Beyonce - Donk
from In The Groove · host Marcus Mwangi
Beyoncé's track 'Donk' is an infectious, playful tune recorded with Pharrell Williams and The-Dream during the sessions for her 2013 self-titled album but didn’t make the final cut. With cheeky lyrics like 'As we sip champagne, watchin' Purple Rain,' the song captures a carefree vibe, mixing R&B with a club-ready beat. The pre-chorus, 'Girls don't dance no more, all they do is this,' nods to the shift in dance floor energy, while the chorus, 'Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk,' is catchy and fun, designed to get stuck in your head. Even though it’s not a game-changer, 'Donk' delivers a fun, flirty energy that makes it a standout hidden gem from Beyoncé’s vault. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
