Continuing on in the same vein as “The Schuyler Sisters,” Eliza here transforms into a full-fledged Beyoncé—frequently mimicking the superstar’s characteristic ways of singing, particularly her flow from “Countdown”—as she falls headlong for Hamilton.

Miranda himself has called “Countdown” “the most perfect song ever written.”

A dutiful daughter, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton eschewed the elopements chosen by three of her sisters and instead conducted a traditional, if whirlwind, courtship with the dashing young aide she found at George Washington’s headquarters in February 1780. They had met briefly a few years before, but now Alexander Hamilton was smitten, “a gone man,” in the words of another aide.

For comparison:

In Helpless, Eliza describes the night she and her sister first met Hamilton. In the following song, Satisfied, the night is described again, but from Angelica’s perspective.
