A gravação da música em maio de 2008 ocorreu logo após seu casamento secreto com JAY-Z em abril do mesmo ano, e Beyoncé manteve tal segredo na sala de gravação a ponto de remover seu anel de noivado durante as sessões.
O icônico videoclipe, embora tenha sido o de produção mais rápida e barata de sua carreira, foi liberamente adaptado da coreografia de "Mexican Breakfast", uma rotina de 1969 criada por Bob Fosse para a The Ed Sullivan Show.
A canção conquistou três Grammy Awards na categoria de canção do ano, melhor canção R&B e melhor performance vocal feminina R&B durante a 52ª cerimônia do prêmio.
Em janeiro de 2009, a faixa liderou o topo da parada Hot 100 da Billboard juntamente com "If I Were a Boy", uma de suas músicas simultâneas, tornando Beyoncé a sétima artista feminina americana a ocupar dois dos cinco primeiros lugares do gráfico ao mesmo tempo.
O Clipe venceu o prêmio de Vídeo do Ano no MTV Video Music Awards de 2009, tornando-o o primeiro vídeo musical em preto e branco a receber essa honraria desde "The Boys of Summer" de Don Henley.
