It impacted rhythmic and urban contemporary radio in the United States on October 4, 2022.

"Cuff It" charted in more than a dozen territories and received acclaim from critics. Almost two months after the release of Renaissance, the album track began to trend on social media and had a resurgence in popularity. "Cuff It" re-entered several charts around the world, with new peaks in Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Thereupon released as a single, it peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Beyoncé's second top-ten single from Renaissance and her 21st as a soloist.

"Cuff It" won the award for Best R&B Song at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

On February 3, 2023, Beyoncé released a "Wetter Remix" of the song, after DJ Esentrik unofficially mashed up the instrumental of 2009's "Wetter" by Twista with "Cuff It". The mashup went viral online and was then officially released by Beyoncé with new vocals and lyrics.

Background

Beyoncé told British Vogue that the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic changed her as a person, stating that she has "spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I've decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy." She released her seventh studio album, Renaissance, in July 2022 to critical acclaim. "Cuff It" appears as the fourth track on the album, and was written and produced by Beyoncé, Nova Wav, Morten Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq and The-Dream, while additional writing was handled by Nile Rodgers. The song contains an interpolation of "Ooo La La La", written by Teena Marie & Allen McGrier and performed by Teena Marie.

In a 2023 interview with Vulture, Raphael Saadiq revealed that the song was originally meant for his group Tony! Toni! Toné!, but he decided to send it to Beyoncé. Saadiq explained that she accepted the demo but kept it aside until The-Dream found it:

Live performance

Beyoncé first performed "Cuff It" in Stockholm, Sweden during the opening night of the Renaissance World Tour on May 10, 2023. It served as the opening song of the third, party-themed act of the concert titled "Motherboard." An image of a chrome robot handcuffed to the flat screen and lying across the dome appeared for the duration of the song.

This performance began with Beyoncé and her dancers inside the dome on the stairs alongside the band and background singers. Beyoncé sang a new intro to the song with the band punctuating the end of each line. The dome opened as she began the song's first verse, revealing her and the dancers' outfit changes. After the verse, Beyoncé addressed the audience and encouraged them to clap with her as she made her way to the main stage to begin the second verse. The music took a brief pause as she sat atop her dancers, Les Twins, singing "Can I sit on top of you?" The performance ended with the dancers and Beyoncé making their way to the secondary stage as she rapped the lyrics to the "Wetter" remix over the instrumental to "Energy," bridging the two songs.
