'''''B'Day''''' is the second studio album by American singer [[Beyoncé]]. It was released on September 4th, 2006, by [[Columbia Records]], [[Music World Entertainment]] and [[Sony Urban Music]].{{efn|In numerous countries, ''B'Day'' was released on September 4, 2006 to coincide with Beyoncé's 25th birthday.}}

Originally set to be released in 2004, ''B'Day'' was planned as a follow-up to Beyoncé's solo debut ''[[Dangerously in Love]]'' (2003); however, it was delayed to accommodate the recording of [[Destiny's Child]]'s final studio album ''[[Destiny Fulfilled]]'' (2004) and Beyoncé's starring role in the 2006 film ''[[Dreamgirls (film)|Dreamgirls]]''. While on vacation after filming ''Dreamgirls'', Beyoncé began contacting various producers and rented [[Sony Music Studios]], completing the album within two weeks. Most of the lyrical content of the album was inspired by Beyoncé's role in the film, with its musical style ranging from 1970s–1980s [[funk]] influences and [[ballad]]ry to [[urban contemporary]] elements such as [[hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]]. Live [[instrumentation (music)|instrumentation]] was employed in recording most of the tracks as part of Beyoncé's vision of creating a record using live instruments.

Upon its release, ''B'Day'' received generally favorable reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]], who directed most of the acclaim towards its sonic quality and Beyoncé's vocal performance. A commercial success, the album debuted atop the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], selling over 541,000 copies in its first week. Among numerous additional accolades, it won [[Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album|Best Contemporary R&B Album]] at the [[49th Annual Grammy Awards]] (2007). ''[[B'Day Anthology Video Album]]'', which featured 13 [[music video]]s to accompany the album's tracks, was released alongside the album's ''Deluxe Edition'' [[reissue]] in April 2007. ''B'Day'' has been certified [[RIAA certification|quintuple platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA) and, as of 2013, has sold over eight million copies worldwide.

''B'Day'' produced six singles. "[[Déjà Vu (Beyoncé song)|Déjà Vu]]" peaked at number four on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], while "[[Ring the Alarm]]" became Beyoncé's highest-debuting single at the time but broke her string of top-ten singles after peaking at number 11. "[[Irreplaceable]]" became her fourth ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-one, while "[[Beautiful Liar]]" peaked at number three; both singles achieved widespread international success. "[[Get Me Bodied]]" was released exclusively in the United States, while "[[Green Light (Beyoncé song)|Green Light]]" was released internationally; neither replicated the success of their predecessors. To further promote ''B'Day'', Beyoncé embarked on her second solo concert tour [[The Beyoncé Experience]] (2007); a live album titled ''[[The Beyoncé Experience Live]]'' was also released.

== Background and development ==
Between March 2002 and March 2003, Beyoncé had productive studio sessions while recording her debut solo studio album ''[[Dangerously in Love]]'', recording up to 45 songs.<ref name="Patel">{{Cite news |last=Patel |first=Joseph |title=Beyonce Puts Off Second Solo LP To Reunite Destiny's Child |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1484202/20040107/Beyonc%C3%A9_beyonce.jhtml |publisher=[[MTV News]] |date=January 7, 2004 |access-date=January 5, 2008<!--DASHBot--> |archive-date=May 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505071632/http://www.mtv.com/news/1484202/beyonce-puts-off-second-solo-lp-to-reunite-destinys-child/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After the release of ''Dangerously in Love'' in June 2003, Beyoncé had planned to produce a follow-up album using several of the leftover tracks.<ref name="Patel" /> However, on January 7,&nbsp;2004, a spokesperson for her record label [[Columbia Records]] announced that Beyoncé had put her plans on hold in order to concentrate on the recording of ''[[Destiny Fulfilled]]'', the final studio album by [[Destiny's Child]], and to sing "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" at the [[Super Bowl XXXVIII]] in Houston, Texas, which was a childhood dream of hers.<ref name="Patel" /> Furthermore, she starred as Xania in the 2006 comedy-mystery film ''[[The Pink Panther (2006 film)|The Pink Panther]]'', which was filmed in 2004.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.sony.com/en_us/SCA/company-news/press-releases/sony-music-entertainment/2004/columbia-music-video-set-to-release-new-beyonce-dvdcd-live-at-wembley.html |title=Columbia Music Video Set to Release New Beyonce DVD/CD: Live at Wembley |publisher=[[Sony Music Entertainment]] |date=April 23, 2004 |access-date=December 19, 2022 |archive-date=December 19, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219183837/https://www.sony.com/en_us/SCA/company-news/press-releases/sony-music-entertainment/2004/columbia-music-video-set-to-release-new-beyonce-dvdcd-live-at-wembley.html |url-status=live }}</ref> She also spent the following two years promoting ''Destiny Fulfilled'' and Destiny's Child's first greatest hits album ''[[Number 1's (Destiny's Child album)|#1's]]'' (2005), embarking on their final world tour [[Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It]]; the group would disband in 2006.

