Lyrics:
Yeah B,
Talk your shit (partner let me upgrade you)
How you're gonna upgrade me
What's higher than number one
You know I used to beat that block
Now I be's the block (partner let me upgrade you)
I hear you be the block
But I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Notice you the type that like to keep them on a
Leash though
I'm known to walk alone
But I'm alone for a reason
Sending me a drink ain't appeasing
Believe me
Come harder this won't be easy
Don't doubt yourself trust me you need me
This ain't a shoulder with a chip or an ego
But what you think they all mad at me for
2024 someone ?
In the midst of their divorce rumors... and me thinking "i can't believe I even forgot this song... together they are perfection."
I just love her music still brought me through some tough times
I’m listening to Beyoncé Upgrade U early May 2024 2:28
I forgot about this song Because isn't there a remix, that's the one that I remember I don't remember this song or deja vu
2025 too 🤭😜
Producer: So Jay is running a little late Bey: No problem, I got it covered
Lol it’s funny because he actually filmed his scenes first and she watched to get his mannerisms down 😁
😂😂
Doesn’t every woman upgrade their man ....
I remember this video came out around the rumors that they broke up so that scene confirmed it but then! Lol I remember being so shocked and happy and thinking they were so cool for this Lolol
Crowned Rite! She did the Premiere on 106&Park had everybody mouths on the floor when he popped in the video out of nowhere That was Brilliant shut those Rumors down real quick!
This is the most powerful couple in the music industry and I’m very happy they’re a black couple at that and I’m experiencing this 😭
123 likes with no reply comment is crazy😂
130 now😂
When she raps Jay’s verse and then slides over and Jay appears…. Still till this day ❤
I have watched this video many times but this is the first time I’m noticing this stunt 😂 thanks loads❤ 2:49
Till this DAY!!!👊🏾🤦🏾♀️👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐🐐
Legendary 😊
I remember when she premiered both this and beautiful liar on 106 and park. It was rumors that they separated, then she pulled this stunt. . however this video was way ahead of its time. Forever my favorite song of all time!
Totally genius ❤
This song smells like expensive perfume
Mma Dlamini you are hilarious

I miss her. 🥰
I was surprised when I realized this is from 5-6 years ago. I swear Beyoncé's voice and appearance never ages.
+secretbeauty05 I swear you're so right she didn't age at all. This video isn't from 5 years ago but 10 freaking years ago. It was in 2006 from her album Bday, crazy right.

Upgrade U (ft. Jay-Z)
😂😂😂 love it
No lie !!
"Audemars Piguet watch, dimples in ya necktie Hermès briefcase, Cartier tie clips Silk-lined blazers, diamond creamed facials Vvs cuff-links, six-star pent suites" it will always be a iconic verse that exudes luxury and power!!!
The message in this song ❤ It just screams black excellence and legacy.
The water scene !!!! Beyonce is one of the world's most beautiful women. Case closed
Period
Absolutely.
Yea she should rock dark hair more often. She looks absolutely gorgeous.
It was so sexy!! She does this effortlessly, that’s why she said “ what ya think they all mad at me for” she knows she’s bad and I love it! The slay continues.. 😂
Nah! jlo beats her with it comes to beauty. Jlo is more known as most beautiful and sexiest than beyonce.
People overthink the hook... The song is about how a good womans presence elevates a man's life even if he's already successful. Jay asked cocky "how u gon upgrade me what's higher than #1" and everything she talked about was being there with him to get him to the bag.
Frfr wow
Jeremiah makes sense
Totally. Wait how are people misinterpreting that? It seems so obvious
Jeremiah EXACTLYYYY🙃🙌🏽
💯💯💯
I never realized until recently how hard this song is. Bey's lyrics on this are insanely top-notch & clever as hell!
Look at our girl go!! I'm so proud of her. She works so hard and never disappoints her fans!!! I'm sending her love and good vibes from here at home in Third Ward, Houston Texas!!
Was at her concert two weeks ago and was she was on point and didny disappoint.
Dallas >Houston
Houston > San Antonio > Austin > Dallas
Let's all be honest, that editing switch where it goes from Bey playing Jay to actual Jay is one of the dopest music video decisions ever carried out. You may not have realized it when this video came out, but after seeing that, you already knew deep down that these two would go on to be royalty.
I believe they ought to thank their video directors/managers and camera men for that.. In all likely hood it had very little to do with JayZ or Beyonce.
Fyralynn Not once, did I say it was Beyonce or Jay-Z's doing or decision, I'm actually positive that the decision came from the director, that's how the process of most videos work. I just mean that the way they were presented in this video kind of solidified them as the royal power couple they are now. It was nicely done, classy, and just a genuinely cool depiction of them.
They were already known as royalty before then.
Fyralynn No Jay wanted to see how Beyonce would perform as him so he made the changes to do that.
I'd rather see bey as j then him himself
i listen to this song everytime i went to a job interview for boosting confidence, i got both jobs
👏 Congrats on getting hired!! 😀

