Lemonade is the sixth album by American singer Beyoncé. It was released on April 23, 2016, accompanied by a 65-minute film of the same name co-directed by the singer which premiered on HBO.Inspired by turbulent times in her marriage to Jay-Z, Lemonade continues many of the themes discussed on its predecessor Beyoncé (2013) (including marriage, motherhood, and racial inequality), and features guest spots by Jack White, The Weeknd, James Blake, and Kendrick Lamar.Led by the surprise release of "Formation" (and its subsequent performance at Super Bowl 50, which angered many people because of its political statement), Lemonade premiered on April 23, 2016 with a special 60-minute presentation airing on HBO, soon being made available for streaming and purchase afterward.

Woman Scorned: Many —if not all— of the tracks portray Beyonce in this light, to varying degrees. "Hold Up" and "Don't Hurt Yourself" play it up the most.

In the one hour visual special that came with Lemonade's release, Beyonce is seen singing "Hold Up" whilst smiling and skipping through the streets in a beautiful yellow gown until she takes a bat and proceeds to bust up everything in sight—cars, shop windows, fire hydrants, even the cameraman! All with a smile on her face. And that's only before she gets into the monster truck... uh-oh.

Symbolic Serene Submersion: The prologue to the "Hold Up" video takes place entirely underwater. Shots of Beyonce floating in her flooded apartment while delivering the opening monologue in voiceover represent her overwhelming emotions in response to being cheated on. The video proper begins with her pushing open the front doors, releasing the water, and walking out confidently.

Genre Roulette: Lemonade can mostly be classified under the umbrellas of R&B and Hip-Hop, but features tracks that dabble in other genres, like Country ("Daddy Lessons"), Alternative Rock ("Don't Hurt Yourself"), Reggae ("Hold Up", "All Night"), and Soul ("Pray You Catch Me", "Sandcastles", "Forward").

Sampling: "Hold Up" samples "Can't Get Used to Losing You" by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, and features interpolations of "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and "Turn My Swag On" by Soulja Boy. "Don't Hurt Yourself" samples "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin. "6 Inch" samples "Walk On By" by written by Isaac Hayes and features an interpolation of "My Girls" by Animal Collective. "Freedom" samples "Let Me Try" by performed by Kaleidoscope, "Collection Speech/Unidentified Lining Hymn" by by Reverend R.C. Crenshaw, and "Stewball" by Prisoner "22" at Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. "All Night" samples "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" by OutKast featuring Sleepy Brown. Lemonade itself samples "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson in one of the interstitial scenes. "Formation" samples, of all things, a "twang" sound from the Hanna-Barbera sound effect's library.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you look closely at her baseball bat in the "Hold Up" video, it's stamped with "Hot Sauce" on it, giving a whole new meaning to the "hot sauce in my bag" line in "Formation".

The segment for "Don't Hurt Yourself" in the Lemonade special shows Beyonce getting frighteningly angry as she sings about getting cheated on and warning her lover not to do it againnote whilst Beyonce hasn't even clarified who she's singing about, it's presumed that she's singing about her husband Jay-Z or her father, Matthew Knowles, coupled with a montage of Beyonce angrily confronting the camera, Beyonce in a white wedding dress glaring with a wall of fire behind her, and even throwing her wedding ring at the camera! And that's after she creepily recited a spoken word piece about what she's going to do to the woman Jay-Z cheated with. "Sorry" marked the beginning of her "Apathy" chapter in the Lemonade special and the song lyrics show Beyonce just really didn't give a damn, going as far as to tell her cheating lover to "suck on [her] balls" because "[she's] had enough".
