Which song was Beyoncé’s first solo single and features Jay-Z?

Beyoncé’s first solo single featuring Jay-Z was “Crazy in Love.”

Released in 2003, the song became the lead single from her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Its production prominently samples the 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” by the Chi-Lites, especially through its famous horn riff.

Jay-Z contributes a rap verse, while Beyoncé delivers the sung sections and the repeated hook. The collaboration connected her emerging solo identity with one of hip-hop’s most prominent artists and became a defining early-2000s pop and R&B recording.

“Crazy in Love” topped charts in multiple countries and won Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. It is distinct from “Drunk in Love,” another Beyoncé and Jay-Z collaboration released more than a decade later.
