Harrison wrote "Freakum dress to demonstrate how a sassy sartorial item that can help recharge to a relationship",〔 with Beyoncé and Makeba Riddick also contributing〔 In an interview with ''USA Today'', Beyoncé talked about the content "Freakum Dress", stating that an outfit which reminds of the best moments in a couple's life, is a necessity for every woman's wardrobe.〔

Beyoncé told Coniff that "Freakum Dress" was one of her favorite songs ever.〔
