"Me, Myself and I" is a song by American singer Beyoncé from her debut solo album Dangerously in Love (2003). It was written by her, Scott Storch and Robert Waller and produced by Storch with guitar played by Aaron Fishbein. Beyoncé decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song as the third single; the song was sent by Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 19, 2003. "Me, Myself and I" is an R&B song about dealing with a philandering partner and learning from the consequences.
"Me, Myself and I" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Beyoncé's fourth consecutive top-five single in the United States. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The single reached the top twenty in Australia, the Netherlands, Scotland and the United Kingdom. The live performance of the song from The Beyoncé Experience Live was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, and the original version earned Beyoncé, Storch and Waller an ASCAP Pop Music Award.
Directed by Johan Renck, the accompanying music video premiered on the 10th of December, 2003, and follows the plot of the song's theme and the events in the video are played in reverse. It would later be nominated in the Best R&B Video at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards. "Me, Myself and I" was part of Beyoncé's set lists on the Dangerously in Love Tour (2003), Verizon Ladies First Tour (2004), The Beyoncé Experience (2007), the I Am... World Tour (2009–10) and The Formation World Tour (2016).
