Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé began performing in local competitions at age 7, eventually forming the group Girl's Tyme in 1990 with help from her parents. Girl's Tyme became Destiny's Child in 1997.
During the hiatus of Destiny's Child in 2003, Beyoncé released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, which became one of the most successful albums of that year, and signaled her viability as a solo artist. The disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success: her sophomore solo album B'Day, released in 2006, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations. On January 31, 2010, she won 6 Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy awards won by a female artist in one night; she previously held the record of five awards with 5 other artists. Following a career hiatus, Beyoncé released her fourth studio album entitled "4" on June 24, 2011, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
2013 - 5th Album - "Beyoncé"
On December 12, 2013, Beyoncé unexpectedly released her fifth and self-titled album in the iTunes Store. Beyoncé called it a "visual album" as it includes 14 songs and 18 videos - with each track having a music video together with additional bonus videos. The album has a list of collaborators including Drake, Frank Ocean and her husband, Jay-Z, and daughter, Blue Ivy.

It became the best-rated album of 2022, named the best album of the year by publications such as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, which would later place the record at number 71 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. It then was nominated for Album of The Year at the 65 Annual Grammy Award Show and won Best Dance/Electronic Album.

The lyrics to Beyoncé's song "One Night Only" depict a situation where the singer is being pursued by someone who desires her love and affection. The singer acknowledges that the person wants her wholehearted commitment, but she explains that she can only offer a single night of companionship. Although the singer expresses her certainty in being able to love the person forever, the obstacle lies in the lack of time available to devote to a long-term relationship.
The repetitiveness of phrases like "One night only" emphasizes the limited duration of their interaction. It highlights the transient nature of their connection and the urgency in making the most of their time together. The line "Let's not pretend you care" hints at the singer's perception that the other person might not be truly invested in a mutual emotional attachment, further emphasizing the temporary nature of their encounter.
Overall, the lyrics capture the longing for a deeper connection balanced with the reality of limited time. The singer recognizes the potential for a meaningful relationship but acknowledges the constraints that prevent it from being more than a fleeting moment.

something I don't think people notice is how in beyonce's version it's "I've got one night" instead of "You've got one night"...
the small lyric difference (combined with the style) really says something...
Effie' s version is a Torch song about someone who is so desperate for love and validation she will take what she can get even if it's just one night with someone who wants commitment but won't return it.
Deena's is actually exactly the opposite, it's about someone who's pretty much got everything she wants in life, but won't commit, she's just in it for the fun...
she's literally the yang to Effie's yin.
