Beyoncé Unveils Unexpected Single “Morning Dew (Donk)” Amid Act III Speculation.
In terms of new music, Beyoncé is raising the bar. When the Grammy winner dropped her first song in two years, "Morning Dew (Donk)," on July 4, the BeyHive went crazy.
According to Parkwood Entertainment, the soulful track—penned by Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, The-Dream, and Darius Dixon—kicks off a 60-day countdown to Beyoncé's 45th birthday on September 4 and heralds the re-release of her 2006 album, B'DAY.
According to the statement, the song is "a direct nod to her loyal BeyHive to commemorate the upcoming epic celebration of B'DAY." “The song, which will be included on the 20th Anniversary edition of B'DAY, arrives accompanied by a lyric video that repurposes old footage, directed by frequent collaborator, Cliff Watts.”
B'Day was released internationally on September 4, 2006, and in the United States on September 5, 2006. In its first week in the U.S., the album sold approximately 541,196 copies, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Beyoncé's fans have been closely monitoring the release date of her much anticipated act III album, even though "Morning Dew (Donk)" is confirmed to celebrate one of her most legendary phases.
Yvette Noel-Schure, the representative for the "Halo" singer, reportedly dispelled a fan rumor that the third and last act in her musical trilogy, which already includes Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, will be released this summer.
"This is unequivocally false!!!" she wrote in response to a post on X professing to have the inside scoop on the new songs.
However, the notion that the record, which was said to have been influenced by classic rock 'n' roll, was ready for release captivated audiences.
“The album is 100% complete, only vinyl pressings remain, expected to be finished before June 2026, showing a summer release,” on April 27, the fan account added that the album will include “two big features.”
Beyoncé, the mother of 9-year-old twins Rumi and Sir and 14-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay-Z, has already discussed the significance of her legendary three-part project, but she has not yet disclosed any information about act III.
“This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic,” in 2022, she sent a note on her digital platform. “A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.”
