About This Track
'Jealous' appears on Beyoncé's self-titled fifth studio album, written by Beyoncé alongside Detail, Andre Eric Proctor, Lyrica Anderson, Brian Soko, with additional production from Rasool Diaz and Boots. The track broods through layers of distorted vocals and echoing yelps, a power ballad built on experimental textures rather than conventional sweep.
The lyric adopts the voice of someone waiting, half-dressed in a penthouse with a prepared meal and a single shot left in the glass. Beyoncé maps the emotional arithmetic of a relationship where promises are currency: if one party keeps theirs, the other will too. The song escalates from domestic standoff to night-out retaliation, the narrator pulling a dress from the closet and staying out until morning, running into an ex and reminiscing about Texas. The bridge acknowledges the contradiction outright, hating the lies whilst loving the act of provoking jealousy in return, framing the whole posture as human reflex rather than moral failing.
The production keeps the vocal treatment restless, the experimental layering matching the lyric's refusal to settle into either accusation or apology. It is self-referential in method as well as subject, the song discussing its own emotional logic whilst enacting it.
"Jealous" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album BEYONCÉ, released 13th December 2013. 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'.
