Which song gave Beyoncé her first Grammy Award as a performer?

The story behind the answer

“Say My Name” gave Beyoncé her first Grammy Award as a performer.

The song was recorded by Destiny’s Child and released from the group’s third album, The Writing’s on the Wall. At the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001, it won Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song.

Beyoncé shared those awards with her Destiny’s Child bandmates and the song’s other writers and producers. The track became one of the group’s signature recordings, built around a tense lyric about confronting a suspicious partner.

People sometimes identify “Crazy in Love” as Beyoncé’s first Grammy-winning song because it was her first major solo-era hit. However, “Say My Name” predates her solo career and provided her first Grammy wins.
