"Baby Boy" is a song by American singer Beyoncé featuring Jamaican dancehall rapper Sean Paul from Beyoncé's debut solo studio album, Dangerously in Love (2003), and Paul's second album, Dutty Rock (2002). Both artists co-wrote the song with Robert Waller, Jay-Z, and Scott Storch, who produced it with Beyoncé. Containing a lyrical interpolation of "No Fear" by hip hop group O.G.C, "Baby Boy" is an R&B and dancehall song with Caribbean and Asian influences; its lyrics detail a woman's fantasies.
The song was released as the second single from the singer's debut studio album Dangerously in Love on August 3, 2003, through Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment. "Baby Boy" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks and was Beyoncé's longest-running number-one single until 2007, when it was surpassed by "Irreplaceable". It reached the top ten in many countries and was certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), and platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also reached the top 10 in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
