Cuatro años han pasado desde que Beyoncé se ubicara en el top 10 del Hot 100 de Billboard. Era con el hit ‘Telephone’, junto a Lady Gaga. Ahora, la diva lo consigue con un tema propio, ‘Drunk in Love’, canción que interpreta en dueto con su esposo y el rapero estadounidense Jay-Z .

La melodía compuesta junto a Noel Fisher, André Eric Proctor, Rasool Díaz, Brian Soko, Timbaland, Jerome Harmon y Boots se desprende de su último disco que lleva su propio nombre y que se presentó a finales de 2013. Fue luego de una destacada presentación -de la pareja- en los Grammy como el tema se popularizó.

La producción se convierte en el décimo quinto sencillo que consigue pisar la parte alta del chart estadounidense, siendo la séptima en el ranking de cantantes femeninas que más canciones ha colado en el ranking, compartiendo posición con Connie Francis y Olivia Newton-John.

‘Drunk in Love’

I’ve been drinking, I’ve been drinking. I get filthy when that liquor gets into me
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking. Why can’t I keep my fingers off you, baby?. I want you, na na. Why can’t I keep my fingers off you, baby?
I want you, na na

Cigars on ice, cigars on ice
Feeling like an animal with these cameras all in my grill
Flashing lights, flashing lights. You got me faded, faded, faded. Baby, I want you, na na. Can’t keep your eyes off my fatty. Daddy, I want you, na na. Drunk in love, I want you

[Hook]
We walk up in the kitchen saying. “How in hell did this shit happen?”. Oh baby, drunk in love we be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club. Drunk in love
[Bridge]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

We be all night, and everything alright. No complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights. Boy, I’m drinking, walking in my l’assemblage. I’m grubbing on the rope, grubbing if you scared, call that ribbon. Boy, I’m drinking, get my brain right. I’m on the Cognac, gangster wife. Newer sheets, he’d swear that I like washed rags, he wet up. Boy, I’m drinking, I’m sinking on the mic ‘til my boy toys. Then I fill the tub up halfway then riding with my surfboard
Surfboard, surfboard. Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood. I’m swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body Benz
Serving all this, swerv, surfing all of this good, good

[Hook]
[Bridge]

Never tired, never tired. I been sippin, that’s the only thing keeping me on fire, me on fire. To me it’s feeling like all of my entire life I’ve been drinking
Boy, I’m Marilyn. I want your body right here, daddy I want you, right now. C-can’t keep ya eyes off my fatty. Daddy I want you
