Tbh I'm not so sure. It is a well produced song, but it is deceptively simple.

Halo has more involved production, so I understand that one being pushed over Single Ladies.

See, I was thinking that the two songs should've switched categories. I feel like she could've won for both had Halo went up for Song and Single Ladies for Record.
