The principle narrative of Lemonade concerns the breakdown and reconciliation of Beyoncé's marriage to Jay-Z. However, she also touches on the experience of black womanhood throughout the album. This soulful, motivational track is an anthem dedicated to African-American females.
Beyoncé enlisted Kendrick Lamar for this redemption song, the first collaboration between the two stars. The Compton rapper similarly brings women to the forefront in his verse, but also touches on his favored theme of institutionalized racism.
Just Blaze co-produced the track. A frequent Jay-Z collaborator, he worked on the albums The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2, and The Black Album. Beyonce's recruitment of her husband's frequent collaborator signifies that this is Lemonade's redemption song, following the anger vented on her cheating spouse during the first half of the album.
