Halo is a pop ballad recorded by Beyoncé and released in 2008 as a single from her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Written with Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart, it became one of her signature songs, topping charts worldwide and winning the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Its sweeping chorus made it a fixture of singing competitions, ceremonies and tribute videos, and short clips of the vocal have circulated online for years as shorthand for an emotional high point.
