Who joined Beyoncé on the song “Crazy in Love”?
Answer
Jay-Z
Jay-Z joined Beyoncé on the song “Crazy in Love.”
Released in 2003, “Crazy in Love” was the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Its production prominently uses a sample of the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” transformed into the song’s instantly recognizable horn hook.
Jay-Z contributed a rap verse, making the track a major collaboration between two artists who later married. The song topped charts in several countries and became one of Beyoncé’s signature recordings.
The track is sometimes confused with later Beyoncé-Jay-Z collaborations such as “Drunk in Love” or songs from their joint project as The Carters. “Crazy in Love” belongs specifically to Beyoncé’s first solo-album era and helped define her transition from group member to solo star.
