"'''Bootylicious'''" is a song recorded by American group [[Destiny's Child]] for their third studio album ''[[Survivor (Destiny's Child album)|Survivor]]'' (2001). It was written and produced by [[Rob Fusari]], [[Beyoncé]] and [[Falonte Moore]]. The song contains a prominent [[Sampling (music)|sample]] from [[Stevie Nicks]]' song "[[Edge of Seventeen]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x26m1b_stevie-nicks-edge-of-seventeen_music|title=Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen - Video Dailymotion|date=June 6, 2007|website=Dailymotion}}</ref> It was released as the second single from ''Survivor'' on May 22, 2001, by [[Columbia Records]].

"Bootylicious" was a commercial success, becoming the group's fourth and final US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] number-one single. It also reached the top five in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A [[Rockwilder]] remix of the song featured [[Missy Elliott|Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott]] and appeared on the soundtrack of the 2001 musical ''[[Carmen: A Hip Hopera]]'' and the group's remix album ''[[This Is the Remix (Destiny's Child album)|This Is the Remix]]'' (2002).<ref>{{cite web|last=Ruhlmann|first=William|title=MTV's Hip Hopera: Carmen – Original TV Soundtrack|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/mtvs-hip-hopera-carmen-mw0000006261|work=[[AllMusic]]|publisher=[[Rovi Corporation]]|access-date=May 1, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Music – This Is the Remix by Destiny's Child|url=https://music.apple.com/ie/album/this-is-the-remix/217365648|work=[[iTunes]]|date=December 21, 2000|publisher=[[Apple.com]]|access-date=May 1, 2013}}</ref>

Although the term "bootylicious" had already been used by rapper [[Snoop Dogg]] in [[Dr. Dre]]'s song "[[Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')]]" (1992), the popularity of "Bootylicious" caused the slang word to become widespread, being added to the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' in 2004 under the definition "(of a woman) sexually attractive".

== Writing and production ==
"Bootylicious" was written and produced by [[Beyoncé|Beyoncé Knowles]], [[Rob Fusari]] and [[Falonte Moore]], and was recorded at [[SugarHill Recording Studios]] in [[Houston]], and [[Sound on Sound Studios]] in New York City.<ref name="Nones"/> There are conflicting stories about the song's origins. According to Knowles, she was inspired to write the song on a flight to either London<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/archive/d/destiny01_2/index.jhtml#have |title=MTV Music - DESTIny's CHILD |website=[[MTV]] |access-date=April 30, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150723115535/http://www.mtv.com/bands/archive/d/destiny01_2/index.jhtml#have |archive-date=July 23, 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> or Japan as she was listening to the [[guitar riff]] of [[Stevie Nicks]]' song "[[Edge of Seventeen]]", which reminded her of a "voluptuous woman".<ref>{{cite video |people=[[Beyoncé Knowles]] |date=August 2, 2009 |title=[[I Am...

Unable to locate the song, he chose to sample "Edge of Seventeen" instead. He wanted to replay the guitar riff himself in the studio so as not to lose publishing royalties, but group manager [[Mathew Knowles]] (father of Beyoncé Knowles) would not let him do this.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/959293/producer-rob-fusari-dishes-on-lady-gaga-beyonce|title=Producer Rob Fusari Dishes on Lady Gaga, Beyoncé|last=Marks|first=Craig|date=February 24, 2010|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=February 26, 2012}}</ref>

==Music==
According to the sheet music published by [[EMI Music Publishing]] at Musicnotes.com, "Bootylicious" is set in [[common time]] with a medium funk [[tempo]] of 104 beats per minute. It is written in the [[key (music)|key]] of [[E minor]] (recorded in [[D-sharp minor|D{{sharp}} minor]]), and Destiny's Child's vocals span from G<sub>3</sub> to B<sub>5</sub>.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=MN0075647 |title=Destiny's Child – Bootylicious Sheet Music |date=July 20, 2009 |publisher=Musicnotes.com. [[EMI Music Publishing]] |access-date=March 29, 2011}}</ref> [[Kelly Rowland]] sings the majority of the [[lead vocals]] on the track, with her leading both verses, Knowles leading choruses, and [[Michelle Williams (singer)|Michelle Williams]] leading the bridge.