B'day was such a great era of her
How can someone be this beautiful... UGHHH slay me Queen Bey...
No matter how successful Jay Z was and would have been, having Beyonce as a wife upgrades him. That does not go to say that she is responsible for his success.
They helped each other. She wouldn't be THIS Beyonce without him. She said it herself.
She definitely had a harder swag after being with him.
Philip Oladipo jay z was established before we knew who Beyoncé was
@@mo2k638 I know
Jayz didn’t need her he still would be a billionaire he was already working his way there before he got with her

I miss this. Can we please bring glamour back? Videos like this and Say Somethin by Mariah Carey were really everything. I'm over the instagram girl with a snapback, track suit or crop top and excessive highlight. These new girls just aren't doing it right. We need the Beyoncé, Naomi, Mariah glamour back. I miss the stunts, everything is so basic now.
YES you speak the truth, couldn't agree more!
Say something is perfect
that's cause the girls today are replaceable. the real divas got class, glamour and talent for days! and real divas always stand out from the rest.

Hello
This clip should have 1 billion views! It’s one of Beyoncé’s best songs!
Hands down my favorite video by Beyonce! She's so beautiful here.
I remember how excited I was when she first came out with this video. And this was around the time that there were break up rumors of her Jay-z and when she was rapping his lyrics at first & he wasn't in the video I was like "Oh my gosh they really broke up!" Then she slid in front of the chair and he appeared. I screamed! lmao I was so happy. This song makes me feel like a BOSS!
SlowClass Kai lmao I did the same thing.
Your comment got me dying because its so true! Lmaoo
me too! ctfu
“I hear you be the block, but I’m the lights that keeps the streets on” the clap back by Bey.

Know what i am saying!
Upgrating! Hell yess!
You know what i am saying!
This came out in 2006 😂
Lol yup
And THIS is why the haters be mad. Outstanding BEAUTY! Outstanding VOICE! And most of all, she can DANCE! All that combined in one.. yeah, the talent is too much for some of ya'll to handle. Beyoncé is the BEST female artist of our generation. I know that makes some of you mad, but I'm sorry, your anger isn't going to stop the Queen from reigning.
Thudas22 she cant dance, ciara and janet our real dancers. beyonce has an ok voice but her dance moves are not hard..
C heart you can leave now and not diss the queen thank you very much, can u dance as well as beyonce?? i didn't think so, what about sing as well as she can? no? then don't diss her, simple
C heart *are
It doesn't matter. Beyonce is washed up. Her last album was horrible.
C heart sure.... sure just keep saying that to yourself.....

It actually came out 14 years ago... it was only released on KZhead 10 years ago

She is absolutely stunning, i can't help but stop what i'm doing and give this music video (any of her music videos, for that mattter) my full attention 100%! Probably the only woman i would swtich teams for..
My favourite song by Beyonce makes me think of my brother who sadly passed away early this year
For me personally, B-Day was her best Album. Hands down.
i remember listening to this album around the time it came out. beyonce was HUGE in this era i really miss it

This is probably my favorite Beyonce song. From the beginning she let him know she can take him higher than #1. “I am the light to keep the street on…” Fellas listen closely this is a “BAD” sista right here. “Picture your life elevating with me Make you my project celebrity I keep your name hot in them streets” She has done all of this for Jay.
I remember thinking this is was absolutely wonderful but only God knew how much better her catalog of music was going to become. Keep soaring, Queen Bey!!! ⭐️
