Countdown - Beyonce

I am sure most of you are all have heard the song Countdown by Beyonce. It is part of her new album IV (4). In the song she pretty much describes her and Jay Z’s entire relationship and how strong their bond is.  She does this in the form of a countdown. First she starts with 10 and describes how her “baby” (Jay Z) is a ten. Then she uses by saying he dressed to the 9, meaning he has a good sense of style. Next she uses 8 by saying that he picks her up at they “ate”. He makes her feel so lucky 7, like the lucky number 7. He kisses her in his 6. They’re making love in 5, as in 5 seconds.  He is still the one she does it 4 (for).  She is trying to make a 3 from that 2, meaning that she is trying to start a family with him, and ironically enough she got pregnant around the time that this song came out. Finally she uses the number one to say that he is still the one. I think that was a cute way to describe their relationship, it almost describes the 10 reasons why she loves him so much. In the verses of the song she pretty much just describes how they do fight, and although things aren’t always great she will always be in love with him and keep falling in love with him. She explains how they both don’t get tired of each other and still love everything about each other and she will do anything for him. It is also ironic how the song is a countdown starting from 10 and they have been together for 10 years. It seemed like perfect timing to make such a song.
