In "Halo", Beyonc professes her all-encompassing fondness to her lover with open-hearted emotion.[13][18][24] She said, "['Halo'] is angelic ... like you see [angels'] faces instantly when you hear it. [Its lyrics] are basically saying that I had these walls built up about love; you completely tore them down and when I look at you I see your halo, it's really beautiful".[25] Backed by a piano, claps and step stomps that set a spiritualized atmosphere,[13][16] Beyonc opens the song with the lines: "Remember those walls I built? / Well, baby, they're tumbling down".[18] She sings the introduction in a low register, and the power of her voice gradually increases as the song progresses.[10] In the pre-chorus, she chants, "Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace / baby I can see your halo, you know you're my saving grace / you're everything I need and more, it's written all over your face".[8][17] Beyonc then echoes the word "halo" in the chorus;[10] the third and final one is preceded by a 1980s drum breakdown, and is complemented by sweeping strings and percussion.[12][26]

Soon after composing "Halo", Tedder worked with Kelly Clarkson on her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted (2009), for which they wrote "Already Gone" together.[45] When the song came out, critics noted a resemblance to Beyonc's "Halo".[46] Clarkson, however, initially stated that she was unaware of any similarities between the two songs.[47] She eventually realized their resemblance when she listened to both recordings closely; the similarities are most notable in the backing tracks, which in both cases feature a melancholy piano, loud drums, and handclaps.[46] Clarkson tried to prevent "Already Gone" from being included on All I Ever Wanted, but it was impossible to make last minute changes, as her album was already being printed when I Am... Sasha Fierce was released.[45] She accused Tedder of using the same arrangement on both "Already Gone" and "Halo", and complained that people would, incorrectly, assume she was stealing it from Beyonc.[45]

Clarkson was furious, and confronted Tedder on the phone.[45] In response, Tedder commented that he would never give two artists the same musical arrangement, and that her criticism was "hurtful and absurd".[48] He asserted that the concept, melodies, and lyrics of "Already Gone" and "Halo" are completely different.[48] Calling "Already Gone" one of the best songs he had ever composed, Tedder challenged people to "listen [to the two ballads] and form their own opinions".[48] Clarkson also tried to stop her label, RCA, from releasing "Already Gone" as a single because she wanted to respect Beyonc,[49] but they went against her will and released it.[45] She said, "It's one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it."[50] Clarkson later told James Montgomery of MTV News that it was unfortunate "Already Gone" and "Halo" sound so similar, but noted that at least they have different vocal melodies.[47]

"Halo" was nominated for Best Single at the 2009 Urban Music Awards,[55] and for Best Love Song at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.[56] It won the Best Song award at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009.[57] The ballad was placed at number seven of Rap-Up's list of the 25 best songs of 2009.[58] "Halo" was nominated at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in the categories of Record of the Year[59] and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, winning the latter.[60] It also won Best Foreign Song at the 2010 Croatian Porin Awards.[61] The live version of "Halo", featured on I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas (2009), was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.[62] The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) recognized "Halo" as one of the most performed songs of 2009 at the 27th ASCAP Pop Music Awards.[63] On the occasion of Beyonc's thirtieth birthday in 2011, Erika Ramirez and Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine placed the ballad at number 18 on their list of Beyonc's 30 biggest Billboard hits.[3] On The Village Voice' year-end Pazz & Jop singles list, "Halo" was ranked at numbers 878 and 124 in 2008 and 2009 respectively.[64][65] In 2013, John Boone and Jennifer Cady of E! Online placed the song at number three on their list of the ten best Beyonc's songs, writing that other power ballads "don't come more powerful than this one, which finds Beyonc belting alongside what sounds to be every instrument in the entire world (including a dope one-second drum solo)".[66] Consequence of Sound named "Halo" the 23rd best song of 2009.[67]

Beyonc has performed "Halo" for several tributes. On June 25, 2009, American singer Michael Jackson died. During some concerts, an image of Jackson was shown on the main screen and she changed the lyrics to "Michael I can see your halo / I pray your music won't fade away".[118] On January 12, 2010, Haiti was struck by an earthquake. A charity telethon called Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief took place on January 22, 2010, in which many artists participated.[119][120] Beyonc performed an acoustic version of "Halo" with Coldplay's lead vocalist Chris Martin playing the piano.[119][121] To make the song match the night's purpose,[122] She sang "Haiti, we can see your halo / You know you're my saving grace / You're everything I need and more, it's written all over your face / Haiti, we can see your halo / I pray you won't fade away".[123] The version was included on the 2010 live album Hope for Haiti Now.[123] Following the death of Whitney Houston earlier that year, Beyonc performed a tribute during her Live revue in May 2012, at the Revel resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[124][125] Beyonc began the performance of "Halo" singing the first verse of Houston's "I Will Always Love You".[125] Maura Johnston of The Village Voice praised the performance noting that "the most basically structured song [...] could be turned into something glorious with the right singer".[125] Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly wrote that it was "the most attention-grabbing moments of the night".[124] Ben Ratliff of The New York Times highlighted the performance.[126] In January 2020, Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash. Beyonc sang "Halo" during their memorial the following month.[127]

In an interview with Canada's CBC radio network, the former "American Idol" champ said she was unaware of any similarities between her song and Beyonc's "Halo" until she heard the two songs side by side (according to Clarkson, her [article id="1611655"]All I Ever Wanted[/article] album was finished before Beyonc's [article id="1597718"]I Am ... Sasha Fierce[/article] was released). And she's not mincing words about who she blames for the similarities: OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote both songs.

"Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. He's from Oklahoma, I'm from Texas; we got along really well and had some of the same influences," Clarkson said. "We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I'd never heard of a song called 'Halo' ... [Beyonc's] album came out when my album was already being printed.

This song has a really BIG structure. If you think of some songs as intimate, cozy houses and others as large hotels then this one is a skyscraper. It has a double verse, pre-chorus, a long-ish chorus, and an early example of a post-chorus. No need for a bridge section to add length!
