"Cuff It" charted in more than a dozen territories and received acclaim from critics.[4] Almost two months after the release of Renaissance, the album track began to trend on social media. "Cuff It" re-entered several charts around the world; with new peaks in Ireland[5] and New Zealand.[6]


Background


Beyoncé told British Vogue that the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic changed her as a person, stating that she has "spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I've decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy."[7] She released her seventh studio album, Renaissance, in July 2022 to critical acclaim. "Cuff It" appears as the fourth track on the album, and was written and produced by Beyoncé, Nova Wav, Morten Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq and The-Dream, while additional writing was handled by Nile Rodgers.


Critical reception


"Cuff It" received acclaim from music critics. Exclaim!'s Vernon Ayiku declared the track as "the album's biggest standout" and described it as a "groovy feel-good anthem".[8] AllMusic's Andy Kellman opined that "Cuff It" was "a disco-funk burner with Nile Rodgers' inimitable rhythm guitar" and that it has "all the vigor of Lady T's uptempo classics".[9] USA Today critic Melissa Ruggieri described the song as a "soulful bop" and praised the signature guitar-funk sound of co-writer Nile Rodgers.[10] Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times categorized the song as "ebullient disco fantasia" and praised Beyoncé's sensual vocal delivery.[11]
