Song Description:
"Halo" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles. The song was composed by Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart and Knowles for her third studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). It was released on January 20, 2009, in the United States as the fourth single, while it was promoted internationally as the third single.
The single, originally written for Knowles, was rumored to have been later offered for Leona Lewis. Also, Kelly Clarkson, who worked with Tedder for her album All I Ever Wanted in 2008, claimed that Tedder used the same musical arrangement as that of "Halo" on her song "Already Gone", released in 2009. Lauded by contemporary pop critics, the song was later modified into a tribute to Michael Jackson following his death, and also as a tribute to the victims of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, which Knowles sang on the television broadcast Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief featuring Chris Martin from Coldplay on the piano.
The song topped the charts of Brazil, Norway and Slovakia and reached the top five in countries like Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Halo" won Best Song at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 52nd Grammy Awards, where it was also nominated for Record of the Year.
Lyrics:
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
