Survivor is the third Destiny's Child album where Beyonce assumed more control than ever taking hand in co-producing and co-writing the entire album. The the trio said that everybody is singing lead on very song some critics say that it is totally inaccurate as most of the songs are completely sung by Beyonce alone including "Brown Eyes", "Perfect Man", and "Dance with Me" as well "Dangerously In Love", the song that Beyonce used for the title and lead track for her solo album. Though it was credited as being sung by the group.
