reinforcing the public association between the recording and their marriage.
“Drunk in Love” is distinct from “Crazy in Love,” their earlier collaboration from 2003. Both songs feature the couple, but they belong to different Beyoncé albums and were released more than a decade apart.
