About This Track
The ninth track on 'Lemonade', 'Forward' runs barely a minute and marks a tonal pivot within the album's arc of betrayal and healing. James Blake shares vocal and writing credits, his voice threading through the sparse production alongside Beyoncé's as the lyric circles a single imperative.
Blake's lines address the tension between ambition and intimacy directly, the plea that love matters more than work delivered without ornament. The repetition of the title word becomes both mantra and instruction, the song less a fully developed composition than a breath between chapters, a moment of clarity before the narrative moves on.
"Forward" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album Lemonade, released 23rd April 2016. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Beyoncé.
About the Artist
Lyrics
Forward Best foot first just in case When we made our way 'til now It's time to listen, it's time to fight Forward Now we're going to hold doors open for a while Now we can be open for a while Forward I love you more than this job, please don't work for me Forward Go back to your sleep in your favorite spot just next to me Forward, forward
