Beyoncé Drops Unreleased Song ‘Morning Dew (Donk)’ Ahead of ‘B’Day’ 20th Anniversary Reissue
Beyoncé has officially released 'Morning Dew (Donk)', a track that has long circulated in bootleg form among devoted fans. The song, created in 2013 alongside Pharrell Williams and other collaborators, arrives with an accompanying lyric video and signals the beginning of a promotional period leading up to the twentieth anniversary reissue of her 2006 album 'B'Day', scheduled to launch on September 4—her birthday.
The reissue campaign represents a return to official new material for the artist following her 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter'. 'B'Day' remains a significant milestone in her catalogue, having debuted at the top of the Billboard chart with over half a million first-week sales and producing multiple hit singles. While speculation has circulated about her next original project potentially incorporating rock influences, the singer has not yet disclosed concrete details about her forthcoming work.
