During the recording ofDestiny's Child's third studio albumSurvivor (2001), the group announced that each member would produce solo albums. Recording sessions forDangerously in Love took place from March 2002 to March 2003 at various recording studios, during the group's hiatus. As theexecutive producer of the album, Beyoncé took a wider role in its production, co-writing a majority of the songs, choosing which ones to produce and sharing ideas on mixing and mastering. Although she remained discreet about her interpretation of the album's songs, their underlying meanings were attributed by media outlets as an allusion to her intimate relationship with rapper, Jay-Z.
Dangerously in Love produced four singles. "Crazy in Love" spent eight consecutive weeks atop the USBillboard Hot 100, reaching the top ten almost everywhere it charted and winning twoGrammy Awards. "Baby Boy" replicated the international commercial success of "Crazy in Love" while outlasting it atop theBillboard Hot 100 by one week. "Me, Myself and I" peaked at number four on theBillboard Hot 100 while attaining lower peaks than its predecessors internationally. "Naughty Girl" peaked at number three on theBillboard Hot 100 and within the top ten in several additional countries. The final single was a cover ofDonny Hathaway andRoberta Flack's "The Closer I Get to You", sung by Beyoncé andLuther Vandross. Beyoncé promoted the album via numerous live performances and two concert tours—Dangerously in Love Tour (2003) andVerizon Ladies First Tour (2004), the latter of which was co-headlined withAlicia Keys and Elliott, while the former produced the live albumLive at Wembley (2004).
Beyoncé launched her career as the lead singer in theR&B girl groupDestiny's Child in the late 1990s. According to Corey Moss ofMTV News, "fans [were] eager to see" how Beyoncé, after years with the group, performs solo.[5] While recording their third albumSurvivor in late 2000, Beyoncé announced the group would be put on hiatus in order for the members to produce solo albums in the coming years, which they hoped would boost interest in Destiny's Child.[6] The idea of individual releases emanated from the group's manager and Beyoncé's fatherMathew Knowles.[7] With different musical styles for each member to produce, the albums were not intended to compete on the charts. Destiny's Child's management strategically planned to stagger the release of each group member's album to maximize sales.[8]
Michelle Williams was the first to release a debut solo album, titledHeart to Yours, in April 2002.[8] Meanwhile, Beyoncé had her film debut in the comedy filmAustin Powers in Goldmember, and recorded her debut single "Work It Out", which was featured on the film's soundtrack.[8]Kelly Rowland collaborated with American rapperNelly on the song "Dilemma" (2002) as a featured artist; it became a USBillboard Hot 100 number-one single, leading the label to advance the release date of her debut solo albumSimply Deep to October. Beyoncé additionally starred inThe Fighting Temptations (2003) and recorded another solo single. In August 2002, she collaborated with her now-husbandJay-Z as a featured vocalist on his song "'03 Bonnie & Clyde". Peaking at number four on theBillboard Hot 100, the song earned Beyoncé credibility as a solo artist and paved the way for the release ofDangerously in Love.[8][9]
Before Beyoncé began recording forDangerously in Love, she selected the producers with whom she would collaborate. For two days, she held meetings with prospective producers from theWest Coast across theEast Coast, and had interviews with them.[10] Beyoncé went to Miami to begin sessions with record producerScott Storch, her first collaborator,[11] and lived in a hotel in the following months.[12] As she wanted to concentrate on the album, Beyoncé took her time to avoid pressure build-up, significantly different from the hasty productions of Destiny's Child's albums.[12] Beyoncé felt that recording an album without her groupmates was "liberating and therapeutic", coming into the studio and freely expressing her ideas with her collaborators.[13] The dependency she developed with Destiny's Child, however, meant it was harder "to be on [her] own creatively".[13] As she wanted to grow as an artist, Beyoncé contacted other artists with a view to forming a collaborative partnership. When the collective finished writing several songs, she printed copies of each and sent them to prospective guest artists. She talked to them by phone for possible collaboration, eventually gaining their approval. Besides Jay-Z, Beyoncé was able to work withJamaican artistSean Paul and American rapperMissy Elliott, among others. In contrast, some artists sent copies of songs to Beyoncé, which were eventually produced. Beyoncé also worked with Elliott andTimbaland on a track titled "Wrapped Around Me", but it ultimately failed to appear on the album.[14]