== Remixes ==
A [[hip-hop|hip hop]]-styled [[remix]] (the [[Rockwilder]] remix) was produced by Rockwilder, Knowles, and [[Missy Elliott]]. This version was issued to [[urban contemporary|urban]] markets, and had a [[hip-hop culture]]-based [[music video]] to accompany it, in which Beyoncé wears a belt that has the word "Bootylicious" misspelled as "Bootyliciuos", as pointed out by [[Carson Daly]] on an episode of ''[[Total Request Live]]''.

A combination of the [[R&B]] vocals from this song and the [[grunge rock]] music of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]'s "[[Smells Like Teen Spirit]]"<ref>{{YouTube|hrpB4VOUuc8|"Nirvana Vs Destiny's Child"}}</ref> is one of the best-known examples of the "bastard pop" or "[[Mashup (music)|mashup]]" genre, where elements from seemingly incompatible songs are mixed together. A later mashup used the music of [[Stevie Wonder]]'s "[[Superstition (song)|Superstition]]" with the "Bootylicious" vocals.<ref>{{YouTube|XSZ2hyjEAoM|"Destiny's Child vs Stevie Wonder – Bootystition"}}</ref>

== Music video ==
The [[music video]] for "Bootylicious", directed by [[Matthew Rolston]] and filmed from May 7–9, 2001, showed Destiny's Child performing dance steps from [[Michael Jackson]]'s famous "[[Billie Jean]]" performance from the special ''[[Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever]]''.<ref name="MkTV1">{{cite web|title=MTV Making The Video: Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" (Part One) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqSGLqLFZsg |work=[[Making the Video]] | date=July 13, 2011 |via=[[YouTube]]| access-date=June 14, 2023}}</ref><ref name="MkTV3">{{cite web|title=MTV Making The Video: Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" (Part Three) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD5Fp7rIna0 |work=[[Making the Video]] | date=July 13, 2011 |via=[[YouTube]]| access-date=June 14, 2023}}</ref> During the video, moves from several other Michael Jackson videos can be seen such as parts of the choreography from "[[Thriller (song)|Thriller]]", "[[Beat It]]", "[[Bad (Michael Jackson song)|Bad]]", and "[[The Way You Make Me Feel]]". Dance moves that were used by Jackson during live performances of "[[They Don't Care About Us]]" can be seen as well.

As the group is dancing, the members appear in several different costumes. These scenes are interloped with the group dancing in front of a dance troupe made of all boys. The dance sequence ends with a diamond-shaped stage where the group appears wearing pink crop-tops, while the all-male dance troupe appears shirtless, wearing Michael Jackson's signature one glove and sagging pants that showed their underwear with "Destiny" at the back. Stevie Nicks is featured playing the sampled riff on a guitar.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 7, 2001 |title=Stevie Nicks With Child |url=http://www.dotmusic.com/news/May2001/news19656.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030620174155/http://www.dotmusic.com/news/May2001/news19656.asp |archive-date=June 20, 2003 |access-date=October 31, 2024 |website=Dotmusic}}</ref> [[Solange Knowles]], Beyoncé's sister, also makes a brief cameo in the video.

The video for "Bootylicious" began airing on [[BET]], [[VH1]], and [[MTV]] on the week ending May 27, 2001, with the video premiering on the latter channel's ''[[Making the Video]]'' series.<ref name="MkTV3"/><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=June 9, 2001 |title=Video Monitor |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HBQEAAAAMBAJ |magazine=Billboard |page=85}}</ref> The version of the song featured in the music video is slightly different from the album version, removing the synth strings and DJ scratching and percussion fills in favour of a drier mix, with the bass guitar cut out part-way through the final choruses and a fade-out of the instrumental leaving only the vocals near the end. This version was never commercially released.

