"Hold Up" was highly acclaimed by critics, who complimented Beyoncé's vocal performance as well as the lyrics and production. A demo of "Hold Up" – a simple track containing just a chorus – was first written and recorded by Diplo and Koenig in 2014. Koenig, the frontman of the indie rock band Vampire Weekend, was interested in Diplo's take on the opening of "Can't Get Used to Losing You" by Andy Williams and wrote a hook around it. The lyrics include an interpolation of the chorus of "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs that Koenig had tweeted three years prior.
At the beginning of the first verse, we see that Beyoncé indeed has circumstantial evidence that her man has been cheating. She also concludes that she is going to beat up the woman up whom he has been dealing with. She concludes the verse by questioning, in a roundabout way, what is it exactly that made him lose interest in her while alluding to the fact that that whole situation is having a maddening effect on her mind state. The montage ended as Beyonce rose out of the floor, still sporting her sun ray inspired crown. Last month the cover girl revealed she is pregnant with twins as she shared a stunning photo of her belly while sitting in an explosion of flowers.

A Jay-Z guest slot, blasting brass and a distinct old-school funk feel, but Déjà Vu is more than just Crazy in Love 2.0. There’s an argument that, while less hooky, it’s a melodically stronger song than its more famous sibling, and the intro, where Beyoncé gradually introduces each instrument over an urgent bassline, is spectacularly exciting.

As the argument escalates, the girl holds her head and ears, crying. Beyoncé’s hushed voiceover asks, “Mother Dearest, did he bend your reflection? ” In this sequence, men, specifically fathers, are both loving and unpredictable, and potentially violent.

However, the leggings and bra featured above are actually from Beyoncé’s own athleisure line, Ivy Park, that just launched at Topshop. This anthem is sickly sweet with an underlying edge, and the fashion from its video is spectacular. That yellow ruffled Roberto Cavalli is what dreams are made of. These dresses, both under $100, are great way to snag the look on a dime. For starters, Brooks borrowed her mom’s yellow top to recreate the dress from “Hold Up,” complete with a baseball bat. Hey guys been sitting on this little project for awhile so thought it was about time I shared with you all.
From the music, to the special effects, to the fashion, there’s so much to take in. “Don’t Hurt Yourself” features Beyonce wearing the ultimate athletic-meets-glam ensemble. In the video, Beyonce wears a bra top and leggings from Kanye West’s fashion line, Yeezy.
"Hold Up" was performed at Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance, reimagined with a marching band to pay homage to historically black colleges and universities. Ultimately, Hooks saw a poor assertion of feminism, but she misses that feminism acts within the system of patriarchal domination. Beyoncé, though a performer, took us through her journey of healing.
But something about that song resonated and managed to stand the test of time. That’s just awesome — to complete something and send it to sail out to the world. He was having a meeting with them and played her some of my stuff and I guess she really loved it. With “Hold Up” they just sent me the beat and the hook. I wrote that first verse and the ‘jealous and crazy’ part.