Survivor included a track titled "Dangerously in Love", which was deemed too sophisticated compared to other tracks on the album, and Destiny's Child decided not to release it as a single. After recording several tracks forDangerously in Love, Beyoncé decided to re-record and add the track, retitling it "Dangerously in Love 2", after realizing that it fit the overriding theme of her album.[11] As she did onSurvivor, Beyoncé took a wider role in the production ofDangerously in Love, co-writing a majority of the songs, choosing which ones to produce and sharing ideas on themixing andmastering of tracks.[13] Although Beyoncé did not createbeats, she came up withmelodies and ideas she shared with the producers. Since the album's release date was postponed soColumbia Records could capitalize on the success ofKelly Rowland's feature onNelly's "Dilemma", Beyoncé had been offered the chance to further enhance the record.[15] Although she was disappointed with the decision, Beyoncé realized that "everything happens for a reason",[16] agreeing to return to the recording studio to work with other songwriters. This allowed her to record more songs, including the album's lead single "Crazy in Love". In late 2002, Beyoncé paused working onDangerously in Love in favor of a holiday tour with Destiny's Child.[14] With a few weeks left for recording in March 2003, Beyoncé was still collaborating with other guests on the album, including Sean Paul andP. Diddy.[8] The latter contributed on "Summertime", which ultimately did not make the album's final cut. However, it was later sent to radio stations and received favorable response.[17] Consequently, Beyoncé planned to release a follow-up album comprising leftover tracks fromDangerously in Love,[18] as the creative output of its sessions left several tracks ready for another album pressing.[8][19][m] With 43 songs completed,[12] Beyoncé is credited as a co-writer and a co-producer,[15] as well as the album's executive producer alongside her father and then-managerMathew Knowles.
Beyoncé's father and then-managerMathew Knowles saidDangerously in Love showcased her musical roots.[20] While Williams and Rowland explored ongospel andalternative pop styles, respectively, Beyoncé focused on recordingR&B songs.[21] The album's tracks vary, ranging from mid-tempo and club-oriented tracks on the first half, toballads on the second half.[13][22] Beyoncé commented: "My album is a good balance of ... ballads and ... mid-tempos with just ridin'-in-your-car feels, to a lot of ... up-tempo club songs, to really sexy songs, to songs that make you feel emotional. It's a nice mixture of different types of tracks."[23] Although it contains high-energy tracks such as "Crazy in Love" and "Naughty Girl", the album's focal mode, however, is slow and moody.[12] Beyoncé said she had mainly written ballads for the album.[13] She added that she wanted to be understood as an artist and showcase her range, and by doing so, she blended various genres and musical influences;[13] consequently, the album incorporates R&B,hip hop,soul,reggae andArabic music influences.[24] Its hip hop influences came from Jay-Z,Outkast, andLil' Kim, while the reggae influences came fromSean Paul.[13] Additionally,Scott Storch's personal study ofArabic music gave the album aMiddle Eastern vibe.[25] Beyoncé and the producers also used a wide array ofinstrumentations.[24]
Lyrically, love was the theme Beyoncé had incorporated forDangerously in Love the most. Surrounding the release of the album, there were persistent rumors of her relationship with Jay-Z, which would later be proven true. Though "most the material is vague enough to be about any relationship", the album consists multiple tracks suggesting affirmation of their relationship.[15] On "Signs", Beyoncé sings about being in love with aSagittarius, Jay-Z'szodiac sign.[15] Beyoncé said the album was lyrically similar to Destiny's Child's albums. However, since she had to write only for herself, Beyoncé had the chance to compose personally deeper songs than previous records with the group.