On Independence Day weekend, Beyoncé delivered "Morning Dew (Donk)" to fans, marking her first original track in roughly two years. Created alongside producer Pharrell Williams and songwriters The-Dream and Darius Dixon, the song will appear on a reissue celebrating the 20th anniversary of her 2006 album B'Day, accompanied by a black-and-white music video incorporating archival footage as a commemorative gift to her fanbase.

The release comes nearly two years after Beyoncé's 2024 country album Cowboy Carter, which recently earned her a long-overdue Album of the Year Grammy Award—her first win in that category despite being the most-awarded artist in Grammy history. The song initiates a countdown toward both the B'Day reissue and her September birthday, whilst fuelling ongoing speculation among listeners about a potential third installment in the multi-album project that began with Renaissance.
