Which song won Beyonce a Grammy Award for Best R&B song in 2015?

The story behind the answer

“Drunk in Love” won Beyoncé the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015. The song featured her husband Jay Z and appeared on her self-titled 2013 visual album, Beyoncé.

The award recognized the songwriters, including Beyoncé, Shawn Carter, Timothy Mosley, Jerome Harmon, Rasool Diaz, Noel Fisher, Andre Eric Proctor, and Brian Soko. “Drunk in Love” also won Best R&B Performance that night, giving Beyoncé and Jay Z two awards for the same recording.

The song became one of the signature tracks from Beyoncé, an album released without a traditional promotional campaign or advance announcement in December 2013. Its sensual lyrics, trap-influenced production, and dramatic vocal performance helped make it a standout on the album. The famous live performance at the 2014 Grammy Awards also increased its cultural visibility.

A common mix-up is “7/11,” another Beyoncé song from the same era. “7/11” was a single from the platinum edition of Beyoncé, but it was not the 2015 Best R&B Song winner. “Drunk in Love” was the official Grammy winner in the category.