[13] With a theme based upon different stages of a romantic relationship, the album contains tracks speaking of romance and honesty. In addition, Beyoncé admitted some address sex.[12] The personal content of the album, however, was not generally attributed to Beyoncé's own experiences—although some songs were—instead, the theme kept recurring in her mind. Beyoncé later explained: "I wanted to have an album that everyone could relate to and would listen to as long as I'm alive and even after... Love is something that never goes out of style. It's something everybody experiences, and if they are not in love, people usually want to feel that..."[5] While some songs merely focus on the "beauty of love", the album also explores another side of love, with songs that "celebrate breakup" and songs that narrate a woman's desire to have a degree of control in a relationship.[5] The album'shidden track "Daddy" is a tribute to Mathew Knowles, being an account of Beyoncé wanting her future husband and son to possess qualities similar to her father's.[15] Originally, Beyoncé did not intend to include the track on the album, having thought its lyrics would make her appear immature. However, considering it one of the songs that reflected her life at that transitional moment, she relegated "Daddy" as the closing track.[26]
Dangerously in Love was titled after atrack of the same title fromDestiny's Child's third studio albumSurvivor (2001), which Beyoncé re-recorded for the album. The song itself is lyrically about being romantically obsessed,[27] as indicated in thechorus: "I am in love with you / You set me free / I can't do this thing called life without you here with me".[28] When "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" was released as a single in October 2002, critics and the public had speculated that Beyoncé andJay-Z were having a mutual affair.[29] Despite widespread rumors, they remained silent about their relationship.[15] According to critics, the album's title sounded "more intriguing" with Beyoncé singing personal songs.[5] Though love was the theme Beyoncé had incorporated in the album, "most of the material is vague enough to be about any relationship"; some tracks, however, alluded to the accuracy of the rumors.[15] In response to the rumors allegedly echoed in the album's title, Beyoncé stated: "People can come to whatever conclusion they like... That's the beauty of music... I'm a singer, I'll talk about writing songs all you want. But when it comes to certain personal things any normal person wouldn't tell people they don't know, I just feel like I don't have to [talk about it]."[15]
The album cover forDangerously in Love was photographed byMarkus Klinko. Beyoncé asked for a diamond-themed portrait, inspired by Klinko's 2000 campaign for Diamond.com showingLaetitia Casta lying on diamond-studded spider web.[30] Beyoncé's mother and stylist,Tina Knowles, brought a diamond top for the shoot.[31] Tina had brought skirts to pair it with, but Beyoncé felt they would look too "red carpet" with the top, according to Klinko. Instead, he lent Beyoncé hisDolce & Gabbana jeans for the shoot.[32] The photograph was edited inpost-production to conceal Beyoncé's breasts.[33] Klinko said: "That famous pose she struck, with her arms out, she just did that. I didn't tell her to do that ... I just captured it."[34] He felt the image "projected who Beyoncé was about to become ... Within a couple of years she had become that iconic, undeniable superstar. The photoshoot created a road map to where she was headed."[33] The diamond top was displayed in the 2020Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibition dedicated to Beyoncé.[35]
Beyoncé said she had trouble convincing executives atColumbia Records to releaseDangerously in Love. She recounted that it was almost not released: "In 2003, I had my first solo album. But when I played it through for my record label, they told me I didn't have one hit on my album. I guess they were kinda right, I had five—'Dangerously in Love', 'Naughty Girl', 'Me, Myself and I', 'Baby Boy' and 'Crazy in Love'."[36] SinceKelly Rowland's "Dilemma" was concurrently charting atop the USBillboard Hot 100, Beyoncé's management released "Work It Out", one of the songs on the soundtrack toAustin Powers in Goldmember, instead of a single fromDangerously in Love to preclude it from possibly competing with "Dilemma".[37]Dangerously in Love was consequently pushed back from its original October 2002 release date to December,[37] and then to May 2003.