Cowboy Carter (also known as act ii: Cowboy Carter or ACT II: BEYINCÉ on limited edition pressings) is the eighth studio album by American singer Beyoncé, released on March 29, 2024. It is the second installment of her three-act project which began with Renaissance released July of 2022.The album was first teased on February 11, 2024 during Super Bowl LVIII with her "Can't B Broken" commercial created in partnership with Verizon. That same night, the lead singles "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" and "16 CARRIAGES" were released. The singles were a noticeable departure from much of the singer's past work, seeing Beyoncé embrace Country Music for the first time since "Daddy Lessons" from 2016's Lemonade.In a message commemorating the ten-day countdown ahead of the album's release, Beyoncé explains that Cowboy Carter was born from an experience where she was made to feel uncomfortable. The experience in question was the backlash the singer received for her performance of "Daddy Lessons" at the 2016 Country Music Awards with The Chicks. Many country fans felt that the singer "did not belong" at the ceremony because she wasn't a primarly country artist; for others, their reasoning for her not belonging was because she was Black. The country music industry is notoriously difficult for Black artists to break into. The backlash inspired Beyoncé to research the origins of country music, leading to the creation of Cowboy Carter. | |

Special Guest | |
| Cowboy Carter (Music) / int_2719ab04 | comment |
Special Guest: Beyoncé's daughter Rumi is featured for her spoken lines on "PROTECTOR." Linda Martell, the first commercially successful Black woman in Country music, appears on "SPAGHETII" where she explains that genres can sometimes be constraining; and "THE LINDA MARTELL SHOW" (named in her honor) where she prepares the listeners for the musical journey that is "YA YA." Willie Nelson serves as the KNTRY Radio Texas host during the "SMOKE HOUR" interludes. Dolly Parton leaves Beyoncé a message "DOLLY P" serving as the prelude to her cover of Parton's own classic song. She appears again on "TYRANT," spurring Cowboy Carter to begin the song. | |

| Cowboy Carter (Music) / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: The singer in the original version of "Jolene" is pleading with the titular beauty to not come between her and her man. In Beyoncé's version, the singer is warning Jolene of violence that might come to her if she tries to break up the singer's marriage. | |

Sampling | |
| Cowboy Carter (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: Just like its predecessor, Cowboy Carter uses a plethora of samples and interpolations: "DAUGHTER" interpolates the aria "Caro Mio Ben." "SPAGHETTII" samples "Aquecimento – Vem Vem Vai Vai" by Dedé Mandrake. "II MOST WANTED" interpolates "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. "YA YA" samples "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra and interpolates "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys. "OH LOUISIANA" samples Chuck Berry's song of the same name. "II HANDS II HEAVEN" samples "Born Slippy Nuxx" by Underworld. | |

Crocodile Tears | |

ALLIIGATOR TEARS: Lampshaded. Beyoncé explains to her lover that he doesn't have to resort to using his tears to move her because she'll always do whatever's necessary to please him. The song's title uses "alligator" instead of "crocodile" because the latter isn't native to the U.S. but the former is. | |

Genre Mashup: The album is built around the reclamation of Country as a genre with Black roots, but it also incorporates a plethora of other genres: Gospel, Folk, Rock & Roll, Southern Rap, Funk, and Jersey club. As Beyoncé herself explained, Cowboy Carter isn't a country album, it's a Beyoncé album. On "SPAGHETTII," Linda Martell says this: | |
