This 2011 track off 4 is Beyoncé's most traditional cut this decade, apparently inspired by her turn as Etta James in Cadillac Records (2008).
How many times does Beyoncé change the key in "Love On Top"? Four. But it seems like more than that, as if she is just elevating higher and higher, to infinity and beyond. This 2011 track off 4 is Beyoncé's most traditional cut this decade, apparently inspired by her turn as Etta James in Cadillac Records (2008). Most iconically, it was during her performance of "Love On Top" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in which we were provided with the most showstopping pregnancy announcement of all time, with Beyoncé confirming her first baby simply by unbuttoning her jacket and rubbing her belly. — E.B.