The music clip is featured on the DualDisc edition of the 2005 compilation album ''[[Number 1's (Destiny's Child album)|#1's]]'' and as an enhanced video on the UK and French editions of the single. The video for the Rockwilder remix featuring Missy Elliott is available on the "Urban Remixes" version of the UK CD single for "[[Emotion (Samantha Sang song)#Destiny's Child version|Emotion]]".<ref>{{cite AV media notes|title=Emotions (The Urban Remixes)|others=Destiny's Child|year=2001|type=UK CD single liner notes|publisher=Columbia Records|id=672111 5}}</ref>

The music video uses a slightly altered version of the song; the difference being the song's instrumental. A notable difference in the music video is that the song's instrumental fades out at the end of the song, resulting in the final chorus being sung, acapella. Whereas, on the album version, the song's instrumental is heard throughout the song and during the final chorus and ends just before Knowles sings her final line.

== Live performances ==
Destiny's Child opened the [[BET Awards 2001|inaugural BET Awards]] (2001) with a performance of "Bootylicious".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bet.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=217 |title=BET Networks PR Website – News Releases |publisher=Bet.mediaroom.com |date=June 22, 2001 |access-date=September 19, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001091824/http://bet.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=217 |archive-date=October 1, 2011 }}</ref> They also performed it on both [[Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration]] concerts, complete with their rendition of his dance moves. Before the video's premiere, the group had dedicated the video to Michael Jackson. According to Kelly Rowland, Jackson liked the song so much that when he saw them for the first time, he started to sing it and they were very surprised. On February 3, 2013, Beyoncé performed the song along with Rowland and Williams during the [[Super Bowl XLVII halftime show]]. They also performed Beyoncé's "[[Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/02/beyonce_halftime_show_super_bo.html|title=Beyonce halftime show at Super Bowl 2013: Plenty to prove|publisher=[[New Jersey On-Line|New Jersey On-Line LLC]].|date=February 3, 2013|access-date=February 3, 2013|first=Tris|last=McCall|author-link=Tris McCall}}</ref>

== Commercial performance ==
"Bootylicious" debuted at number 66 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] on June 9, 2001. Nine weeks later, the song reached number one, becoming the group's fourth and final number-one single in the United States. It remained on the chart for 19 additional weeks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/300824/destinys-child/chart|title=Destiny's Child - Chart history - Billboard|website=www.billboard.com|access-date=April 19, 2016|archive-date=December 13, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151213114222/http://www.billboard.com/artist/300824/destinys-child/chart|url-status=dead}}</ref> As of {{YEAR}}, it remains the last song by a girl group to top the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song also peaked at number five on the [[Hot 100 Airplay]] chart and number two on the [[Hot 100 Singles Sales]] chart, behind [[Mariah Carey]] and [[Cameo (band)|Cameo]]'s "[[Loverboy (Mariah Carey song)|Loverboy]]".

In the United Kingdom, "Bootylicious" debuted and peaked at number two on the [[UK Singles Chart]], behind the [[Atomic Kitten]]'s "[[Eternal Flame (song)|Eternal Flame]]". It sold over 169,000 copies and propelled ''[[Survivor (Destiny's Child album)|Survivor]]'' back to the top of the [[UK Albums Chart]]. Additionally, the song reached the top ten in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden.

