"'''Flaws and All'''" is a song recorded by American recording artistsinger [[Beyoncé]], included onfrom the 2007 deluxe edition of her second studio album, ''[[B'Day (Beyoncé album)|B'Day]]'' (2006). It was composed by [[Ne-Yo]], [[Shea Taylor]], Beyoncé and [[Solange Knowles]], while Beyoncé Knowles and Taylor produced it. In the [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] song, Beyoncé shows appreciation for the love given by her man, who sees through all of her flaws and loves her unconditionally. "Flaws and All" received positive reviews from critics, who lauded Beyoncé's emotion and vulnerability on the track. Some critics also noted that the song was better than some of the songs on the standard edition of ''B'Day''.

The [[music video]] was directed by Cliff Watts and Beyoncé for ''[[B'Day Anthology Video Album]]'' (2007). It features clips of a ''B'Day'' promotional ad by [[Wal-Mart]] pieced together, in which Beyoncé does not lip-sync the words of the song, but instead acts as if it were an everyday scenario. Beyoncé explained the concept for the video was to show a different side to her, that the paparazzi does not show and that fans would not normally see. Beyoncé performed "Flaws and All" on [[The Beyoncé Experience]] (2007), and the song was included on the live album ''[[The Beyoncé Experience Live]]'' (2007). It was also sung liveby her on ''[[The Ellen DeGeneres Show]]'' in 2008 and during Beyoncé's show, [[Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live]] in(2012), Mayand [[Renaissance 2012World Tour]] (2023).

"Flaws and All" was written by [[Ne-Yo]], [[Shea Taylor]], [[Beyoncé Knowles]] and her sister [[Solange Knowles]]. The [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] song was produced by Beyoncé Knowles and Taylor, and mixed by Jean-Marie Horvat at Oz Recording Studios, [[Valencia, California]]. "Flaws and All" was recorded by Jim Caruana, Shane Woodley and Robert "LB" Dorsey at Roc the Mic studio, [[New York City]].<ref name="B'Day"/><ref name="bet"/> Although the song was originally included on the re-release of ''B'Day'',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nme.com/news/beyonce/26468|title=Beyonce reissue details announced|work=[[NME]]|publisher=[[IPC Media]]|date=February 15, 2007|accessdateaccess-date=June 4, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rap-up.com/2007/02/20/beyonce-to-release-deluxe-edition-of-bday/|title=Beyoncé to Release Deluxe Edition of B'Day|work=[[Rap-Up]]|publisher=Devin Lazerine|date=February 20, 2007|accessdateaccess-date=June 4, 2012}}</ref> it was additionally included on [[compilation album]]s.
