== Trivia ==

* The album's release was announced for autumn [[2002]], but [[Columbia Records]] and Beyonce's management decided to give [[Kelly Rowland]] priority after her chart-topping success with [[Nelly]] and "Dilemma".

* At the same time "Naughty Girl" was in talks to become the first single from ''Dangerously In Love''; "Crazy In Love" wasn't even recorded to date.

* The worldwide success of ''Dangerously In Love'' caused Beyonce and [[Columbia Records]] to think about an immediate follow-up, that should combine several left-over tracks for another CD. The idea was scrapped to realize ''Destiny Fulfilled'' a little later on.

* Beyonce mentioned she wrote about 45 songs for the album, including never-heard titles like "Scent Of You", "Settle for U" or "Vunerable" ( ... source: BMI Database).

* [[Timbaland]] also went into studio with Beyonce. With the help of [[Missy Elliott]] they created "Wrapped Around Me", a song, that was given to newcomer Cheri Dennis afterwards.

* International editions of the album include songs like "What's It Gonna Be", "[[Work It Out]]" and "[[03 Bonnie & Clyde]]".
