Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.

Release: 2000Source checked
V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The label documents the original single and Charlie's Angels soundtrack appearance in 2000, before its inclusion on Survivor in 2001. Part II is a separate recording.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
Columbia/Legacy - original Destiny's Child recording history
The label explicitly dates the original No, No, No Part 2 single featuring Wyclef Jean to late 1997, before the February 1998 debut album. It identifies Independent Women Part I as a 2000 single and Charlie's Angels soundtrack recording before Survivor in 2001, and outlines the 1999 and 2004 original albums. Its table mixes album years with single history; only the scoped original events are used. Chart claims and its inconsistent album numbering are not adopted.
Survivor - original program and preceding soundtrack single
The original 2001 program identifies Survivor, Bootylicious, Emotion and Brown Eyes. Independent Women Part 1 retains a 2000 single date and is separately titled from Part 2. The original Emotion production is distinguished from the Neptunes Remix named in the label anthology.
About Destiny's Child
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Destiny's Child developed in Houston as a vocal group whose early recording lineup included Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. The Writing's on the Wall pairs tightly coordinated harmonies with crisp, rhythmically detailed R&B production. The later trio of Beyonce, Rowland and Michelle Williams recorded Survivor and Destiny Fulfilled, moving between forceful dance tracks and slower vocal exchanges. The members' solo catalogs remain separate from these group recordings.