[38] Beyoncé recorded a cover version of50 Cent's "In Da Club", which served its way tomixtapes before the original release date. The song failed to dominate as a "dancefloor favorite";Mathew Knowles, however, confirmed that it was just a "buzz cut" and was not included on the album.[39] Nonetheless, it earned enough airplay to chart on the USHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[40] While Beyoncé was completing the album, several of its tracks hadleaked online. In an effort to prevent more tracks from the album being spread illegally, as well as being a victim ofbootlegging,[20] Columbia Records, with high commercial expectations from the album,[12] pulled the release ofDangerously in Love to June 24, two weeks ahead of the planned July 8 release.[41]
Buyers who pre-orderedDangerously in Love viaSony Music's online store received links where they could download a song titled "I Can't Take No More" (written by Beyoncé,Mario Winans andMike Jones and produced by Winans); the offer lasted until the album's release.[42] On June 14, Beyoncé premiered songs from the album during her first solo concert and thepay-per-view television special titledFord Presents Beyoncé Knowles, Friends & Family, Live From Ford's 100th Anniversary Celebration in Dearborn, Michigan.[20] By the night of the album's release, Beyoncé's concert was broadcast in over 20 theaters across the United States.[42] Rowland,Michelle Williams,Tyrese and Beyoncé's younger sisterSolange also performed during the show. Beyoncé also promoted the album by performing on television shows such asSaturday Night Live,Late Show with David Letterman,Today,The Early Show, andThe View.[23] She further promoted it with herDangerously in Love Tour in November 2003, performing in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands. Her concert atWembley Arena in London on November 10, was filmed for her live albumLive at Wembley, released on April 26, 2004. Additionally, Beyoncé co-headlined theVerizon Ladies First Tour withAlicia Keys andMissy Elliott across the US from March to April.
In April 2003,Columbia Records was choosing thelead single fromDangerously in Love between two songs. Sent to clubs, the song that would receive better reception would be selected as the lead single.[39] Finally, "Crazy in Love" was released as the lead single on May 14, 2003. It was lauded by critics who described it as "deliriously catchy".[43] The single topped the USBillboard Hot 100, based onheavy rotation alone.[44] The same week the song reached number one,Dangerously in Love topped theBillboard 200 as well. The substantial airplay and later retail sales of "Crazy in Love" facilitated it to dominate the chart,[45] subsequently spending eight straight weeks atop theBillboard Hot 100,[46] making it Beyoncé's first number-one single in her solo career. According toNielsen SoundScan, "Crazy in Love" was the most downloaded song in the United States for four consecutive weeks in July 2003.[46] The digital single was certifiedsextuple platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[47] The song also became a success internationally, reaching the top of the charts in Croatia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.[48][49] At the46th Annual Grammy Awards (2004), the song wonBest R&B Song andBest Rap/Sung Collaboration.[50][51] ItsJake Nava-directed accompanyingmusic video "celebrates the evolution of a woman. It is about a girl who is at the point of a relationship. She realizes that she is in love, she is doing stuff she would not normally do but she does not care. It does not matter she is just crazy in love."[52] Critically acclaimed, the video wonBest Female Video,Best R&B Video andBest Choreography in a Video at the2003 MTV Video Music Awards.[53]
"Baby Boy" was released as the second single fromDangerously in Love on August 3, 2003. It was well received by critics, who declared it a "high-profile collaboration"[54] which "bridges the gap between the genres of R&B anddancehall."[55] It ultimately peaked atop the USBillboard Hot 100 eight weeks after its debut, and stayed there for nine consecutive weeks, surpassing the eight-week run atop the chart of "Crazy in Love".[56][57][58] The digital single was certified platinum by the RIAA.[47] Internationally, the song peaked at number two on theUK Singles Chart, reaching the top ten in 15 additional countries.[59] Its accompanying music video, Beyoncé's second consecutive to be directed by Nava, features Beyoncé performing the song infused with heavy choreography at a flooded party and on a Miami beach, among other sceneries.[60]