== Legacy ==
"Bootylicious" created moderate controversy due to pushing the boundaries of female sexuality. Destiny's Child was claiming "[[Motion Picture Association film rating system|G-rated]] fun" and confidence in body image through the lyrics, yet the song's music video suggested much more with the group wearing heavy make-up, form-fitting clothes, performing sexually suggestive dancing, and the video featuring close-ups on several dancers' [[buttocks]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cpyu.org/Page_p.aspx?id=76738|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101116200806/http://cpyu.org/Page_p.aspx?id=76738|url-status=dead|title=The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding – Destiny's Child: Pop Music Pied Pipers|archive-date=November 16, 2010}}</ref> The song popularized the [[portmanteau]] term "bootylicious", a combination of the words "[[wikt:booty|booty]]" and "delicious", although the term had already been used by [[Snoop Dogg]] in the song "[[Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')]]" (aka "Dre Day" from [[Dr. Dre]]'s 1992 album ''[[The Chronic]]'') as a pejorative. "Bootylicious" is also mentioned by a character named Champ ([[Shaun Baker (actor)|Shaun Baker]]) in the 1993 "Homey, Don't Ya Know Me?" episode of ''[[A Different World]]''. The term was also used previously in the 1999 video game ''[[Duke Nukem: Time to Kill]]'' as the name of a strip club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_articulo.php?pic=PC&id=cw4d961eba91806&idj=&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=9 |title=Regreso al Pasado: Duke Nukem – Artículo en MERISTATION |publisher=Meristation.com |access-date=September 19, 2011 |archive-date=September 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929150337/http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_articulo.php?pic=PC&id=cw4d961eba91806&idj=&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=9 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The success of the song came after the rise in media visibility of voluptuous personalities such as [[Jennifer Lopez]]. There was a media perception that the appearance of these women corresponded to an appreciation of the supposedly neglected larger hips and thighs common in the figures of black and Latina women. The approving neologism "bootylicious" has entered the mainstream English language as part of the crossover of African-American popular culture, fashion, and sexual politics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA475536.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081012145611/http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA475536.html|url-status=dead|title=Library Journal|archive-date=October 12, 2008|website=www.schoollibraryjournal.com}}</ref> In September 2011, VH1 ranked "Bootylicious" at number 19 on its list "The 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Anderson|first=Kyle|url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/09/29/vh1-100-greatest-songs-of-2000s-list/|title=U2, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Foo Fighters fill out VH1's '100 Greatest Songs of the '00s'|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.]]|date=September 29, 2011|access-date=October 2, 2011}}</ref> Rowland has mentioned that "Bootylicious" is the most irritating Destiny's Child song to her since she has heard it too many times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/rowland%20cant%20stand%20bootylicious_1057096|title=ContactMusic.com 2008|website=contactmusic.com}}</ref>

== In popular culture ==
=== Cover versions ===
English [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Keane (band)|Keane]] performed a medley consisting of "Bootylicious" and [[Christina Aguilera]] and [[Redman (rapper)|Redman]]'s "[[Dirrty]]" on [[Jo Whiley]]'s [[Live Lounge]]. An audio recording is available on the 2007 compilation [[Radio 1's Live Lounge – Volume 2|''Radio 1's Live Lounge – Volume 2'']]. The cast of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] television show ''[[Glee (TV series)|Glee]]'' performed a cover version in the 2009 [[Glee season 1|first season]] episode "[[Hairography]]". The [[Green Bay Packers]] covered the song in the 2015 film ''[[Pitch Perfect 2]]''.

=== Use in commercials ===
"Bootylicious" was used in a commercial for the [[video game]] [[Candy Crush Jelly Saga|''Candy Crush Jelly Saga'']] in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |last=RetroPete |title=Candy Crush releases Jelly with a commercial full of roller skating & spandex |url=http://www.8-bitcentral.com/blog/2016/candyCrushSkaterGirl.html |access-date=March 19, 2024 |website=8-Bit Central}}</ref>

=== In other media ===
It appeared in "[[Grand Finale (RuPaul's Drag Race season 11)|Grand Finale]]", the 2019 [[RuPaul's Drag Race season 11|season 11]] finale of drag queen reality competition ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race]]'', where contestants [[Brooke Lynn Hytes]] and [[Silky Nutmeg Ganache]] had to lipsync to it in order to advance to the final round.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/rupaul-s-drag-race-closes-a-mixed-season-with-a-solid-1835142145|title=''RuPaul's Drag Race'' closes a mixed season with a solid, satisfying finale|publisher=[[The A.V. Club]]|date=May 31, 2019|access-date=June 4, 2020|last=Kulzick|first=Kate}}</ref> American singer [[Normani]] used the song in her performance on the reality competition show ''[[Lip Sync Battle]]'', which aired on February 1, 2018. Her set was reminiscent of the song's music video, and at some point, one of the back-up dancers "trips" in front of Normani, a callback to Michelle William's infamous fall during a performance of "[[Soldier (Destiny's Child song)|Soldier]]" by the group on ''[[106 & Park]]'' in 2004.

The song appeared in [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures|Disney]] and [[Pixar]]'s 2022 animated film ''[[Turning Red]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2022/artisans/news/destiny-child-bootylicious-pixar-turning-red-1235200053/|title = Why Destiny Child's 'Bootylicious' Was the Perfect Song for Pixar's 'Turning Red'|date = March 9, 2022}}</ref>
