Discover the full story behind every single song Beyoncé has ever released.

From Destiny's Child to Cowboy Carter, this is the definitive guide to one of music's greatest ever talents, covering hundreds of songs including:

  • hit singles
  • hidden gems
  • soundtracks
  • cover versions
  • deep cuts

...and much more besides.

Award-winning music writer Annie Zaleski (Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Guardian) explores and explains the fascinating details of every song, from early group hit 'Say My Name' to solo work such as 'Crazy In Love' and 'Run The World (Girls)'—and including the all-conquering Cowboy Carter.

A journey through pop, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and even country, this is Beyoncé's story told through her incredible music.
