Beyoncé Drops Surprise New Single 'Morning Dew (Donk)' To Kick Off B'Day's 20th Anniversary Celebration

The new track is Beyoncé’s first in two years and arrives with a lyric video built from archival B'Day footage, Parkwood said.

  • Pharrell Williams and The-Dream co-wrote the track alongside Darius Dixon, with Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams sharing production credits on the record for the anniversary edition.
  • Frequent collaborator Cliff Watts directed the accompanying lyric video, which repurposes archival footage from the original B DAY era. Watts previously photographed Beyoncé's iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover around her 25th birthday.
