Beyoncé is celebrating 'B'Day' with her first new song in two years, ‘Morning Dew (Donk)’
New track launches 60-day countdown to 'B'Day' 20th anniversary edition.
About This Track
The sixth track on 'Lemonade', Beyoncé's 2016 album released through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, 'Daddy Lessons' arrived with a music video as part of the hour-long film that accompanied the record's HBO premiere. Written and produced by Wynter Gordon, Beyoncé, Kevin Cossom and Alex Delicata, the song later received a standalone video release and a high-profile live performance with the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Association Awards.
The lyric adopts the voice of a daughter recalling paternal instruction, the father figure teaching resilience and self-defence through a childhood of motorcycles, vinyl and whiskey-laced domesticity. Beyoncé frames the advice as both protective and cautionary, the refrain invoking the Second Amendment and a deathbed warning about men who play games. The arrangement leans into country signifiers, steel guitar and yeehaw ad-libs grounding the narrative in a Texan setting, whilst the subject matter connects the personal inheritance of toughness to the album's broader themes of betrayal and survival.
"Daddy Lessons" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album Lemonade, released 22nd April 2016. The track is 4:48 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Beyoncé.

New track launches 60-day countdown to 'B'Day' 20th anniversary edition.

We’ve all agreed that Beyoncé can do whatever she wants by now, right? Over the course of a flawless 30-year career, she’s been a member of one of the most influential pop groups of all time before releasing a run of boundary-pushing solo albums alongside game-changing live performances. She’s more than earnt the right for complete creative freedom and she repeatedly does things her own way tonight at the first of five sold-out stadium shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

The singer-songwriter continued to sweep major awards for her recent work.

The 65th Grammy Awards show is set to air on February 5th.
The greatest DJ set you'll ever hear from the greatest pop star of the modern age.

The record will feature 16 tracks, including recent single 'Break My Soul'.
