Beyoncé built "Cuff It" out of disco and funk for Renaissance, her seventh studio album, and on September 30, 2022, it became the record's second single. She produced it with Nova Wav, Raphael Saadiq and The-Dream, and the players are a funk historian's dream: Nile Rodgers on guitar, Saadiq on bass, drums and clavinet, Sheila E. on percussion, with trumpet, trombone and sax riding on top. It also borrows from Teena Marie's 1988 song "Ooo La La La", written by Teena Marie and Allen McGrier.
NME called it the best song of 2022, it climbed to number six on the Billboard Hot 100, and it won Best R&B Song at the 65th Grammys. It even got a second life: after DJ Esentrik's unofficial mashup with Twista's 2009 track "Wetter" went viral, Beyoncé answered in February 2023 with an official "Wetter Remix" carrying new vocals and lyrics.
