<p id=”par-3_31″>The video showcases her talent as a dancer and also how hard she was willing to push herself. Beyoncé said she had her one <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonces-mtv-pregnancy-announcement-was-almost-ruined-by-wardrobe-and-how-she-broke-the-internet-twice.html/”>video wardrobe malfunction</a> while filming this video.</p>
<p id=”par-4_29″>“In my ‘Crazy in Love’ video, I was dancing so hard that my whole dress completely fell off in front of all these men,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a1705/beyonce-interview/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Cosmopolitan</a> in 2006.</p>

<p id=”par-5_24″>Beyoncé worked with her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jay-z-said-gave-beyonce-street-credibility-working-1-song.html/”>future husband on “Crazy in Love.”</a> After writing the song, she realized she needed one more element to perfect it.</p>
<p id=”par-6_77″>“I knew the song wasn’t complete, because the horns were so old-school, and I thought if a rapper was on it people would give it more of a chance — because rappers can flow over old-school beats and people accept it,” she told <a href=”https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/2005/11/above-and-beyonce” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vanity Fair</a>. “So Jay came into the studio, and it could have been 10 minutes, it could have been 2 minutes — he listened to it and recorded this rap <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jay-z-admitted-lost-couple-albums-worth-great-material-writing-method-advise.html/”>without writing anything down</a>.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_7″>She said his addition really impressed her. </p>
<p id=”par-8_73″>“He just sits there and his mouth starts moving silently, and all of a sudden he does this rap,” she said. “I have seen him do this many times, but this was like three in the morning. He had to be exhausted, I was exhausted. I don’t know how he did this …. He rapped on the song and he added a lot to the energy of it. It really completed the song.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_36″>Though the song brought Beyoncé a great deal of success, she was ready to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-said-longer-wanted-hear-2-famous-songs.html/”>move away from it</a> in the years after its release. She wanted to show a new side of herself through her music.</p>
<p id=”par-10_37″>“I don’t want to hear about ‘Single Ladies’ or ‘Crazy In Love’. I don’t want to hear it,” she told <a href=”https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/10868/1/beyonce-the-simple-life” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Dazed Magazine</a> in 2011. “I believe that there are certain things that happen and they happen naturally.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_21″>At that point, she said she’d retired her “Sasha Fierce” persona that helped her get into character to perform these songs.</p>
<p id=”par-12_95″>“I killed off needing Sasha Fierce,” she said, adding, “I don’t need her anymore. I am Sasha Fierce. It’s interesting because now I’ve done it for so long it’s so easy for me to go into that performance mode. Literally, I go from being a country girl in the dressing room who’s laughing and being silly into, ‘Okay, it’s time to work!’ I don’t have to mentally prepare myself for it. Honestly, I’m much more interested in showing people the sensitive, the passionate, and the compassionate person that I am. More so than Sasha Fierce.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_13″>Still, she often played these songs on her recent tour for <em>Cowboy Carter</em>.</p>
