In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), whose themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, produced the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious. In 2001, they announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers. The trio reunited three years later for the release of their fifth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004), which spawned the international hits "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil' Wayne)". Since the group's official disbandment in 2006, Knowles, Rowland and Williams have reunited several times, including at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and 2018 Coachella festival.
Destiny's Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time, the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s, placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008 and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all time. The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.

Last time I seen 'ya, it's been a long time
Stop smilin' at me get that look off your face
Please don't even front stop being so fake
I know you do not like me yeah you made it very clear
You're always talkin 'bout me from what I hear
Always turn me down when you thought that you could
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good.
Wasn't it you that said
I thought I was all that and you
Said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't make it through
Wasn't it you that said
That I didn't look too good
That I wouldn't do too good
I'd never make it out the hood
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good
(So good, so good, so good)
I know you hate it, but I'm
(So good, so good, so good)
I'm doin' so so so so, so good
(So good, so good, so good)
It's hard to face it but I'm
(So good, so good, so good)
This is for them haters who said we wouldn't make it
Now we're doin' platinum and now you can't take it
But all the people round us that have been negative
Look at us now, see how we live
I stayed down with my people, all the ones that keep it real
Didn't get caught up and how'd it make you feel
All the things I'm doin' that you thought I never could
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good
Wasn't it you that said
Thought I was all that and you
Said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't make it through
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't do too good
Look at me now ain't that good?
Now I've made it out the hood
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good
(So good, so good, so good)
I know you hate it, but I'm
(So good, so good, so good)
I'm doin' so so so so, so good
(So good, so good, so good)
It's hard to face it but I'm
(So good, so good, so good)
So good
I'm doin', so so so so so
I'm doin', so so so so so
I'm doin', so so so so so, good good good good good, good
I'm doin', so so so so so
I'm doin', so so so so so
I'm doin', so so so so so, good good good good good, good
(So good, so good, so good)
I know you hate it, but I'm
(So good, so good, so good)
So good
(So good, so good, so good)
I am so so good
(So good, so good, so good)
Baby face it I'm good, we're good
(So good, so good, so good)
Thou shall pay bills
