Beyoncé recorded this celebratory toast to the good life for the especially curated The Lion King accompaniment project The Gift. The song finds Beyoncé at her most self-assured. I am Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter I am the Nala, sister of Yoruba Osun, Queen Sheba, I am the mother Ankh on my gold chain, ice on my whole chain I be like soul food, I am a whole mood Queen Bey never stops shining and will be in this mood forever.
Beyoncé is joined on the track by her husband and frequent collaborator Jay-Z. Hova references other music royalty on his braggadocious verse, proclaiming that he feels like Prince in '84, Mike in '79, Biggie in '97, and Nas in '94. Jay also compares himself to African greats Nelson Mandela and Fela Kuti, keeping with the theme of the Lion King project.
Childish Gambino, who voices Simba in the movie, delivers the bridge. Under his real name, Donald Glover, Gambino also released a cover of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" with Beyoncé. That track features in The Lion King remake and its official soundtrack.