Beyoncé originally recorded "[[Check on It]]" for ''The Pink Panther'' soundtrack; although its soundtrack inclusion was cancelled, it was released as the second single from ''#1's'' in December 2005 and became Beyoncé's third solo US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] number-one single, later appearing as a bonus track on the international editions of ''B'Day''. In late 2005, Beyoncé decided to postpone the recording of her second studio album because she had landed the lead role in ''[[Dreamgirls (film)|Dreamgirls]]'', a film adaptation of the [[Tony Award]]-winning [[Dreamgirls|Broadway musical of the same name]] (1981).<ref name="Tecson">{{Cite news |last=Tecson |first=Brandee J. |title=Beyonce Slimming Down And 'Completely Becoming Deena' |url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1523138/20060203/story.jhtml |publisher=MTV News |date=January 2, 2006 |access-date=January 5, 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080120141003/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1523138/20060203/story.jhtml| archive-date= January 20, 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref> As she wanted to focus on one project at a time, Beyoncé decided to wait until the film was completed before returning to the recording studio.<ref name="Reid">{{Cite news|last=Reid |first=Shaheem |title=Be All You Can, B. |url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/b/beyonce/news_feature_081406/index2.jhtml |publisher=MTV News |access-date=January 5, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080103122416/http://www.mtv.com/bands/b/beyonce/news_feature_081406/index2.jhtml |archive-date=January 3, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Beyoncé later told ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'': "I'm not going to write for the album until I finish doing the movie."<ref name="Hope">{{Cite magazine |last=Hope |first=Clover |title=Beyoncé To Celebrate 'B'Day' In September |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/58285/beyonce-to-celebrate-bday-in-september |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=May 30, 2004 |access-date=January 11, 2008 |archive-date=September 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140921182523/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/58285/beyonce-to-celebrate-bday-in-september |url-status=live }}</ref>

While having a month-long vacation after filming ''Dreamgirls'', Beyoncé went to the studio to start working on ''B'Day''.

<blockquote>
[Beyoncé] had multiple producers in Sony Studios. She booked out the whole studio and she had the biggest and best producers in there. She would have us in one room, we would start collaborating with one producer, then she would go and start something else with another producer. We would bounce around to the different rooms and work with the different producers. It was definitely a factory type of process.<ref name="Reid" />

== Music and lyrics ==
Many of the themes and musical styles of ''B'Day'' were inspired by Beyoncé's role in ''[[Dreamgirls (film)|Dreamgirls]]''.<ref name="Encore" /> The plot of the film revolves around "The Dreams", a fictional 1960s group of three female singers who attempt success in the mainstream music industry with the help of their manager Curtis Taylor, Jr. (portrayed by [[Jamie Foxx]]). Beyoncé portrays Deena Jones, the lead singer of the group and the wife of Taylor, and is emotionally abused by him. Because of her role, Beyoncé was inspired to produce an album with an overriding theme of [[feminism]] and [[female empowerment]].<ref name="Reid" /> On the hidden track "Encore for the Fans", Beyoncé said: "Because I was so inspired by Deena, I wrote songs that were saying all the things I wish she would have said in the film."<ref name="Encore">{{cite AV media|author=Beyoncé|date=2006|title=B'Day|type=CD|chapter=Encore for the Fans|publisher=[[Columbia Records]], [[Music World Entertainment]], [[Sony Urban Music]]}}</ref> ''B'Day'' was influenced by a variety of American genres,<ref>{{Cite news |title=The Weekend Fix: Celebrity Birthdays, the latest news, The 'American Gangster' Movie Minute and more. |url=http://www.mtv.ca/news/article.jhtml?id=4967 |work=[[MTV News (Canada)|MTV News Canada]] |date=November 2, 2007 |access-date=January 29, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217064019/http://www.mtv.ca/news/article.jhtml?id=4967 |archive-date=February 17, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and, like ''[[Dangerously in Love]]'' (2003), incorporated [[urban contemporary]] elements such as [[contemporary R&B]] and [[hip hop music|hip hop]].

[[File:Beyonce Freakum Dress Live (2).jpg|thumb|right|Beyoncé performing "[[Freakum Dress]]" during [[The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour]] in 2013]]

In a mixed review, [[Jon Pareles]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' found the album "tense, high-strung and obsessive", and said that it was neither "ingratiating or seductive".<ref name="Pareles" /> Richard Cromelin of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' observed that Beyoncé "heads into a new, more challenging terrain", but "some of the experiments don't click".<ref name="Cromelin">{{cite news|last=Cromelin|first=Richard|date=September 3, 2006|url=https://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/03/entertainment/ca-beyoncealbum3|title=A little gift for herself|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=March 12, 2013|archive-date=December 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121218212454/http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/03/entertainment/ca-beyoncealbum3|url-status=live}}</ref> Although he found the album "solid", Mike Joseph of [[PopMatters]] said that "aside from its relatively short running time, it sounds suspiciously under produced".<ref name=autogenerated3>{{cite magazine |last=Joseph |first=Mike |url=https://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/beyonce-b-day |title=Beyonce: B-Day |magazine=PopMatters |access-date=November 11, 2009 |archive-date=August 2, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090802224022/http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/beyonce-b-day |url-status=live }}</ref> Brian Hiatt of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' averred that "while the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks feel harmonically and melodically undercooked, with hooks that don't live up to 'Crazy in Love' or the best Destiny's Child hits".<ref name="Hiatt" /> Priya Elan of ''[[NME]]'' cited only "Freakum Dress" and "Ring the Alarm" as highlights and criticized that "too many tracks sound like updated versions of former glories", with no song on-par with "Crazy in Love".<ref name="Elan" />

