"Crazy in Love" is a song recorded by American singer Beyonc, featuring a rap verse and ad-libs from her future husband Jay-Z from her debut solo studio album Dangerously in Love (2003). The song was released as the album's lead single on May 14, 2003, through Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment. Both artists wrote and composed the song in collaboration with Rich Harrison and Eugene Record; the former also produced it with Beyonc. Using samples from the Chi-Lites's 1970 song "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)", "Crazy in Love" is a pop, hip hop and R&B love song that incorporates elements of soul, and 1970s-style funk music. Its lyrics describe a romantic obsession that causes the protagonist to act out of character.

According to Natalie Nichols of the Los Angeles Times, the lyrics of "Crazy in Love" reference a state of romantic obsession.[22] Beyonc said that the song talks "about how, when you are falling in love, you do things that are out of character and you do not really care because you are just open."[23] Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone wrote that "Crazy in Love" has "such a cauldron of energy," that Beyonc sounds "loose and sexy," gripped by emotions she "can neither understand nor control."[12] The lyrics are composed in the traditional verse-chorus form. Jay Z opens the song with a brief spoken verse-rap, containing the lyrics: "Yes! So crazy right now. Most incredibly, it's your girl, B. It's your boy, Young. You ready?"[19] After Beyonc delivers the "uh-oh, uh-oh" catchphrase, Jay Z continues the monologue.[15] Beyonc begins the first verse, followed with the whistle-backed chorus.[21] She repeats the "uh-oh, uh-oh" phrase, leading to the second verse. The chorus follows, giving way to the second verse-rap which contains the lyrics: "Jay Z in the range, crazy and deranged [...] I been iller than chain smokers, how you think I got the name 'Hova', I been real and the game's over".[13] The song continues to the bridge, singing: "I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this, / I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care / 'Cuz your love's got the best of me, / And baby, you're making a fool of me, / You got me sprung and I don't care who sees."[24] She then sings the chorus again and the song fades out with the horns.[19]

The music video of "Crazy in Love", released in May 2003, was directed by Jake Nava and filmed in downtown Los Angeles.[73] In MTV Making of the Video 2003 documentary, Beyonc described the video's conception: "[It] celebrates the evolution of a woman. It is about a girl who is at the point of a relationship. She realizes that she is in love, she is doing stuff she would not normally do but she does not care. It does not matter she is just crazy in love."[74]

"Crazy in Love" was re-recorded by Beyonc for the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) and used for its trailer, which was released on July 24, 2014.[177] The slowed-down version was produced by Boots with violin arrangements by Margot, both of whom worked on Beyonc's self-titled fifth studio album (2013), and, unlike the original, doesn't feature Jay-Z. Margot said: "It inspires me to work on other artists' songs [because] it pushes my boundaries in a direction that I wouldn't necessarily come up with. Obviously I know how 'Crazy in Love' goes, but I knew there was the possibility her vocals would be different. It's almost more vulnerable and beautiful this way, because you do do crazy things when you fall in love. To hear the mood reversed and flipped makes it even more powerful."[178]

Dangerously in Love was titled after a track of the same title from Destiny's Child's third studio album Survivor (2001), which Beyonc re-recorded for the album. The song itself is lyrically about being romantically obsessed,[24] as indicated in the chorus: "I am in love with you / You set me free / I can't do this thing called life without you here with me".[25] When "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" was released as a single in October 2002, critics and the public had speculated that Beyonc and Jay-Z were having a mutual affair.[26] Despite widespread rumors, they remained silent about their relationship.[12] According to critics, the album's title sounded "more intriguing" with Beyonc singing personal songs.[2] Though love was the theme Beyonc had incorporated in the album, "most of the material is vague enough to be about any relationship"; some tracks, however, alluded to the accuracy of the rumors.[12] In response to the rumors allegedly echoed in the album's title, Beyonc stated: "People can come to whatever conclusion they like... That's the beauty of music... I'm a singer, I'll talk about writing songs all you want. But when it comes to certain personal things any normal person wouldn't tell people they don't know, I just feel like I don't have to [talk about it]."[12]

