Love a Woman
"Love a Woman" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Mary J. Blige featuring Beyoncé Knowles from her tenth studio album ''My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)'' (2011). It was written by Mary J. Blige, Sean Garrett, Beyoncé Knowles and Menardini Timothee while production was handled by Garrett, Team S. Dot and BridgeTown. Originally written for Knowles' fourth studio album ''4'' (2011), the singer felt that it did not fit with the sound she had created for her album, and she thought that it would be better if she recorded it as a duet with Blige instead.
"Love a Woman" is a down-tempo R&B ballad with live-instrumentation in which Knowles and Blige are teaching men about how to love their female partners. It received positive reviews from music critics who mostly praised the chemistry between Knowles and Blige on the duet as well as their vocals. Following the release of ''My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)'', the song peaked at number eighty nine on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs based on digital sales.
==Background and development==
"Love a Woman" was written by Mary J. Blige, Sean Garrett, Beyoncé Knowles and Menardini Timothee while production was handled by Garrett. Team S. Dot served at the co-producer of the song while BridgeTown served as the additional producer for it. On November 9, 2011, a snippet of "Love a Woman" appeared online. It was officially premiered on November 17, prior to the release of the album. The song was initially recorded by Knowles for her fourth studio album ''4'' (2011), but she thought that it would be a better fit as a duet with Blige. Blige further revealed in an interview that the song was sent to her after Knowles thought that it didn't fit her album and it was sent through her A&R people. She further added, "When the song came, her voice was on it completely and it was just amazing and I wasn't sure that they wanted to give me this record because it was so amazing." Blige further spoke about how she started the collaboration with Knowles on the song:
"The song was so amazing I had to be sure, as an artist, that she really was trying to give it to me. I was like 'is she really trying to give me this song, because it's pretty amazing.' They were like 'yes, but she wants to stay on it with you.' And I was like, 'Wow! Beyoncé? Thanks!' And you know I love and respect her to death so I wouldn't pass that chance up."
Blige further revealed that the song would be released as a single but was delayed due to Knowles' pregnancy at that time adding that, "whenever she's ready, if she's ever ready, I'm ready and it'll be great."〔 During an interview with ''Rap-Up'' magazine, Garrett further spoke about the collaboration, saying, "I initially did the record for Beyoncé and then we just felt it would be an even bigger record with Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige... Both these women are two iconic female figures in the world, and what would be better than putting those two on a record? We felt it would be a really iconic move."
