Which song earned Beyoncé the 2010 Grammy for Song of the Year?

The story behind the answer

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” earned Beyoncé the 2010 Grammy for Song of the Year.

The song appeared on Beyoncé’s third solo studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, released in 2008. It was written by Terius “The-Dream” Nash, Tricky Stewart, Beyoncé, and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart. The upbeat R&B track centers on commitment and independence, while its black-and-white video features sharply synchronized choreography.

At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2010, the song won Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. It became one of Beyoncé’s signature recordings. The Grammy category is sometimes confused with Record of the Year, which recognizes the recording itself; Song of the Year honors songwriting.
