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
Beyoncé casts a lover as a slow-moving toxin, one she cannot shake despite knowing the damage. The song builds its metaphor methodically: each touch weakens her defences, each absence leaves her desperate for the next dose. The paradox sits at the heart of it all. How can something so destructive feel so necessary? The track channels the influence of Etta James, a touchstone of the era, filtered through the particular vulnerability of a newly married woman examining what devotion costs. Beyoncé's vocal work moves between resignation and hunger, tracing the arc of someone caught between self-preservation and compulsion. The production sits patient and deliberate, letting the lyric do the heavy lifting, never overselling the drama.
"Poison" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album I Am... Sasha Fierce (The Bonus Tracks), released 20th November 2009. 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'.
