🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • All the single ladies
  • Now put your hands up
  • Up in the club, we just broke up
  • I'm doing my own little thing

Echo the hook

  • Oh, oh, oh
  • If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
  • If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
  • Don't be mad once you see that he want it
