Sasha Fierce">I Am... Sasha Fierce</a> (2008). Jean and Gad also handled its production alongside Beyoncé. Inspired by the difficult break-up of a romantic relationship, the song was initially recorded by Jean, whose record company rejected it. Beyoncé then recorded her own version. Jean was upset when she learned that Beyoncé was releasing it as a single, but eventually, they reached an agreement. <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> released "If I Were a Boy" to US radio on October 8, 2008, as a <a href="/wiki/A-side_and_B-side" title="A-side and B-side">double A-side single</a> alongside "<a href="/wiki/Single_Ladies_(Put_a_Ring_on_It)" title="Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)">Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)</a>" as the <a href="/wiki/Lead_single" title="Lead single">lead singles</a>.

The song's lyrics lament the misunderstandings between the genders and indict the male side of relationships. "If I Were a Boy" was well received by critics, who complimented Beyoncé's tormented and emotive vocal performance and called the song her best work to date. The single was a commercial success as it placed in the top ten on twenty-five different singles charts.<a href="#cite_note-pizza-2">[2]</a> It topped the charts in numerous countries, including Brazil, the Netherlands, Sweden, as well as the United Kingdom, where it is Beyoncé's best-selling single, though it only comes in third once streaming data is included.<a href="#cite_note-uk_units-3">[3]</a> "If I Were a Boy" peaked at number three on the US <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard Hot 100</a> chart and earned multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, and the US, as well as a diamond one in Brazil.

When the action starts, Beyoncé is seen working as a police officer. Her husband is a supportive spouse who makes her breakfast, spends time at work looking for a present for her and forgoes socializing with attractive coworkers so he can be available when his wife arrives home. However, Beyoncé is not thinking about him at all. Instead, she spends her free time with other officers, particularly her male partner, whom she seems enamored with. Her husband calls her, but she ignores the phone. Later, when her husband gives her earrings, she puts them on and later is dancing with her partner at a party. Her husband is upset when he sees them, and when he confronts her about this, she acts like he is making a big deal out of nothing. "When you act like that, I don't think you realize how it makes me look or feel", he tells her. Beyoncé then asks him in a condescending tone, "Why are you so jealous? It's not like I'm sleeping with the guy." Then the story reverses, and Beyoncé starts to cry. Her husband's situation is actually her experience—he is a police officer who takes his supportive wife for granted. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reception_and_accolades">Reception and accolades</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=If_I_Were_a_Boy&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Reception and accolades">edit</a>]</div> Beyoncé premiered the video, alongside the video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", on <a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Total_Request_Live" title="Total Request Live">Total Request Live</a> show on October 13, 2008.<a href="#cite_note-mtv1-25">[25]</a> It was included on Beyoncé's 2009 remix album with videography, <a href="/wiki/Above_and_Beyonc%C3%A9_%E2%80%93_Video_Collection_%26_Dance_Mixes" class="mw-redirect" title="Above and Beyoncé – Video Collection & Dance Mixes">Above and Beyoncé</a>.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> Jennifer Vineyard of MTV News described the video as a "meaningful one—and it comes with a twist that requires repeat viewing".<a href="#cite_note-mtv1-25">[25]</a> She noted that if the video did not exist, she would not have seen the <a href="/wiki/Tomboy" title="Tomboy">tomboy</a> side of Beyoncé.<a href="#cite_note-mtv1-25">[25]</a> A writer for <a href="/wiki/Rap-Up" title="Rap-Up">Rap-Up</a> commented, "Beyoncé delivers one of the year's best videos with the black and white clip."<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> Jennifer Cady of <a href="/wiki/E!_Online" class="mw-redirect" title="E!
