Beyoncé releases the long-unreleased song “Morning Dew (Donk)” as a surprise for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The track appears on streaming services and is presented as the start of a promotional countdown toward two related events. Multiple outlets report that the release begins a 60-day countdown to September 4, 2026.
That date is tied to the 20th anniversary reissue of Beyoncé’s 2006 album “B’Day,” originally released on September 4, 2006, when Beyoncé was 25. The forthcoming 20th anniversary edition is expected to include the new song. Reports also say “Morning Dew (Donk)” was conceived during the era of “B’Day,” and is described as a slow-groove track.
Credits cited by outlets include writers Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, The-Dream, and Darius Dixon, with production credited to Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams. Several sources frame the timing as a gift to fans ahead of the album reissue and the anniversary date.
