About Baby Boy (Beyoncé song) in brief
\”Baby Boy\” is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé featuring Jamaican dancehall singer Sean Paul from Beyoncé’s debut solo studio album Dangerously in Love. Both artists co-wrote the song with Scott Storch, Robert Waller and Shawn \”Jay-Z\” Carter; the former also co-produced the song. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks. It reached the top ten in many countries and was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers recognized it as one of the most performed songs of 2004. In 2005, American singer-songwriter Jennifer Armour filed a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming that the song had used the primary musical hook from her song \”Got a Little Bit of Love for You\”. The suit was later dismissed. It was released as a CD and 12-inch single in the United States on August 3, 2003, and as a maxi single in Germany and the United Kingdom on October 13, 2003. It is considered to be a sequel to Jay-Z’s song \”’03 Bonnie & Clyde’ featuring Beyoncé. The lyrics detail a woman’s fantasies, and in keeping with the album’s overall theme, Beyoncé deemed them as personal to her. Beyoncé has remained a staple of her concert set lists since the release of the album in 2003. The single was released for maxi singles in Canada and the U.S. on October 14 and October 15, 2003 respectively.
It has been certified platinum in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. It also reached the number one spot in many other countries, including the Netherlands and Germany. The track is a midtempo contemporary R&B and dancehall song with reggae, house and South Asian influences, and was composed using common time in the key of C minor, and set in moderate groove of 92 beats per minute. It contains a lyrical interpolation of \”No Fear\” by hip hop group O. G. C. used towards the ending of the song: \”We steppin’ in hotter this year\”. Beyoncé had the idea that it would be \”perfect\” if Jamaican reggae artist Sean Paul contributed a vocal track. Sean Paul agreed, and they finished recording \”Baby Boy” in March 2003, during the later stages of the recording. He contributed a toast verse, and he also sang the other verses and all other verses to all other songs on the album. The music video was directed by Jake Nava and mostly shows Beyoncé dancing in various locations. The song is based on the reggae song \”Here Comes the Hotstepper\” performed by Jamaican singer Ini Kamoze. The video was released on October 6, 2003 and was released in Canada the following day and in Germany the next day.
