Check On It

Check On It (Single)

"Check on It" is an R&B song written by Beyoncé Knowles, Kasseem Dean, Sean Garrett, Angela Beyincé, and Stayve Thomas for the soundtrack to the 2006 film The Pink Panther, in which Beyoncé co-stars. Although not included on its soundtrack album, the song is included on Destiny's Child's greatest hits album, #1's; it also appears on select non-U.S. versions of Knowles' second studio album, B’Day. It was produced by Knowles and Swizz Beatz. Knowles has stated on many occasions that she was surprised at how successful the single became because she felt that it was very simple and probably wouldn't catch on like some of her previous singles. Knowles said that the song started out as a joke, and that the title "Check on It" was jokingly used with her and her management before they decided to turn it into a song. Though the song had worldwide success, Knowles has stated she disliked the song. It is on her set list for her tour The Beyoncé Experience, but she only performs the last lines of the first verse a cappella and a set of the chorus. In the beginning of the song, Swizz Beatz says "Swizz... Beatz... DC Destiny's Child", even though the record only features Knowles singing lead.


The song was not originally intended for release as a single from #1's, but it was played by U.S. radio stations instead of the first single, "Stand Up for Love" (recorded by all three members of Destiny's Child), which became a commercial failure. Because of its heavy airplay, "Check on It" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 2005. The single reached number one on the Hot 100 in its twelfth week on the chart (replacing Nelly's "Grillz"), becoming Knowles's third number-one as a solo artist and Slim Thug's first. The single remained at number-one for five consecutive weeks, and it was certified four times platinum by the RIAA for net shipment of 800,000 paid downloads. "Check on It" achieved crossover success, peaking at number one on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Dance Club Play charts, and at number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Check on It" reached number one on the Pop 100, becoming Knowles's first entry on the chart. It was the eighth most played song of 2006 on the radio, being played 290,231 times.

It became Knowles' fifth top-twenty hit in Canada in late 2005, and in February 2006 the song climbed to number twenty on the Canadian BDS airplay chart for a second time. It debuted inside the UK top five and peaked at number three, selling 122,500 copies. On January 31, 2006 "Check on It" passed the 200 million audience impressions mark in the United States, according to Mediabase, becoming Knowles' first single to do so; her late 2006 single "Irreplaceable" also passed the 200 million audience impressions mark, making her one of two artists to have two singles pass the 200 million mark in a single year, the other being Mariah Carey ("We Belong Together" and "Shake It Off" in 2005). "Check on It" reached the top five in Norway and the Netherlands, the top ten in Europe, Switzerland, Austria and Brazil, and the top twenty in Germany and Sweden. The single peaked at number two on the United World Chart.
