"Me, Myself and I" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé. It was written by Beyoncé, Scott Storch and Robert Waller for her debut solo album Dangerously in Love (2003). The recording was produced by Storch with guitars performed by musician Aaron Fishbein. Beyoncé decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song for the third single; the song was sent by Columbia Records to US radio on October 19, 2003. "Me, Myself and I" is an R&B song about dealing with a philandering boyfriend and learning from the consequences.

The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and earned Beyoncé, Storch and Waller an American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Award. "Me, Myself and I" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and became Beyoncé's fourth consecutive US top five single. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The single reached the top 20 in Australia, the UK and in some European countries.

Directed by Johan Renck, the accompanying music video follows the plot of the song's theme and the events in the video are played in reverse. "Me, Myself and I" was part of Beyoncé's set list on the Verizon Ladies First Tour, the Dangerously in Love Tour, The Beyoncé Experience , the I Am... Tour and the Formation World Tour.

After the release of her former group Destiny's Child's 2001 album Survivor, Beyoncé worked on her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. She stated that it was more personal than her previous records because she only had to write for herself. She contacted various musical collaborators, including Storch and Waller. The musical style of "Me, Myself and I" is different from the style of her previous singles; Beyoncé decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song for the next single. Following the release of the song, Beyoncé told Corey Moss of MTV News, "['Me, Myself and I'] is really powerful. It talks about women basically listening to their inner voice and knowing that they will never disappoint themselves."
