Beyonce drops ‘Morning Dew (Donk)’ amid album rumors

The wait may finally be over.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter seems to be giving fans just what they’ve been asking for: new music.

The Grammy-winning singer’s Parkwood Entertainment company announced a new single titled “Morning Dew (Donk)” via Instagram on Saturday, July 4. The track blends smooth R&B vocals with contemporary pop production and is now available on all streaming platforms.

Written by Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, The Dream, and Darius Dixon, just to name a few, the surprise drop is said to kickstart a 60-day countdown to her birthday on Sept. 4, which is also the 20th anniversary of her second studio album released on Sept. 4, 2006, “B’Day.” The new song will reportedly be included on a 20th anniversary edition of “B’Day.”

Of course, fans have been anticipating Beyoncé’s next move and any updates regarding her still unannounced Act III album.

In July 2022, Beyoncé released her seventh studio album “Renaissance.” The project earned her four Grammys, including best dance/electronic music album, and made her the most decorated artist in the awards’ history. She later announced that album was the first part of a three-act project, making “Cowboy Carter” the second act.

After releasing albums across genres, both country and dance music, there has been growing speculation that the last project in the trilogy could be a rock album. Beyoncé only fueled this idea by dressing as funk-rock diva Betty Davis for Halloween. Plus, an ad for her August 2025 Levi’s jeans collection fanned the flames of speculation when she swapped out her horse for a motorcycle.

So far, Beyoncé has not released any additional information about the new song or an upcoming project.

However, it’s safe to say fans should expect the unexpected.