"Me, Myself and I" was released as the third single fromDangerously in Love on October 19, 2003. It received generally positive critical response, directed towards its production and Beyoncé's vocal performance.[61] It peaked at number four on the USBillboard Hot 100, and reached the top ten in Canada.[62][63] The digital single was certified platinum by the RIAA.[47] However, the song failed to replicate its predecessors' international commercial success, reaching the top 20 in Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. ItsJohan Renck-directed accompanying music video shows events of Beyoncé dealing with an adulterous boyfriend in reverse.[64] Critically acclaimed, the video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the2004 MTV Video Music Awards.[65]
"Naughty Girl" was released as the fourth and final single fromDangerously in Love on March 14, 2004.[66] The song was lauded by critics, who noted that "Beyoncé borrowed a portion ofDonna Summer's naughty classic "Love to Love You Baby" to create this celebration of sensual naughtiness."[67] It peaked at number three on the USBillboard Hot 100, continuing Beyoncé's string of top-five singles on the chart.[68] The digital single was certified platinum by the RIAA.[47] Internationally, the song became a top-ten hit in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.[69] Despite "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl" not peaking atop theBillboard Hot 100, they still achieved high commercial success and helpedDangerously in Love reach amulti-platinum status.[70] The accompanying music video for "Naughty Girl" was directed by Nava and features Beyoncé seductively dancing and flirting withUsher.[71] TheStudio 54-styled video was inspired by the dancing ofCyd Charisse andFred Astaire in the 1953 musical comedy filmThe Band Wagon.[71] Critically acclaimed, it won Best Female Video at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.[65]
Dangerously in Love received generally mixed reviews from music critics.[85] AtMetacritic, which assigns anormalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received anaverage score of 63, based on 17 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[76]Anthony DeCurtis ofRolling Stone viewed that it presents Beyoncé in two styles, one "far more flattering" than the other, and found the ballad-oriented songs on the album least flattering, commenting that Beyoncé has "plenty of time" to develop the style maturely that would "[make] sense for her".[81]Entertainment Weekly's Neil Drumming commented that the album validates Beyoncé's "taste in innovation". He also viewed that Beyoncé's collaboration with various record producers explores new directions in contemporary music, doing more reinventing than revisiting. Like DeCurtis' review, however, Drumming pointed out that "most of the disc's missteps" are in its latter part.[78]
Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani wrote that "[Beyoncé] is allowed more room to experiment vocally as a solo artist, exploring softer registers and lathering on the coquettish persona that was only hinted at on Destiny's Child tracks like 'Bootylicious.'".[86] Steve Jones ofUSA Today stated, "Beyoncé succeeds by showing greater depth as a songwriter and broader range as a singer".[83]Blender's Ben Ratliff complimented Beyoncé's performance and stated, "She's playing the cool-hunter but covering the bases with seraphic arrangements of multiple voices. Her reach is remarkable".[77]Mark Anthony Neal ofPopMatters called it an "artistic leap" and wrote that it "finds Ms. B in the midst of a fully flowering womanhood and doing the best singing of her career".[54]Uncut called its ballads "self-pitying/self-mythologising",[87] whileQ stated: "She has good songs, but no great songs".[80]Los Angeles Times writer Natalie Nichols expressed that it "demonstrates vocal finesse [...] But, especially on the ballads, [Beyoncé] often drags things out with diva acrobatics".[27]
