It was originally conceived by Tedder and Bogart specifically for Beyoncé, although there was media speculation that it had been intended for Leona Lewis. from the album I Am...

The song faced a controversy when Kelly Clarkson claimed that Tedder had reused the musical arrangement in her own 2009 song "Already Gone". "Halo" received positive reviews from music critics, who made comparisons with Lewis's 2007 song "Bleeding Love", also written by Tedder. Its production and Beyoncé's vocals also received critical praise. "Halo" was nominated for Record of the Year and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. It won Best Song at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. "Halo" topped the singles charts of Brazil, Portugal, Norway, and Slovakia, and reached the top five on the singles chart of Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was the most-played song of the 2000s decade on Brazilian radio, despite being released in 2009. The song has received numerous certifications, including a thirteen-times platinum certification from Australia, making it one of the highest-certified songs in the country, an elevenfold-platinum certification from the US, a ninefold-platinum certification from Canada, a quadruple-platinum certification from the United Kingdom, a triple-platinum certification from Italy, a triple-gold certification from Germany and a double-platinum award from Spain and Denmark. Philip Andelman directed the accompanying music video, which features American actor Michael Ealy. It portrays a romantic relationship between characters played by Beyoncé and Ealy. Critics complimented Beyoncé's looks in the clip, and it became her first YouTube video to surpass one billion views. An alternative music video, which shows Ealy's character being chased by police officers through a forest at night, was posted on the Internet in May 2010. The lyrics to "Halo" were changed for three of Beyoncé's special live performances: a tribute to Michael Jackson following his death, a tribute to the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and for Kobe and Gianna Bryant's memorial in 2020. The song has been covered by many artists, including Florence and the Machine, Harper Blynn, LP, and Westlife. It was also performed on the television show Glee, and was added to the soundtrack of the Brazilian telenovela Caminho das Índias.
