"Baby Boy" is a song by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé, featuring singer Sean Paul. It was written by Beyoncé, Sean Paul, Scott Storch, Robert Waller, and Jay-Z for Beyoncé's debut solo studio album ''Dangerously in Love'' (2003). It was also on the Grammy Award-winning album Dutty Rock which was re-released in 2003. Containing a lyrical interpolation of "No Fear" by hip hop group O.G.C, "Baby Boy" is an R&B and dancehall song with reggae and Arabic music influences; its lyrics detail a woman's fantasies. Columbia Records released "Baby Boy" as the second single from ''Dangerously in Love'' to United States radios on August 3, 2003. It was well received by music critics, who complimented the Indian, Middle Eastern music and dancehall styles in the song, as well as Beyoncé's collaboration with Paul. "Baby Boy" topped the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for nine consecutive weeks, and was Beyoncé's longest-running solo number-one single until 2007. It reached the top ten in many countries, and was certified platinum in Australia and the US. The song's music video was directed by Jake Nava and mostly shows Beyoncé dancing in various locations. "Baby Boy" has remained a staple of Beyoncé's concert set list. The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) recognized it as one of the most performed songs of 2005. During the same year, US singer-songwriter Jennifer Armour filed a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming that Beyoncé had used the primary musical hook from her song "Got a Little Bit of Love for You". The suit was dismissed. ==Background and writing== In 2002, Beyoncé went to Miami, Florida, in the United States, to work with American record producer Scott Storch for her debut solo album, ''Dangerously in Love''.〔 She and Storch wrote "Baby Boy", with contributions from American songwriter Robert Waller and Beyoncé's then-boyfriend, hip hop artist Jay-Z. The song also 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". Once the track was supposedly done, Beyoncé had the idea that it would be "perfect" if Jamaican reggae artist Sean Paul contributed a vocal track.〔 Beyoncé contacted Paul about a possible collaboration for "Baby Boy". Sean Paul agreed, and flew in from Jamaica to join the recording sessions of the song.〔 He contributed a toast verse, and they finished recording "Baby Boy" in March 2003, during the later stages of the album's recording.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baby Boy (Beyoncé song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
