Quote1. "Crazy in Love," Beyonce feat. Jay-Z
2003 | COLUMBIA; Highest Chart Position: 1

?It has this go-go feel to it, this old-school feel,? Beyonc? said of her debut solo single. ?I wasn?t sure if people were going to get it.? In fact, the funk-fire horn blasts that opened ?Crazy in Love? heralded her arrival as the boldest superstar of the century, the diva who made everyone else?s splashiest gestures seem tiny. Producer Rich Harrison constructed the song?s blockbuster beat around a horn sample lifted from the Chi-Lites? 1970 song ?Are You My Woman? (Tell Me So),? but he kept it in the can until he found the right artist to record it. After warming to the beat, Beyonc? told Harrison to write a song around it, returning to the studio two hours later to knock out her vocals. ?She?s got such a strong voice, your job is just to make sure nothing gets distorted,? recalls engineer Jim Caruana. The decision to add a verse from Jay-Z, whom she?d begun dating, came at the last minute. ?I asked Jay to get on the song the night before I had to turn my album in,? Beyonc? said. ?Thank God he did. It still never gets old, no matter how many times I sing it.?

Quote19. "Dancing on My Own," Robyn

2010 | Konichiwa; Highest Chart Position: Did not chart

Robyn was more than a decade out from her last major U.S. hit when she wrote ?Dancing on My Own? with longtime collaborator Patrik Berger, but this midtempo stunner vaulted her out of industry limbo and into the history books as our favorite Swedish sensation since Abba. Chalk it up to those thudding-heart synth arpeggios and her expert twist on a classic pop story: Robyn sees her ex with someone new, and it very much sucks, but she?ll be damned if she lets it ruin her night. It?s the ultimate crying-in-the-club anthem for our time, and a foolproof template that countless other pop stars have since followed to their own emotional breakthroughs on the dance floor (see Taylor Swift?s 1989). ?This song, to me, is perfect,? Lorde wrote in a 2015 Tumblr post. ?It?s happy and sad, fiery and independent but vulnerable and small, joyous even when a heart is breaking.?
