Trivia

Interesting facts about Sorry. By Songfacts.

This song finds Beyoncé calling out her husband Jay Z for his alleged infidelity: Sorry, I ain't sorry Sorry, I ain't sorry I ain't sorry, nigga, nah Beyoncé is not apologizing for her anger. She doesn't care about the consequence of her rage.


Beyoncé ends the song with the declaration: He only want me when I'm not there He better call Becky with the good hair Jay-Z has had a close relationship with Dutch-Indian fashion designer Rachel Roy for several years and in 2014, sources reported that Roy was being flirtatious with the rap mogul at a party. Afterwards, surveillance footage emerged showing Beyonce's sister Solange lashing out at Jay Z in an elevator. After Lemonade premiered, there was speculation among the Beyhive that Beyoncé was pointing her finger at Roy with her "Becky with the good hair" lyric. Roy took to Instagram to deny she is the woman that the pop star is referencing. "I respect love, marriages, families and strength," she wrote. "What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind." Bey previously referenced the elevator incident on her "Flawless" remix when she sung: "We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators, of course sometime s--t go down when there's a billion dollars on an elevator."


Beyoncé wrote the song with singer-songwriter Wynter Gordon and Brooklyn multimedia artist Melo-X. The trio also helmed the track, along with "Flawless" producer Hit-Boy. According to Melo-X, the tune was written in the summer of 2015. He recalled to Pitchfork: "That track was kind of like creating a vibe in the studio. We were just working on a lot of stuff and the idea came up pretty simple. It was just some cool keys, drum patterns, and we started putting down vocal ideas and lyric ideas. And throughout the month we added to it and Hit-Boy came in and sprinkled all these different sounds and layers to it and made it come together fully." "We created that vibe together. It plays a key part in the record because I think it's at a vital point in the record. It's all these different emotions and different sounds and different layers."
