Beyoncé has commemorated the 10th anniversary of a hidden gem from her discography by bringing “Grown Woman” to streaming platforms.
Originally arriving on December 13, 2013 as part of Bey’s self-titled visual LP, “Grown Woman” was only made available as a bonus video and remained absent from any streaming platform, despite the song’s popularity among fans.
In late 2014, the Jake Nava-directed clip made its way to YouTube where it has lived and compiled over 145 million views.
Timbaland and J-Roc helm production duties of the uptempo Afrobeats single, while The-Dream is credited as a songwriter. It was also included as part of a Pepsi commercial and advertising campaign.
Beyoncé earned her fifth No. 1 album atop the Billboard 200 with the 2013 self-titled LP which sold 617,213 album units despite only having three days of tracking thanks to a mid-week release.
“My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection,” she said of the project’s meaning. “I had this image of a trophy and me accepting these awards, and kinda training myself to be this champion, and at the end of the day, when you go through all of these things, is it worth it?”
