It was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III, Sean Garrett, and Shawn Corey “Jay-Z” Carter for Destiny’s Child’s fourth studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004). The song was already developed by Jerkins before it came to Destiny’s Child. After hearing the song, they altered it with help from Jay-Z.

“Lose My Breath” was released as the album’s lead single in late 2004, considered as their comeback after a three-year hiatus. The single was critically and commercially successful, receiving positive responses from critics and the public. “Lose My Breath” reached the top spot on most charts in Europe, making it one of Destiny’s Child’s most successful single releases.

The song was nominated at the 2005 Grammy Award for “Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo Or Group”. The single’s music video, which features Destiny’s Child in three characters, also received nominations.

In MTV Making of the Video in 2003, Beyoncé described the videos’s conception: The video celebrates the evolution of a woman. It is about a girl who is at the point of a relationship. She realizes that she is in love, she is doing stuff she would not normally do but she does not care. It does not matter she is just crazy in love.”

BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE

“Sweet Dreams” is a song by Beyoncé from her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008). Lyrically, the song describes a beautiful relationship, which the singer believes could be a dream. The song received widespread critical acclaim for its “spark”, “energy”, “dark tone” and “electropop sound”, with some critics noting its aural similarities to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”. The music video was said to be a more “graphic” video than the others and its motive was said to be “take Sasha to the next level”, as stated by Beyoncé. Concerning the video, she also said: “It’s basically saying that this relationship is so wonderful that it scares me… is it a sweet dream or beautiful nightmare?” The golden robot suit that Knowles wears in the video, is to symbolize her Sasha Fierce alter-ego.

Beauty Bites



YOU SAY "TOMATO," I SAY "TOMAHTO"!

They're packed with lycopene, which protects skin from the oxidation that results from sun damage and leads to wrinkles. Adding a little olive oil helps you absorb lycopene even better. Numerous studies have shown that eating foods high in lycopene is beneficial in warding off heart disease and several types of cancer such as lung, prostate, cervical, digestive tract and breast. Good sources of lycopene are pink grapefruit, guava, watermelon, and rosehips, but the most common and perhaps most powerful is the tomato.





ALMONDS, IT'S IN THE CRUNCH!

They're brimming with vitamin E, which neutralizes free radicals in your muscles and nervous system and enhances speed, coordination and balance. They also have good amounts of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, fibre and are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat. They contain more calcium than any other nut which makes them great for vegetarians who do not eat any dairy products.

Green tea drinkers appear to have lower risk for a wide range of diseases, from simple bacterial or viral infections to chronic degenerative conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, periodontal disease, and osteoporosis.
