Producer and DJ Diplo says a sample he came up with that Beyonce later used started off as a bit of fun.
"I still think a lot of people don't even realise where that song came from," Diplo told Newsbeat.
Beyonce's single, Run the World (Girls), contains parts of Pon De Floor, a track Diplo produced with his group Major Lazer.
He added: "That song never really had a push. It was a song we did, kind of like a funny kind of a joke song."
The 37-year-old American has produced tracks for Usher, Azealia Banks and Marina & the Diamonds.

He recalls working with Beyonce as a surreal experience: "We had to finish up a few records we were working with her on," said Diplo.
He also worked on Beyonce's latest single, End of Time.
"That was super weird man. Like I remember we were in the studio working with her and I still couldn't believe it."
Diplo recently joined the Radio 1 DJ team after changes to the schedule announced earlier this year.
His mix show Diplo & Friends airs Sunday mornings 1-3am.
Didn't he say he hated his work with Beyoncé though? Ugh.
He never said that. He just didn't have that much things to do, he couldn't do everything he wanted that's why it was "boring". But they kinda twisted his words, he later said it on twitter.
Didn't he say he hated his work with Beyoncé though? Ugh.
No, he said he didn't get to enjoy it much because he didn't have a huge part in the creative process. Beyoncé is very hands on and likes to be in control of everything.