== Controversies ==
[[File:Rihanna Fenty 2018.png|thumb|left|"[[Ring the Alarm]]" was falsely rumored to be written about the alleged affair between [[Rihanna]] (pictured) and [[Jay-Z]].]]
''B'Day'' was a subject of various controversies. The [[music video]] for its lead single "[[Déjà Vu (Beyoncé song)|Déjà Vu]]" caused controversy due to its sexually suggestive content. A news article published by ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' reported that a particular scene in the video is suggestive of [[oral sex]].<ref name="skanky" /> Natalie Y. Moore of ''[[In These Times (publication)|In These Times]]'' echoed the latter's commentary, writing that the video showcases Beyoncé "strutting her sexuality", and that in Jay-Z's scenes it "looks as if any minute now she'll give him [[fellatio]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/2902/beyoncs_bootyful_bay/|title=Beyoncé's Bootyful B'Day|last=Moore|first=Natalie Y.|date=November 17, 2006|work=[[In These Times (publication)|In These Times]]|publisher=Institute for Public Affairs|access-date=February 24, 2011|archive-date=May 7, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110507055642/http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/2902/beyoncs_bootyful_bay/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The video later appeared on [[Yahoo!

The [[cover artwork]] for the single "Ring the Alarm" fueled controversy after Beyoncé used [[alligators]] during the photo shoot. Beyoncé revealed that using the alligators and taping their mouths shut was her idea. [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] (PETA), an animal rights organization which had previously confronted her after she had used furs for her fashion line's clothing design, contacted a [[biologist]] who later wrote a letter to her, stating: "As a specialist in reptile biology and welfare, I'm concerned about your posing with a terrified baby alligator for your new album cover. Humans and alligators are not natural bedfellows, and the two should not mix at events such as photo shoots. In my view, doing so is arguably abusive to an animal."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/14485290/ns/today-today_entertainment/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120923133226/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/14485290/ns/today-today_entertainment/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 23, 2012 |title=Paris steaming about Blue comments |first=Jeannette |last=Walls |publisher=[[msnbc.com]].

Controversy also arose over the writing credits on "Irreplaceable". [[Ne-Yo]], who co-wrote the song, told [[MTV]]: "Apparently Beyoncé was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on she said, 'I wrote this for all my ladies' and then the song came on&nbsp;...&nbsp;The song is a co-write.

== Impact and legacy ==

According to an editor of web publication ''[[The Boombox]]'' in an article published on September 4, 2016, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the release of ''B'Day'', the album was a "monumental moment for music fans worldwide and would elevate Beyoncé from princess-in-waiting to a full-fledged queen in the musical landscape". The editor also called the album Beyoncé's "most liberating body of work and its impact still echoes ten years later".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://theboombox.com/beyonces-bday-an-album-of-evolution-and-liberation/|title=Beyonce's 'B'Day': an Album of Evolution and Liberation|author=Preezy|date=September 4, 2016|work=[[The Boombox]]|access-date=March 30, 2018|archive-date=March 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330143656/http://theboombox.com/beyonces-bday-an-album-of-evolution-and-liberation/|url-status=live}}</ref> In an article published by [[Revolt (TV network)|Revolt]] on the same day, ''B'Day'' was called Beyoncé's "first REAL [[visual album]]", as she would later release two "visual albums" ''[[Beyoncé (album)|Beyoncé]]'' (2013) and ''[[Lemonade (Beyoncé album)|Lemonade]]'' (2016), and as almost every song from ''B'Day'' had an accompanying music video, which was "something we hadn't seen before".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://revolt.tv/stories/2016/09/04/beyonce-bday-album-playlist-070001174f|title=Never Forget: "B'Day" was Beyoncé's first REAL visual album|date=September 4, 2016|publisher=[[Revolt (TV network)|Revolt]]|access-date=March 30, 2018|archive-date=March 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330143612/https://revolt.tv/stories/2016/09/04/beyonce-bday-album-playlist-070001174f|url-status=live}}</ref> The same day, website ''EST. 1997'' published an article about ''B'Day'' as well, and wrote that the album's singles became "essential parts" of [[pop culture]], also writing that "[[Get Me Bodied]]" is "now cemented as one of those songs that gets played by a DJ to get the crowd dancing at a wedding".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://est1997.com/music/happy-10th-bday-celebrating-beyonces-sophomore-album/|title=Happy 10th B'Day: Celebrating Beyoncé's sophomore album|author=Vincent|date=September 4, 2016|website=EST. 1997|access-date=March 30, 2018}}{{dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
