Blackbird song meaning and lyrics as Beyoncé covers Beatles hit

Beyoncé's new Country-inspired album Act II: Cowboy Carter features a surprising cover of The Beatles classic Blackbird.

As well as the Paul McCartney-penned track, the album also features a reworked cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene and includes duets with Miley Cyrus, Post Malone while Country legends Parton and Willie Nelson add their voices to spoken-word sections. Beyonce, 42, released her new album, following 2022's Grammy-winning album Renaissance, which marked Act I of the trilogy, on Friday.

Speaking about the 27-track album's origin, the singer revealed it was born from an experience where she "did not feel welcome", which inspired her to do a "deeper dive" into the history of Country music.

The 32-time Grammy award winner wrote: "This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed... and it was very clear that I wasn't.

"But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.

"It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history."
