Originally recorded for Destiny's Child's Survivor album, it was later re-arranged and re-recorded by Beyoncé for her solo debut, of which it became the title track.
I love this song, it's basically Beyoncé's show off vocal performance and she does indeed show off especially live.
It was never officially released as a single, but it made #57 on the Hot 100 and #17 on the R&B chart and it won Beyoncé a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

I've always loved it. I love the bridge, the beat against the harp (?), the melody, the way Bey just sings out. The mash-up with "Sweet Dreams" and "Sweet Love" from her 2009 Vegas show was awesome. As was that performance on the Grammys in 2004; I remember watching it back then, I was a kid basically and in awe of her... she looked like a dazzling goddess (though seeing her look now it's a little overdone lol), but anyway, I remember thinking that she was a superstar and was here to stay... the finale of that performance with the dove and everything was so cool, too. 😆

I didn't care for this song back in the days, but it has grown on me a lot. It's a great song.

This is up there with some of my favorite Beyoncé songs. I always felt it was very emotional. I could feel the pain in her vocals. Her live performances of it were always amazing.
