Beyoncé - I Was Here

I Was Here by Beyoncé Song Info

"I Was Here" is a song by American singer Beyoncé Knowles, taken from her fourth studio album, 4 (2011). It was written by Diane Warren, while production was handled by Ryan Tedder, Brent Kutzle, and Kuk Harrell; Knowles is credited on the vocal production. "I Was Here" is a reflective ballad, in which Knowles vulnerably reviews her past, wanting to leave an impact on the world before her life comes to an end. The song's development was motivated by the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. "I Was Here" garnered both positive and negative reviews from music critics, most of whom criticized the song's inclusion on the track-listing of the album and expressed discomfort about Knowles worrying about her legacy and wanting to leave an impact on the world, given that she was still below thirty years of age when she recorded this "career song", as described by Warren. Critics, nevertheless, favored Knowles' vocal performance on the song, which is complemented by piano keys and heavy drum beats. Following the release of 4, "I Was Here" charted at number 131 on the UK Singles Chart, at number 74 on the Swiss Singles Chart, and at number 44 on the South Korea Gaon International Singles Chart in early July 2011. Later during the same month, the song was included on the soundtrack for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Final. "I Was Here" was also part of Knowles' set list for her 4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé, held in Roseland Ballroom, New York City in August 2011.

- Beautiful album Beyoncé :D

Although this album didn't...succeed the way it should have, it really shows a different side of Beyoncé. 4 is unlike any other album she's ever made in the sense that it's just beautiful. Only true Beyoncé fans will understand the beauty found in these 14 songs. Great job B!

This is such an amazing album. I wish Lay Up Under Me was on this version, but it's still so good!!

- Best

This is honestly my favorite album that Beyoncé has released. Being a new fan, I listened to all the albums and this one stands out.

- PURE TRASH

This had to be the worst Beyoncé album of all times. This was when she was experimenting with a new sound.

- One of her best!

I love 4 Beyoncé. Start over is my favorite song on the cd. But I also love I Miss You, I Was Here, 1 + 1 and Best Thing I Never Had. It is such a good cd. At the time when it came out I felt like her album cover was too raunchy so I found this cover online and used it for a couple years and then I saw this cover at Walmart and then on iTunes. Some tracks have been added it appears!

- trash

bad

- #AllLivesMatter

#BoycottBeyonce

This is the real Beyoncé

- QUEEN BEE IS AMAZING

- Pop

Garbage.

- Queen of All Time

All her albums new or old will always chart at the top just like her 👑

- Perfect

#21 album in iTunes in 2016. Amazing. My favorite album by Beyonce.

- Getting recognized

Finally this album is getting the recognition it deserves. It is the best album Beyoncé has ever published and one of the most audacious and creative of this decade. Most of its songs are already classics and each of them are detailed, well-produced genuine pieces of music. It is not possible to sum this album up with just one genre, because of its experimentation that blends a plethora of different styles in a bond which links old to new school. I hope the high value of this masterpiece will remain sculpted on the rock of time.

- Queen

Perfect mix of soul and pop.

- Gorgeous Vocals!

Her vocals are absolutely amazing. When it comes to singing, Beyonce's voice never disappoints. On this album, I love the song, "Love on Top".

- Amazing Artistry

The different sounds and styles she has to her songs is amazing. I absolutely loved this album and listen to it over and over again and always hear something fun and new each time. The horns in “Countdown” or the syncopated percussion in “Run the World”. Love it all.

- It's a miracle

This album cured my glaucoma. Praise God.

- Queen Bey

Love on top will FOREVER be the best song to get me in a good mood❤️😍
