The single will appear on an upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of B'Day

July 4, 2026

Beyoncé is celebrating the 4th of July and the 20th anniversary of her sophomore LP B'Day with the release of a new song. “Morning Dew (Donk)”—which was originally meant for the 2006 album—was co-written with Pharrell, The-Dream, and Darius Dixson, and produced by Pharrell and Bey. It is set to appear on an upcoming reissue of B'Day, coming September 4.

A press release notes that “Morning Dew” is “a direct nod to her loyal BeyHive to commemorate the upcoming epic celebration of B’Day,” and features a visual with old footage shot by photographer Cliff Watts. You can listen to the single and watch the clip below. It's Bey's first new material since her 2024 Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter.
