"Upgrade U" is a song by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles, featuring vocals by hip hop artist Jay-Z. The track was produced by American producers Swizz Beatz, Cameron Wallace and Knowles for her second solo album, B'Day. "Upgrade U" is about a relationship between a man and a woman; the woman claims she can upgrade her man and introduce him to new things, improving his lifestyle and reputation.
The song was released in the United States only as a promo single. It received mixed reviews from critics and reached #59 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The music video for "Upgrade U" was shot during the two-week filming for B'Day Anthology Video Album. It was directed by Melina and Beyoncé, and shot between "Kitty Kat" and "Green Light" for a day and a half. Jay-Z performed his rap scenes after Beyoncé studied her part. In the video, Beyoncé pretends as Jay-Z during the second rap; she later commented that she was "out of her character" or the character "people think" she is.
It premiered on February 28 on BET's 106 & Park – the same day as the video for Beyoncé's other single release, "Beautiful Liar" featuring Shakira, on TRL. The music video for "Upgrade U" peaked at number six on 106 & Park; in the UK, the music video peaked at number one on MTV Base's Base Chart Show on May 16.
In the beginning of the video, Beyoncé is seen mouthing the words of Jay-Z's lyrics, dressed in masculine, hip-hop style clothing. She is later seen wearing vintage Cazal 907 sunglasses and singing in the backseat of a Rolls Royce. During the choruses, she dances in a gold minidress in front of a group of male back-up dancers. She continues the Jay-Z imitation through his rapped verse, and halfway through it, Jay-Z appears to finish the rap himself. Beyoncé is seen amidst gold watches and jewelry, continuing the motif of luxury that is alluded to in the song.
The music video has been used as a commercial advertising high definition satellite television from DirecTV; portions of the video were re-shot for her announcement.
