XO

The most pop-infused, glowing track on Beyoncé's self-titled fifth studio album, “XO” is easily the most radio ready single out of the record. Dedicated to Jay and her fans, the track describes the reliability of their love for her and how much she appreciates it. Accompanied by a colorful, vivid visual directed by Terry Richardson that features Beyoncé and friends letting it all out at Coney Island, “XO” is certainly a pop gem in the making – lyrically beautiful, musically engaging, and presentation-wise shimmering. The song was written by The-Dream, Beyoncé and Ryan Tedder. It peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100.
