The song has lost some of it's magic with me but the opening "hey's" are just too good. The second verse flows soo smoothly too ugh.
I started loving it even more after I discovered the opening "hey's" are actually looped through the whole song. They sound heavenly in the chorus. You can hear it clearly in the karaoke version.
It's never getting old to me. 2000 plays & counting.
Check that out, omg. Her lower register. The vocal layers. This song is honestly art in music form.
Thanks for reminding me of this. My twitter mutuals exposed me to this a couple of weeks ago I loove finding out the little production details of this entire album. AOTY for sure.
Why would anyone listen to someone whose music is as crass and unrefined as Beyonce's? You can hear through the production telling the beatmaker to she wants something that will make her fans go "yassss beyonce slay me".
