"Me, Myself and I" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé. It was written by Knowles, Scott Storch and Robert Waller for her debut solo album ''Dangerously in Love'' (2003). Knowles decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song for the third single; the song was sent by Columbia Records to US radio on October 19, 2003. "Me, Myself and I" is an R&B song about dealing with a philandering boyfriend and learning from the consequences. "Me, Myself and I" was generally well received by music critics, who complimented the smooth and assertive vocals of Knowles and called it a 1980s throwback from ''Dangerously in Love''. The Grammy Award-nominated song earned Knowles, Storch and Waller an American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Award. "Me, Myself and I" peaked at number four on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, and became Knowles' fourth consecutive US top five single. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The single reached the top 20 in Australia, the UK and in some European countries. Directed by Johan Renck, the accompanying music video follows the plot of the song's theme and the events in the video are played in reverse. "Me, Myself and I" was part of Knowles' set list on the Verizon Ladies First Tour, the Dangerously in Love Tour, The Beyoncé Experience and the I Am... Tour. ==Background and release== After the release of her former group Destiny's Child's 2001 album ''Survivor'', Beyoncé worked on her debut solo album, ''Dangerously in Love''. She stated that it was more personal than her previous records because she only had to write for herself. She contacted various musical collaborators, including Storch and Waller.〔 The musical style of "Me, Myself and I" is different from the style of her previous singles; Knowles decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song for the next single. Following the release of the song, Knowles told Corey Moss of MTV News, "(Myself and I' ) is really powerful. It talks about women basically listening to their inner voice and knowing that they will never disappoint themselves." "Me, Myself and I" was the third single released from ''Dangerously in Love'', which followed "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". It was sent to United States Rhythmic contemporary〔(Rhythmic – Week Of: October 19, 2003 ) Radio and Records. October 19, 2003.
