In an interview with Leslie Moore on Tumblr, Cainon Lamb recalled how he started working on the Boyz II Men's sample and how his work reached Knowles.[16] He said that he began working on "Countdown" during the night preceding the 2010 BET Awards.[16] He was in the studio, listening to Boyz II Men's song, "Uhh Ahh". He commented: "[It] starts with a countdown of '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1'. So I thought, 'Wow, that could be something. Just the countdown itself.'"[16] Once the countdown was in the computer, he slightly increased the pace at which it was played, added some snare drum taps to it, and started a beat.[16] After that, he sent the song to his publisher, EMI Music. The latter was impressed with the instrumental and went on saying: "I had a meeting this morning with Beyoncé and I played a couple other songs I had and she wasn't really feeling them. When I played the beat that you sent me, you should have seen how she went crazy! She started dancing and bouncing up and down and just doing all kind of stuff. She loved that beat!"[16] On the request of his publisher, Lamb made "a female version of the countdown part".[16] Terius Nash wrote the verses and two days later, Knowles went in the studio and recorded it.[16]
The instrumental of the song featured in Google's 2020 'Most Searched: A Celebration of Black History Makers' ad, which included Beyoncé's Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance as the most searched performance.[65]

Knowles' fashion in the clip includes retro side-swept mini bangs, large lined eyes and almond-shaped pumpkin-colored nails.[92]As stated by MTV Style, these accessories, alongside Knowles' "syncopated dancing in vibrant monochrome, wink back to that iconic Audrey Hepburn sequence in Funny Face".[92] Knowles' make-up was by Francesca Tolot, who explained, "The inspiration behind Beyoncé'[s] brightly-lined lids came from the beatnik movement of the late '[19]50s, early '[19]60s. From previous experiences with Dreamgirls, I knew Beyoncé looked amazing with that type of makeup so the almond eye seemed to be the perfect fit."[92] For the countdown part of the video, Knowles wears black and white from head-to-toe and neon orange nails.[92] The first time Knowles shows her baby bump in the video, she wears a black and white dress, designed by Thierry Mugler.[92]

Jalen Rose is one of these people. The former Fab Five member / 13-year NBA veteran is now an analyst for ABC and ESPN, and also has a heavy hand in deciding which instrumental tracks get played in the background during his NBA Countdown and ESPN on ABC telecasts. Which wouldn't be a big deal if they were generic looping rock songs or vague dance tracks that were bought from some studio musician for $40 and a turkey sandwich. But they're not. The instrumentals chosen by Rose and the team at ABC are anything but generic and vague. They're HITS.
