Because He Lives

" Baby Boy " is a Middle Eastern and Arabic-influenced R&B-dancehall song recorded by American artist Beyoncé Knowles featuring vocals from Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist Sean Paul Henriques. It was written by Beyoncé, Scott Storch, Sean Paul, Robert Waller and Jay-Z for Beyoncé's debut solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003). The track was produced by Beyoncé and Storch, and was released as the album's second single in the third quarter of 2003. The lyrics speak of fantasies and its accompanying music video features sensual footages.

"Baby Boy" was commercially successful, charting the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks. The song surpassed the feat of its predecessor, "Crazy in Love", becoming Beyoncé's longest running solo number-one single, until the record was beaten by her B'Day single "Irreplaceable" in 2006. Internationally, it charted equally well, entering the top ten in most markets. The single was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association and the Recording Industry Association of America.

The song received positive reception from pop critics and the music industry. The British record company EMI was recognized at the 2005 ASCAP awards as Publisher of the Year for publishing "Baby Boy", along with other tracks by contemporary artist. The song always appeared in public performances by Beyoncé and was later honored as the Most Performed Songs in 2005.
