Countdown Lyrics » Beyonce
[Intro]
Boy
[Chorus]
Oh, killin’ me softly
And I’m still fallin’
Still the one I need
I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone
Don’t ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me, you out of your mind
[Post-Chorus]
My baby is a
ten
We dressin’ to the
nine
He pick me up, we
eight
Make me feel so lucky,
seven
He kiss me in his
six
We be makin’ love in
five
Still the one I do this
four
I’m tryin’ to make us
three
From that
two
He still the
one
[Verse]
There’s ups and downs in this love
Got a lot to learn in this love
Through the good and the bad, still got love
Dedicated to the one I love, hey
Still love the way he talk, still love the way I sing
Still love the way he rock them black diamonds in that chain (Chain)
Still all up on each other, ain’t a damn thing change
My girls can’t tell me nothin’, I’m gone in the brain
I’m all up under him like it’s cold, winter time
All up in the kitchen in my heels, dinner time
Do whatever that it takes, he got a winner’s mind
Give it all to him, meet him at the finish line

About Beyonce’s Countdown from 4 (Deluxe Edition) (2011)
In this well-polished R&B song about her love for
Jay-Z
, Queen Bey talks about how they both manage to have a perfect marriage while maintaining their superstardom
(Beyoncé was six months pregnant while filming the video for this song)
. This catchy tune was called both the most experimental and one of the best tunes on her album
4
, with additional praise for the creative sampling from
Boyz II Men
’s “Uhh Ahh.”
Just Jared asked Beyoncé what Jay-Z thought of this song and she replied saying:
He liked it. I don’t think he was dissecting it, just thinking of what he could do to it as a rapper.

FAQs About Countdown
What did Beyoncé say about “Countdown”?
I wanted to do something refreshing and different, so I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together. Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny’s Child on tour. They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! I’m old.

What has the media said about this song?
In 2018,
NPR
ranked this as the #103 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
Beyoncé’s self-titled record arrived like a knockout punch, but the multimedia icon had been perfecting her swing for years. One part Bugatti, one part playground, 2011’s ‘Countdown’ serves as both stepping stone for Knowles-Carter’s career post-
Destiny’s Child
and blueprint for the preternaturally mature artist who emerged at the end of 2013. Frenetic genre-hopping is carried off by production her past work couldn’t touch. Her pageant-winner vocal poise makes room for the Dirty Coast flourishes she now revels in almost full-time. And her light lyrical touch on topics that would become central to her work (‘there’s ups and downs in this love…’) are downright poignant in hindsight. In the quantum leap between Beyoncé and
Beyoncé,
‘Countdown’ was a running start.
What is the music video about?
The song’s music video was directed by Adria Petty, who previously helmed the clip for “Sweet Dreams.” It pays homage to several movies including the 1957 film
Funny Face
, where we see Beyoncé made up to look like the movie star Audrey Hepburn. The video recreates various pop culture milestones.
Adria Petty said the following to MTV News:
I brought Beyoncé a number of references and we picked some out together. Most were German modern-dance references, believe it or not. But it really evolved. The references were then dispersed to her creative team (hair, makeup, wardrobe), and they interpreted them on the set in their own special way. Of course, one of the strongest wardrobe references was Audrey Hepburn in
Funny Face
when she does the beatnik dance scene. I think a lot grew from there.
