Those three also produced the track, along with вЂњFlawlessвЂќ producer Hit-Boy. One of the surefire club hits from Lemonade, вЂњSorryвЂќ was co-written by singer-songwriter Wynter Gordon, Melo-X, and Bey.

The song was produced by both Bey and White, was co-written with singer-songwriter Wynter Gordon, and leans so far into WhiteвЂ™s rock influence that it samples Led ZeppelinвЂ™s вЂњ When the Levee Breaks.вЂќ Just as Bey raps вЂњcall me Malcolm X,вЂќ the video samples MalcolmвЂ™s вЂњ Who Taught You to Hate Yourself? вЂќ speech - in which he famously called the black woman the most neglected person in America -В over clips of black women. ThatвЂ™s him on background vocals and bass. No Tidal event of this magnitude would be complete without an appearance from the serviceвЂ™s unofficial spokesperson and fellow co-owner, Jack White. In case her driving a monster truck over a row of cars didnвЂ™t make it clear enough, this is first and foremost a tale of infidelity. In what will likely be the most talked-about of the 12 videos, BeyoncГ© wields a baseball bat on the streets of NoLa, smashing cars, police surveillance cameras, and just generally fucking up every bitch in sight - us viewers included - all while maniacally asking: вЂњWhatвЂ™s worse, looking jealous or crazy?вЂќ The entire visual draws heavily on Pipilotti RistвЂ™s 1997 вЂњEver is Over AllвЂќ installation. It also has writing credits from living acid trip Father John Misty, Soulja Boy (yep, for interpolating вЂњ Turn My Swag OnвЂќ), the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (for вЂњcontaining elements,вЂќ whatever that means, of вЂњ MapsвЂќ!), Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman (for also containing elements of Andy WilliamsвЂ™s вЂњ CanвЂ™t Get Used to Losing YouвЂњ), producer/composer Emile Haynie, singer/producer MNEK (who you likely know from Zara LarssonвЂ™s вЂњ Never Forget YouвЂќ), producer Onye Anyanwu, and producer Melo-X. One of the most star-studded tracks on the album, this reggae-trap kiss-off was mainly co-produced and co-written by Diplo, Vampire WeekendвЂ™s Ezra Koenig, and BeyoncГ© herself.

Additional directors include: Todd Tourso (her creative director), Dikayl Rimmasch (BeyoncГ© and Jay ZвЂ™s вЂњBang BangвЂќ tour visuals), Jonas Г…kerlund (вЂњHaunted,вЂќ вЂњSuperpowerвЂќ), and Mark Romanek. ItвЂ™s not exactly clear just yet who directed which videos (save for Melina Matsoukas, who we know directed вЂњFormationвЂќ), but Khalil Joseph and BeyoncГ© are listed as the main directors. (Throughout the film, BeyoncГ© quotes from вЂњwarsan versus melancholy (the 7 stages of being lonely),вЂќ вЂњFor Women Who Are Difficult To Love,вЂќ вЂњThe unbearable weight of staying (the end of the relationship),вЂќ and вЂњNail Technician As Palm Reader.вЂќ) warsan versus melancholy (the seven stages of being lonely) by Warsan Shire Each tells her personal version of the stages of grief -В intuition, denial, anger, apathy, emptiness, accountability, reformation, forgiveness, resurrection, hope, redemption - and adapts the writing of the Somali-British poet extraordinaire Warsan Shire for all the spoken word interludes between songs. (Bey and Garrett also co-produced it.) BeyoncГ© вЂ™s visual album begins with her on a stage and in the fields of New Orleans, the main setting for her 11-chapter opus. The stunning opening ballad was co-written by British electro-soul singer James Blake, Brooklyn singer-songwriter Kevin Garrett, and BeyoncГ©. Below, we have a track-by-track breakdown of everything you need to know about BeyoncГ©вЂ™s latest world-stopping digital drop. As such, thereвЂ™s sure to be a lot of questions about the whole shebang. Like every BeyoncГ© event this decade, itвЂ™s a smorgasbord of surprise cameos (Serena Williams!), inspiration ( Warsan Shire!), and quotables (sorry Beckys of the world).

Twelve more polarizing songs, 12 more ambitious videos to feast your eyes and ears on. As many (namely her BeyHive) expected, BeyoncГ©вЂ™s Lemonade HBO special turned out to also be the premiere of her entire new visual album, which then dropped exclusively on Tidal - though it is now available on iTunes - during the broadcast. Ring the alarm: BeyoncГ© has done it again.

With me all night beyonce
