Cozy (song)
"Cozy" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American singer Beyoncé. It is the second track on the former's seventh studio album Renaissance (2022), which was released on July 29, 2022, through Parkwood and Columbia. Composition
 

"Cozy" is a slinky and energetic Chicago house and deep house song with themed lyrics of self-love, self-empowerment, and trans empowerment. The drum-line backed production is driven off a sample of "Get With U" by Lidell Townsell & M.T.F. House music pioneer Honey Dijon, who identifies as trans, provided the song's production. During the song's post-chorus and bridge, there features a vocal excerpt of Ts Madison from her YouTube video "Bitch I'm Black". Critical reception 
"Cozy" received positive reviews from critics at the time of the parent album's release, many commending the track's self-empowerment lyrics. In a review by Complex, Karla Rodriguez stated that the song "feels like someone is speaking affirmations over you, making you feel so damn good about yourself". Mark Beaumont of The Independent called the track an "anthem of self-love and black pride" in the style of "muted future R&B." Commercial performance 
After the release of Renaissance, "Cozy" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 30 and on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 13. Personnel and credits

Live performance 

Beyoncé first performed "Cozy" in Stockholm, Sweden on the opening night of the Renaissance World Tour. The song takes place in the robotic-themed "Renaissance" act of the tour and follows "I'm That Girl" with a seamless transition, like on the album. The performance begins with a dance intro with Beyoncé moving robotically along side two mechanical arms resembling frames. During this intro, there are spoken vocals by Kevin JZ Prodigy, a ballroom commentator and elements borrowed from "Pure/Honey". Throughout the performance, there is a pink colored holograph reading off some of the song's lyrics. The fashion for this segment of the tour was interchanged with each date, starting with a custom Courrèges outfit from the fall 2023 collection. Later, she would wear a custom Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini bodysuit, then a metallic Balmain bodysuit. Charts
