4:44

The title track of Jay-Z's 13th solo album, "4:44" is both a love letter to his wife Beyoncé (the rapper details how their relationship started) and an apology for his past womanizing. In an interview with iHeartRadio, Jay explained why the track is so important to the album. "I woke up, literally, at 4:44 in the morning, 4:44 a.m., to write this song," he said. "It's the title track because it's such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I've ever written."

During Beyoncé's 2016 Lemonade album, the songstress seemed on several songs to be calling out Jay Z for cheating on her. This cut represents his response and towards the end of the track, he details his infidelity and its potential effect on his children: And if my children knew, I don't even know what I would do If they ain't look at me the same I would prolly die with all the shame "You did what with who?" What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? "You risked that for Blue?"

The song title references, Beyoncé's longtime fascination with the number four. For example, the songstress titled her fourth album after the numeral and announced "Grown Woman", the first song to be released from her eponymous fifth album on 4/4/2013. While promoting her 4 album on Good Morning America Bey explained why the number is so significant to her and her husband. "My birthday is on the fourth," she said. "My mother's birthday is on the fourth. My husband's birthday is on the fourth. I got married on the fourth."
