"Cozy" is a song by American singer Beyoncé. It is the second track on her seventh studio album Renaissance (2022), which was released on July 29, 2022, through Parkwood and Columbia.




Composition


Well, first of all, I had to pick my jaw off the ground when that call came. It was so humbling to feel that the work that you've been doing and your lived experience was being acknowledged by someone of that caliber. So it was very humbling. And one of the things that I was told from her team was that, you know, she wanted to make this dance record and she wanted to go to the true source of Chicago house music.
"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.
Beyoncé makes a reference to the Progress Pride flag in the lyrics with each color being mentioned. 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.

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 transitioned from "I'm That Girl", like on the album. The performance begins with a dance intro with Beyoncé moving robotically alongside 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" and “Virgo’s Groove”. 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.