In a mixed review,Vibe's Jason King saidDangerously in Love occasionally "sounds desperate to reach every demographic".[84]Kelefa Sanneh, writing forThe New York Times, felt that the album missed the harmonies ofDestiny's Child records and that Beyoncé was more effective "when she's got a posse behind her".[22] Rob Fitzpatrick ofNME called it "a cruel glimpse of a talent that occasionally blazes but is frustratingly inconsistent".[79]The Guardian'sAdam Sweeting wrote that "the desperate urge to cover every musical base from dancefloor to soul-ballad means that there is barely a track here with any distinctive identity or even a tune".[55] In his consumer guide forThe Village Voice,Robert Christgau cited "Yes" and "Baby Boy" as the album's highlights and quipped that the artist was "Dangerously in Love ... with her daddy, the bonus cut reveals—as if we didn't know."[88] He gave the album a one-star honorable mention,[89] indicating "a worthy effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well like."[90] In a retrospective review,AllMusic editorStephen Thomas Erlewine commented that "the first half is good enough to makeDangerously in Love one of the best mainstream urban R&B records released in 2003, and makes a strong case that Beyoncé might be better off fulfilling this destiny instead of reuniting with Destiny".[43]
In the United States,Dangerously in Love debuted atop theBillboard 200 chart dated July 12, 2003, with first-week sales of 317,000 copies according toNielsen SoundScan.[106] Although its first-week sales failed to match those ofSurvivor (2001), which sold 663,000 copies, Beyoncé registered the highest single-week sales among Destiny's Child members' solo albums:Kelly Rowland'sSimply Deep sold 77,000 copies in its first week, whileMichelle Williams'Heart to Yours sold 17,000 copies in its strongest week.[106] Beyoncé became the first female artist and the fifth artist ever to simultaneously top both the singles chart—with "Crazy in Love—and albums charts in the United States and the United Kingdom, followingthe Beatles,Simon & Garfunkel,Rod Stewart andMen at Work.[107] In its second week, the album registered a 42-percent sales decrease to 183,000 copies, descending to number two behindAshanti'sChapter II.[108] It remained behindChapter II at number two in its third week, selling 132,000 copies.[109] The album has been certifiedsextuple platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[110] It remains Beyoncé's best-selling album in the country to date,[111] with cumulative sales of over five million copies as of December 2015.[112][113] In Canada, the album debuted atop theCanadian Albums Chart[114] and has since been certified triple platinum byMusic Canada.[115]
The album cover forDangerously in Love was added to theNational Portrait Gallery, with the writing "CD in Stores June 24".[130]
With the release ofDangerously in Love and the combined commercial success of its singles, Beyoncé had established herself as a viable solo artist. Rebecca Louie of theNew York Daily News wrote that the success ofDangerously in Love brought Beyoncé into a "sultry solo star" who "blossomed from a girly group", referring toDestiny's Child.[9] The album also facilitated her to become one of the most marketable artists in the industry.[21] She appeared on the cover of numerous magazines, guested television shows for promotions, and signed lucrative commercial deals.[16] In 2003, she signed a contract with the conglomerate beverage manufacturerPepsiCo, and appeared on several television commercials for its products within the next ten years.[13] The album's success also incited the public to infer that it signalled the disbandment of Destiny's Child, as singerJustin Timberlake "could not go back to'N Sync after tasting solo success".[8] However, Beyoncé said that their side projects were only "a brief diversion in the juggernaut that has become Destiny's Child".[16]
As time did not permit, Beyoncé's solo aspirations–which included a follow-up album toDangerously in Love composed of its unreleased tracks–were put on hiatus for her to concentrate on herSuper Bowl XXXVIII performance. She was slated to sing the US national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner" there, and was busy recording of Destiny's Child's fifth studio albumDestiny Fulfilled (2004).[8][19]Destiny Fulfilled would also become their final album, as the group ultimately disbanded in 2006. Following the disbandment, Beyoncé recorded her second solo studio albumB'Day (2006). The album became her second to debut atop the USBillboard 200, with first-week sales of 541,000 units, which exceeded those ofDangerously in Love.[131] Its "handsome debut" was noted by Keith Caulfield ofBillboard as having been generated "by goodwill earned from the performance of [Beyoncé's] smash first albumDangerously in Love."[132]
