"Countdown" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles for her fourth studio album, 4 (2011). "Countdown"'s music video is heavily influenced by 1960s pop art; it is drenched in vintage-hued colors and retro clothes. Knowles' fashion in the clip includes retro side-swept mini bangs, large lined eyes and almond-shaped pumpkin-colored nails.