In April 2003, Columbia Records was choosing the lead single from Dangerously in Love between two songs. Sent to clubs, the song that would receive better reception would be selected as the lead single.[36] Finally, "Crazy in Love" was released as the lead single on May 14, 2003. It was lauded by critics who described it as "deliriously catchy".[40] The single topped the US Billboard Hot 100, based on heavy rotation alone.[41] The same week the song reached number one, Dangerously in Love topped the Billboard 200 as well. The substantial airplay and later retail sales of "Crazy in Love" facilitated it to dominate the chart,[42] subsequently spending eight straight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100,[43] making it Beyonc's first number-one single in her solo career. According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Crazy in Love" was the most downloaded song in the United States for four consecutive weeks in July 2003.[43] The digital single was certified sextuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[44] The song also became a success internationally, reaching the top of the charts in Croatia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.[45][46] At the 46th Annual Grammy Awards (2004), the song won Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.[47][48] Its Jake Nava-directed accompanying music video "celebrates the evolution of a woman. It is about a girl who is at the point of a relationship. She realizes that she is in love, she is doing stuff she would not normally do but she does not care. It does not matter she is just crazy in love."[49] Critically acclaimed, the video won Best Female Video, Best R&B Video and Best Choreography in a Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.[50]

LUSE: So Beyonce and Rich Harrison get in touch. And when he gets the call from Beyonce that she wants to hear some tracks for him, he knew that this was the person he had been saving this track for. And he was so confident that she would love it that the night before their meeting, he went out partying to celebrate. And the next day, he was late to the meeting. Imagine in 2023 a producer getting a call from Beyonce and going out the night before partying and showing up late to the meeting. Imagine that in 2023. You wouldn't dare.

LUSE: OK. So in that studio, a hungover Rich Harrison plays Beyonce that track. Rich says that Beyonce said, I love the idea. Now write the song. I'll be back in two hours. So he just had the beat. He had not written a single word of the song yet.

LUSE: By the time Beyonce came back, he had laid down the chorus and the verses. You got me sprung. I don't care who sees. Got me looking so crazy right now. Like, that was just what came from that remark from Beyonce. Like, oh, my God, I hope I don't - I hope the paparazzi don't see me. I'm looking so crazy right now.

HUNTER: That Versace whole collection - we fell in love with it. It was just, like, a cool, urban but yet chic look. And to be honest with you, Donatella sent me and Miss Tina the whole collection to play with.

HUNTER: And I love Beyonce because she loves to empower women and beautiful women, and she want them to look hot, too. You know what I mean? Like, it's rare that you find a star that want - she wants them to shine as bright as her. She believes in the whole packages being bright.

LUSE: You know, I also think it's interesting that in that video, Beyonce goes from the girl next door to, like, a superstar by the time you get to that ending Versace look. You know, it kind of makes me think back to still that first outfit. I love that there was that look in there because, I mean, trust - I was emulating some form of the white tank top and the denim Daisy Dukes and heels, like, throughout my early 20s.

QURESHI: Like, I think that's one of the big things that people in the music industry have been talking about - is the sort of end of the monoculture, right? Like, that term, which is everywhere - that there used to be these, like, movie stars that - do we have movie stars anymore? Do we have a certain music star that sort of is collectively loved by across - and maybe some of it is not love, but you're forced to love 'cause they're everywhere. It's sort of cliche and not that insightful, I suppose, to say that, like, the streaming age, the AirPod age - like, we're all plugged into our own realities now, right? And so that's a big part of what I think has really changed. We don't really have a monoculture superstar anymore because we also don't really have a monoculture, and we have an AirPod culture.

LUSE: But still, that experience of being in a stadium with tens of thousands of other people who are just as psyched to be there as you are, who love the music and who are there to take in this amazing show and share in this experience together. What do you think we lose if we all can't share an experience like that?

QURESHI: Well, I also think we shouldn't underestimate, like, how big of a thing it is for, like, how people also perceive America, not only at home but also abroad. You know, American pop culture, for better and worse, a lot of people would think it's a very - overly dominant and, like, almost imperial force. But part of the reason I think everyone around the world loved America and loves America sometimes is because our pop culture is, like, such a global force. And people have tended to look at America as a place of, you know, positive, optimistic thought in the past. I'm not sure if everybody always does now. But I do think that, you know - I mean and, you know, the other thing is, like, we now have lots of new centers of pop, right? I mean, some could argue that, like, what's happening with Afro pop or what's happening with pop in Latin America and in the Middle East... 0852c4b9a8
