Top Songs About Featuring Beyonce

It’s safe to say that Beyoncé is not a novice when it comes to working on iconic collabs with other artists. It should come as no surprise that she has been featured by some of the biggest stars in the music industry given that she is one of the most well-known figures in the music industry.

The following is a ranking of all of the occasions on which Beyoncé graciously lent her heavenly vocals to someone else.

11 Songs Featuring Beyonce

1. Kelly Rowland

(Ft.) Beyonce

Michelle Williams - Say Yes ft. Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland

First on our list of best songs featuring beyonce is this mellow and beautiful track where Kelly Rowland and her Destiny’s Child bandmates reconnect.

After working together on “Nuclear” for the Destiny’s Child album Love Songs, this was their first time working together again. “What made me who I am at my core was Destiny’s Child.

For the record, I hold Destiny’s Child in high regard “According to what Rowland shared with Radio.com. “I’ve been working on the album with my sisters Beyoncé and Michelle, and I can’t wait for the world to hear our contributions. Written and produced by Harmony and Courtney Harrell, respectively, our combined vocals shine.”

For those curious about the song’s deeper meaning, Rowland shared: “The story revolves around a couple whose relationship has become strained. It’s just not the best place for it. The record is written in a way that is truly brilliant.”

2. “Runnin’ (Lose It All),”

Naughty Boy ft. Beyoncé, Arrow Benjamin - Runnin' (Lose It All) [Official Video]

This is a soul-lifting song and one of the best songs featuring beyonce i handpicked, it seems to be about two things:

a) The strength of a relationship can only be determined by the strength of its components, and b) Being true to who you are. A simple, albeit important sentiment. Yes, the characters in this song enjoy each other’s company the most when they are together (ah, love!), but they are both aware that they run the risk of “losing it all” if they lose sight of who they are as individuals. The one and only way to truly “win it all” as a team? Stop runnin’.

3. By the Throne, Lift Off

Kanye West & Jay-Z - Lift Off (Feat. Beyoncé)

Next on our list of best songs featuring beyonce is “Lift Off” created by American rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West. It also features Beyoncé, who is an American singer and the wife of Jay-Z. The song references astronomyy.

Some have criticized “Lift Off,” saying that the song’s planetary-themed hook and lyrics are meaningless. However, the lines are metaphorical and should not be taken literally. Regarding the criticisms that this song is a self-centred, get-rich-quick anthem by the trio while their fans are experiencing a recession, we say to those people to lighten up because it is a pop song.

The song “Lift Off” is a straightforward anthem to following your dreams to the fullest extent possible. These days, it’s unusual to find a song with such a sincere message. Consequently, rather than being criticized, Hov, Yeezy, and Bey should be praised.

4. ‘Love in This Club’ by Usher (featuring Jeezy, Beyonce)

Exactly what it sounds like, this song is about making out in a club. Usher walks us through how to have a sexual escapade in public, from flirting with the girl to buying her a drink and figuring out where to go (the answer: it doesn’t matter who’s watching).

He even manages to avoid the standard problem that most guys have when trying to pick up a girl in a club: her girlfriends. Usher is prepared for this as well, with his wingmen on standby to deal with them.

5. Eminem and featuring Beyoncé, “Walk On Water”

Eminem - Walk On Water (Official Video)

Em goes into a contemplative mode and discusses his self-doubts about his place in the hip-hop industry and his level of fame.

Em opens up about how, despite his many accomplishments, he still gets nervous before going into the studio, while Beyoncé provides an uplifting hook about celebrities being human.

The rap superstar opens up immediately about the pressure he feels to satisfy his rabid fan base. Despite being a skilled wordsmith, Em’s energy is being depleted by the constant pressure to deliver a flawless verse every time. As much as he enjoys a good challenge, the thought of caving under the weight of expectation and writing a trite poem haunts him.

After nearly 20 years in the industry, Em still hasn’t given in to the pressure to retire like so many of his fellow creatives. So instead of saying goodbye to the genre he helped create, Shady makes it clear that he will have the last word on his exit.

6. By Jay-Z and Beyonce, “Family Feud”

JAY-Z - Family Feud ft. Beyoncé

Jay-Z uses this opportunity to speak out about the problems that have arisen between different factions in the hip-hop world. Rap battles are nothing new, especially when comparing artists from different eras; Jay-Z, for example, has been accused of engaging in covert diss tracks with Drake, who is nearly a decade his junior.

The Brooklyn MC wrote this song as a plea to his fellow rappers. To iHeartRadio, he elaborated: “The show “Family Feud” explores the theme of cultural divide.

Instances of newer rappers engaging in verbal battles with more established lyricists are cited as examples. This leads to the adage that “Nobody wins when the family feuds.””

Beyoncé, Jay-wife, Z’s sings in the background and provides the song’s final verse. The gospel song “Ha Ya” by The Clark Sisters from 1980 is referenced in this song.

7. Until the end of time

Justin Timberlake - Until The End Of Time ft. Beyoncé (Official Video)

When it comes to romantic relationships, this song is a perfect representation of what listeners “dream” of. The belief that one can “live in” one’s relationship to the exclusion of all else.

The idea of “forever” also functions as a “dream” in this tune. Simply promise me you won’t ever let me go. It’s a fun song because of how well it transports the listener to a daydreamy state of mind, despite being obviously based on an unrealistic view of relationships.

