About This Track

Beyoncé's reimagining of Dolly Parton's classic transforms the original narrative entirely. Where Parton's 'Jolene' pleads with a rival to spare a relationship, Beyoncé rewrites the story as her own, turning the song into a statement of defiance rather than surrender. Parton herself appears on the track, lending her voice to an audio message that reframes the song's central conflict through a new lens. The lyrical shifts are deliberate and pointed. Beyoncé acknowledges the original whilst pivoting its emotional core, addressing the woman in question with a mixture of recognition and resolve. The cover sits at the heart of Cowboy Carter as a moment of artistic dialogue between two generations of women in music, each claiming space within a song about desire, jealousy, and the refusal to be displaced.

"DOLLY P" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album COWBOY CARTER, released 29th March 2024. The track is 0:23 long. It's filed under Country. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Beyoncé.

Lyrics

DOLLY P

(Jolene)
Hey, Miss Honey B, it's Dolly P
You know that hussy with the good hair you sang about?
Reminded me of someone I knew back when
Except she has flamin' locks of auburn hair, bless her heart
Just a hair of a different color but it hurts just the same

    Welcome to the Renaissance - Beyoncé can do whatever she wants at London's Tottenham Hotspur stadium

    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.
