Can anyone think of any examples where an artist has sampled/interpolated one of their own songs?

Madonna samples "Vogue" in "Holy Water" on Rebel Heart.
Britney references "My loneliness ain't killin' me no more" (a reply to the line in "...Baby One More Time" on "Stronger"). And of course, "Gimme More" sampled in "Scream & Shout".

Nate Ruess has used Some Nights in several of his and fun's other songs.
-the very end of Why Am I The One, "when I hear a song..."
-at the beginning of Stars, "c'mon, c'mon, I come on!"
-the prechorus in AhHa, "it's for the best we didn't listen."
I can imagine people thing is a shtick that's gotten old but I like how parts of that song keep popping up.

Labelle's "Release Yourself" has a bit of "Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi" from "Lady Marmalade."

"Back To Basics" sampled/mentioned a lot of Christina's earlier work. F.U.S.S Lovin' Me For Me, Don't Walk Away Can't Hold Us Down all part of our history/Don't forget infatuation I'm a fighter feelin' unappreciatedI've moved on sang my song (Subtle reference to "Keep On Singin' My Song, which was co-written by Scott Storch, whom the song was directed towards) Thank You (Dedication To Fans Samples Genie 2.0 and Can't Hold Us Down Still Dirrty Obviously a nod to "Dirrty" and the video.  "Army Of Me" switches around the language a bit as a nod to "Fighter" Original: Makes me that much stronger/ makes me that much wiser Reworked: One of me is wiser/one of me is stronger/one of me's a fighter |

Brandy's "It's Not Worth It" ("Full Moon" album) samples Joe's background vocals (singing "And I love you baby") from "Angel in Disguise" ("Never Say Never" album).
Lil' Kim's "Whoa" features the line "Told you I'm the same bitch from the escalator", which references the "I'm the same bitch on the escalator" line in "(When Kim Say) Can You Hear Me Now?" (which itself is a reference to her "No Time" video).

Madonna has sampled herself a few times. e.g. "Hung Up" takes the Time Goes By/So slowly for those who wait/Those who run/seem to have all the fun from "Love Song" on Like a Prayer.

Shakira's Costume Makes the Clown makes references to Whenever, Wherever in it's opening guitar riff (a distorted version of the riff from WW) as well as the first line of the song (Told you I felt lucky with my humble breats/Well I don't)

Ciara's Super Turnt Up interpolates Promise.
The second verse in Mariah's Lullaby makes lyrical references to The Roof, Long Ago, Melt Away, and possibly Underneath the Stars.
Elle Varner's song Birthday, which features 50 Cent, sample's 50's In Da Club.

And of course, "Gimme More" sampled in "Scream & Shout". I believe she samples Vogue on Deeper and Deeper as well with "you gotta let your body go with flow" Madonna also samples Justify My Love in Best Night on Rebel Heart. |

3LW referenced the "say it again, say it again" pre-chorus from "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)" in both "Ocean" and "I Do (Wanna Get Close to You)".
Britney referenced several of her hits in "Inside Out". "Hit me one more time, it's so amazing... You're the only one who ever drove me crazy." And Iggy references "...Baby One More Time" in "Pretty Girls" as well.

Do producers count?
Timbaland produced Aaliyah's "One In A Million" and then sampled it in Tink's "Million."

The second verse in Mariah's Lullaby makes lyrical references to The Roof, Long Ago, Melt Away, and possibly Underneath the Stars. Not only that, but at the very end of the song there's a clear interpolation of "The Roof", when she sings: As we relive the splendor of you and I.. I'm gonna sing our sweet lullaby. |

Another one is Mary J. Blige's "MJB da MVP" which is full of references to her songs/interpolations, like in:
You remind me of a real love
(you dont have to worry)
All night long, i'm goin' down
reminisce on the love we have
you are everything, love without a limit
what chu' gonna do without
my life, my life, my life
