- August 6, 2026
AceShowbiz - Beyoncé has dropped a fresh remix of her B’Day-era track "Morning Dew (Donk)" featuring a new verse from Shawn Corey Carter. The remix was released on August 5, 2026, ahead of the 20-year anniversary re-release of B’Day scheduled for September.
The updated version includes an interpolation of Sheck Wes’ "Mo Bamba," along with samples from Soulja Boy’s "Donk" and the Isley Brothers’ "Between the Sheets." The original track was produced by Pharrell Williams, but this new remix adds a modern twist with Jaÿ-Z’s contribution.
Originally released in September 2006, B’Day featured several fan favorites such as "Déjà Vu," "Ring the Alarm," "Irreplaceable," and "Upgrade U." Notably, "Déjà Vu" peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, while "Ring the Alarm" debuted as Beyoncé’s highest-charting single at the time, reaching No. 11 and ending her streak of top-ten hits.
This surprise drop has also sparked renewed speculation about Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Act III in her trilogy. Fans have been theorizing for months about the next chapter following 2022’s Renaissance (Act I), which celebrated dance and house music, and 2024’s Cowboy Carter (Act II), which explored country influences.
Rumors continue to suggest that Act III may incorporate rock elements, with some fans even speculating it could be a full collaborative project with Jaÿ-Z. While nothing has been officially confirmed, anticipation remains high in the music community.
Listeners can now stream the new "Morning Dew (Donk)" remix featuring Jaÿ-Z as part of the ongoing celebration of Beyoncé’s iconic album anniversary.