8. DJ Khaled Featuring Jay Z & Beyoncé Shining

Dj Khaled - Shining Ft. Beyonce & JAY Z (Grateful)

One of the most well-known songs featuring Beyonce is this ode to unabashed pride, “Shinning” a joyous musical experience. The majority of the single celebrates the success of music’s strongest power couple. Queen Bey sings about winning since 1997, when Destiny’s Child was formed, while Jay Z raps about owning “twin Mercedes” and having won 12 platinum albums and 21 Grammys.

You also can’t fault the two of them for being boastful. Even though she was passed over for major awards like Record of the Year, Beyoncé still managed to walk away with two more Grammys on Sunday night, bringing her grand total to 22.

Lemonade, her groundbreaking 2016 album, was praised by critics and fans alike as a revolutionary work of black feminism outside of the awards show circuit. Even Adele, who bested her in the Album of the Year category with 25, honored the pop icon in her acceptance speech. Still, “Shining” proves that Bey is a shining example of resilience in the face of defeat.

The duo is quick to point out that, despite their success, they are not motivated by fame or fortune. Three of those reasons are their children: Beyoncé is expecting twins in addition to her 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.

Despite the fact that “Shining” makes numerous references to superficial success, the conclusion is that it means nothing in the long run. Beyoncé and Jay Z are self-assured artists who don’t need fame, fortune, or accolades to validate their work.

9. Love a Woman \sby Mary J. Blige ft Beyonce

Mary J. Blige - Love A Women (feat. Beyoncé)

This soulful midtempo track features Mary J. and Beyoncé duetting to express their desires for a romantic partner of the opposite sex. We hope Jay-Z has taken into account the importance his wife places on open lines of communication and romantic pursuits. Critics were impressed by both Beyoncé and Blige’s vocals and their chemistry on the duet.

10. Put it in a love song

Alicia Keys - Put It In A Love Song feat. Beyonce

In this dance-pop duet with Beyoncé, the superstars issue a challenge to their men, asking them to prove they aren’t all front by penning a love song for them.

To describe her work with Beyoncé, Keys said: “It was a lot of fun for all of us. The song is about a group of people coming together to support one another and it’s great that we can do that by celebrating each other’s professional successes. In this moment, this song was written specifically for us. Over time, we’ve grown to be close pals. \

We’ve both been in the industry for around the same amount of time and entered the business at the same time, both signing to Columbia Records when we were 14 years old. The energy and chemistry were so strong that it felt like a party in the studio.”

The music video for the song was shot on February 9, 2010, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by Keys and Knowles. The video was shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and features two singers dressed in Carnival-style costumes.

The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who had previously collaborated with Beyoncé but not Keys. On the video, Keys commented: “The experience of filming “Put It in a Love Song” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was incredible. It seems to me that the vivacity of the city mirrors the vitality of the tune. It’s vibrant, exciting, and full of sensuality. That was fantastic, by the way. People were heaving and pounding as they emerged.

Having been a part of it and sharing the experience with them, I found it to be thrilling. My relationship with B is fantastic. It’s incredible that we were able to create this magical chemistry in such a one-of-a-kind city. The pictures tell more than words ever could. So, you experienced the buzz of the open road. All in all, a fantastic experience.”

No matter how much people wanted to see the video, it was never released. The reasons why the clip was never released were detailed in an issue of Keys to Essence magazine.

She explained that while sometimes “creative things” just “click” and are “perfect,” other times things “almost click” but it’s better to just leave it. “Putting it simply, we had a great time making the video. Unfortunately, we had to give up on the plan because, for whatever reason, it was never able to come together successfully.”

11. Michelle Williams’s song “Say Yes”

Michelle Williams - Say Yes ft. Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland

Last on our list of best songs featuring beyonce is this uplifting spiritual anthem. Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland accompany her on the upbeat gospel track. It follows “Nuclear,” from their 2013 Love Songs romantic tunes compilation, and “You Changed,” from Rowland’s 2013 Talk a Good Game CD as the third song released by the Destiny’s Child trio since the trio went their separate ways in 2006. Solange, Bey’s younger sibling, also participates.

After Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé heard the song, they reconnected in an unofficial reunion of Destiny’s Child on a updated version of the classic Nigerian gospel song “When Jesus Says Yes.”

Harmony Samuels, who has worked with Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, and Chris Brown, among many others, combined the uplifting swing of West African gospel with a pulsating electronic dance music beat. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Williams said: “This song originated in Africa well over a century ago. No one seems to know the song’s author or the origin of its catchy chorus.”

There’s a huge dance party in the video, and Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland make appearances. On Good Morning America, Williams reminisced about her old times with Destiny’s Child by talking about how it felt to be back with her sisters. “Reuniting because being together makes us feel like we did when we were younger and we can’t help but laugh and talk about anything and everything. A wonderful experience all around.”

Williams continued by saying that she and the other two girls have committed to supporting each other’s individual projects. She went on to explain that the two of them had previously stated in an interview that they would support each other’s solo efforts in any way they could. After having them on songs from Beyoncé’s and Kelly’s albums, respectively, it is now my turn to have them on a song from my own album.

This song was performed live by Destiny’s Child on March 28, 2015, at the Stellar Gospel Music Awards.. The last time we saw the girls perform together was at Beyoncé’s halftime show at the 2013 Super Bowl.
