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
A Dork five-star record, 'RENAISSANCE' finds Beyoncé returning to pop on her own terms: an immersive homage to dance and club culture sequenced like one long DJ set. 'HEATED', the eleventh track, is a pulsing afrobeats cut that channels the album's looser, more playful spirit. Beyoncé raps about luxury brands and impatience, fanning herself off as the temperature rises, her delivery confident and petty in equal measure.
The production thrums with the physical intensity that defines the album, body music filtered through Beyoncé's unique prism. She adopts a voice that is funny, uplifting, and distinctly weird at turns, the track embodying the carefree energy that runs through the record. The song originally contained an ableist slur that drew criticism and was subsequently updated, mirroring a similar correction made by Lizzo.
'HEATED' sits within an album that pays homage to the lineage of black female and queer dance culture, a crystallisation of references that emerge as 'RENAISSANCE' progresses. It is pop music as a statement of history and celebration, Beyoncé loose and exuberant, making the greatest DJ set from the greatest pop star of the modern age.
"HEATED" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album RENAISSANCE, released 28th July 2022. The track is 4:21 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'.
