Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Radio" is a song by American recording artist Beyoncé Knowles taken from her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008). The uptempo Electropop and dance-pop song was composed by Knowles, Rico Love, Dwayne Nesmith and Jim Jonsin. Composed in the key of D major and built essentially on bouncy beat, "Radio" also displays influences of the 1980s synthpop, Europop, techno and house. It is instrumentally complete with a Roland TR-808 drum, bass instruments, and synthesizers. The song's lyrics describe the love of Knowles in her childhood for the songs she used to listen on the radio as she grew into an adult.
"Radio" received positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who generally praised Knowles's departure from her usual R&B style. Some of them also complimented the believability as well as the originality of the song and chose it as the standout track of I Am.. Sasha Fierce. In September 2009, "Radio" was used to promote Dutch radio station Radio 538, and it subsequently charted for six weeks on the Dutch Top 40 chart, where it peaked at number 14. It also reached number five on its urban chart. "Radio" was part of Knowles' set list on her I Am... Tour (2009–10) and was included on the live album I Am... World Tour (2010).
