Infobox

 * "Writers" section does not need to be sourced since it is in the article ✅

Lead

 * ...Pharrell and Don Jazzy for Jay-Z's and West's collaboration album, Watch the Throne. → "Watch the Throne" should have year of release in parentheses next to it ✅
 * However, Mars never appeared on the song and it was sent... → Remove "it" to make prose flow better ✅
 * "Lift Off" was performed live by Jay-Z and Kanye West during their tour in promotion of Watch the Throne titled Watch the Throne Tour (2011-12).[2][3] → Information in the lead section should be included in the article ✅

Background and composition

 * In early May, 2011... → Get rid of comma after "May" ✅
 * ...it was rumored that Bruno Mars recorded vocals for the song along with Beyoncé Knowles and it was reported that the song will be released as the lead single... → Has the album been released? If so, "will be released" needs to be changed to "would be released" ✅
 * According to WP:SAMPLE, audio recordings have to be less than 10% of the original recording (it needs to be less than 26.6 seconds and is currently 30 seconds)
 * ❌ I don't know how to do that.

Critical reception

 * ...MTV News' Alvin Blanco, heard a preview of the song... → Comma not needed after "Blanco"

Release and chart performance

 * "Lift Off" was sent to urban contemporary radio in the United States on August 23.[36] → Specify year ✅
 * However, this was stated in July, 2011 and no further plans about it were announced. → Source is needed, or it violates WP:NOR ✅
 * Expand information on chart performance
 * Nothing more to expand...

Charts

 * No issues
