The substantial airplay and later retail sales of "Crazy in Love" facilitated it to dominate the chart, subsequently spending eight straight weeks atop the Hot 100, making it Beyoncé's first number-one single in her solo career. According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Crazy in Love" was the most downloaded song in the United States for four consecutive weeks in July 2003. It also became a success internationally reaching the top of the charts in Ireland and the United Kingdom."Baby Boy" was released as the second single in August 2003. It was well received by critics, who declared it a "high-profile collaboration" that "bridges the gap between the genres of R&B and dancehall." It ultimately reached the top of the Hot 100. It reached the chart's top spot eight weeks after its debut, and stayed there for nine consecutive weeks. It peaked in the top two in the United Kingdom.

"Me, Myself and I" was released as the album's third single in October 2003.

It reached the top ten in Canada and the United States. "Naughty Girl" was the fourth single from the album, released in March 2004. The song was lauded by critics, who cited its sensual vibe and writing: "Beyoncé borrowed a portion of Donna Summer's naughty classic "Love to Love You Baby" to create this celebration of sensual naughtiness."

Atomic Kitten - Feels So Good (2002)

      Feels So Good is the second studio album by girl group Atomic Kitten and the first full original album featuring Jenny Frost. The style of the album is comparable with the first album and consists mainly of pop ballads, happy songs and one cover version. After releasing a cover version of "Eternal Flame" on the previous album, Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles was asked to write a track for the album called "Love Doesn't Have to Hurt". The girls teamed up with Rob Davis for the songwriting and production of several songs and as a result, Kylie Minogue with whom he frequently collaborated, donated the song "Feels So Good" to the album. Out of gratitude and because they felt it was a great title, the group decided to name the album after that song. As with debut album Right Now, OMD frontman and Atomic Kitten founder Andy McCluskey made multiple songwriting contributions.
