Deja Vu is an R B song, which incorporates elements of the 1970s funk and soul music. Its music is largely based on live instrumentation, including bass guitar, hi-hat, horns, except Roland TR-808 drum machine, which is a non-live instrument. The song's title and lyrics refer to a woman being constantly reminded of a past lover. Deja Vu was released as the album's lead single to US radio stations. Many critics noted the similarities of Deja Vu with Beyonce's own 2003 song Crazy in Love. Critics commended the assertiveness and the sensuality with which Beyonce sings the lyrics and compared her vocal delivery to that of Tina Turner in the late 1980s. Deja Vu and its Freemasons club remix version received three nominations at the 2007 Grammy Awards. It was recognized as the Best Song of 2006 at the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards. Commercially, Deja Vu peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart, the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart, and the Hot R B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Deja Vu" peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
