Bey, Pharrell, Miguel and Timbaland achieved pure flaming ecstasy with this song.

It has insane replay value, that's all there is to its longevity. But at the same time I wonder why people outside the UK and Australia didn't quite catch on with it.

Thanks Bey for putting Ryan Beatty on my radar, I'm totally obsessed with his recent album. Please be back for act III.

The "Free" background adlibs during the 2nd chorus are truly liberating.

DONK gets the single treatment with the official radio push. Yep, no act III this year.

The Dark Knight, Interstellar and Oppenheimer. Decades long of acclaim, commercial success and industry impact.

The B'Day anniversary out of nowhere is still so random. When will we get the details on this?

It's over 4m posts on TikTok now, 100k daily increase.

Those curls

Her jewelry game remains unmatched. She's always allowed to wear the most outrageous pieces.

Alien Superstar's wasted potential hurts to this day, the same with Bodyguard.

They're really pushing it. This B'Day anniversary is one of the most unpredictable things she's done in a long time.

Donk has over 70k videos on TikTok already, gaining a lot today.

Why are they calling it "the upcoming epic celebration of B'DAY" in the press release? They must have planned something besides a simple rerelease.

I'm sure that's one of the main reasons the visuals are still put ad acta. The timely matter fit at the time and for Renaissance, but for that act only. To visualize an interconnected trilogy, all with different „genres" and backgrounds over the course of half a decade is one hell of a task, now with the socio-political factors we faced the last 6+ years added to this it's no wonder they seem lost from the outside.
