Halo Beyonce Official Music Video

"Halo" is a song by American R&B singer Beyoncé. It was composed by Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart and Knowles for her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce. In the United States, the song was released on January 20, 2009 as the album's fourth single.

The song "Halo", written by Ryan Tedder and Evan "Kidd" Bogart, was originally offered to British singer Leona Lewis, but Lewis did not have the time to record it in the time that Tedder wanted it released. Soon after he worked with Kelly Clarkson on her fourth studio album All I Ever Wanted and one of the songs they wrote together was "Already Gone". Clarkson was surprised with Tedder for using the same arrangement on two different songs, claiming that people would assume she was stealing it from Knowles.

"Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else ... We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I’d never heard of a song called 'Halo'. Beyoncé's album came out when my album was already being printed. No-one’s gonna be sittin' at home, thinking 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to.' No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, 'I don’t understand. Why would you do that?'"

Clarkson fought with her label not to release it in respect toward Beyoncé, but her label RCA went against her will and released it.

"In the end, they’re releasing it without my consent. It sucks, but it's one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It's kind of a shitty situation, but... you know, you learn."

Halo lyrics- Beyonce Knowles

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 a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standin' 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 lookin' 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
And I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'll never fall again
But this don't even feel like fallin'
Gravity ain't began to
Pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm lookin' 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 lookin' 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
