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
'Sorry' was written and produced by Beyoncé, Diana Gordon, and MeLo-X, and released as the second single from 'Lemonade' in May 2016. The track adopts a posture of unapologetic defiance, Beyoncé addressing an absent partner through a series of dismissals and middle-finger salutes. The production is spare and confrontational, built around a looped vocal hook and a rhythm that leaves space for the lyric's bluntness to land.
The song's closing lines introduce the figure of 'Becky with the good hair', a phrase that became a cultural flashpoint and fuelled widespread speculation about infidelity within the album's narrative arc. Beyoncé frames the song as a refusal to mourn or apologise, the repetition of the title phrase functioning as both mantra and barrier. The track was certified four times platinum by the RIAA in December 2024, and an original demo version was later included when 'Lemonade' became available across all streaming platforms.
"Sorry" is a single by Beyoncé, from the album Lemonade, released 22nd April 2016. The track is 3:53 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'.
