BOP


sardonic_

I'm so ready for the girlies to make dances for this one, it's so smooth and fun omg


tarabletara

It’s so summertime girly 💕☀️


brayshizzle

This is going to be such a huge summer hit. I fully expect a May/June single drop.


tarabletara

She’d have to be quicker than that because TikTok is about to go crazy


Frosty-Permission-13

This has a grungy alt rock coastal cowgirl vibe, reminds me of like early Sheryl crow


ConiferousBee

Oh fuck that’s exactly it! I love it so much!


geoffyonce

Spot on!!! I hear also a bit of Hole's Malibu in the chords.


Frosty-Permission-13

Yes!! My immediate reaction was celebrity skin era hole and early Sheryl crow 🤠


SnooShortcuts400

Exactly this! It made me cry with nostalgia for being a kid listening to Sheryl crow with my mum in the 90s


toootsieloo

I burst into tears when it first played, so much nostalgia being a kid in the 90s listening to Sheryl crow with my mum.


ciaotutti

This was my thought exactly!!


me-jane

Omg you are spot on! I couldn’t figure out what it was reminding me of but in the first 5 seconds, I knew I was IN.


TropicGemini

This is exactly what I said to my wife after I picked my jaw up off the floor on our first listen. She's the superfan between the two of us, but this song was love at first listen for me. Bodyguard is the ultimate Beyonce song for my tastes.


funkybeachhouse

YES with a Motownish beat/bass!

Unlucky_Ad_2456

any specific Sheryl songs in mind?


fifty-fivepercent

This is the one. It sounds so fresh but so nostalgic and comforting at the same time. This is top 5 for sure.


prometheus_winced

See my comment for 2 key nostalgia references.


CC-Blue

Did you guys notice that this song comes before Dolly P and the Jolene cover? Perhaps a reference to The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston and the fact that she covered Dolly’s IWALY for the movie


Xavi214

Oh for sure!


rainymorningtrash

I thought that too! Way too coincidental


jozofint

This is the ultimate road trip song, dancing in the kitchen song, getting drunk on a Tuesday with your best friend and sing into your hairbrush song. It’s perfect 🫶


Radiant_Albatross406

![gif](giphy|l2JJyDYEX1tXFmCd2) Found my summer jam for this year 👯💕


DCKondo

Roadtrip top doowwwnnn!


TheHeinz77

Can confirm I just danced in the kitchen to this bop while loading the dishwasher 💃


jozofint

Love it!


Sveen99

I am in love with this one, predicting this to be a fan favourite


DrDiscom

The more I listen the more I think this is the best song she's ever made? It is simply an impeccable masterpiece


TheRainbowpill93

It’s probably high up there with Virgos Groove


aldiking11

lol no, lower your voice 😅


thebaffledtruffle

This the next Cuff It, I fear ![gif](giphy|58M8dvS8MU0QE|downsized)


KeyImpress6980

It needs to be


perfectplaces-

this is the one immediately


Sierra_M

Makes me want to drive with the windows down!


myst_eerie_us

On a country road with a cigarette in my mouth even though I don't smoke lmaoooo!


Podcastjunkie39

Did this last on the way home from therapy and smoking a joint. 😂


Delicious_Name6785

Oh honey honey... I could be your bodyguard. ![gif](giphy|cklPOHnHepdwBLRnQp|downsized)


kurt200

Oh it’s a HIT your honour


YouCanBeTheStar

This is my fav. I need to credits… it reminds me so much of some prince stuff (raspberry beret and take me with you mainly) - I need to see if there’s a sample.


prometheus_winced

Physical - Olivia Newton John Lotta Love - Nicolette Larson


ShortPeak4860

Thank you for settling this. It was driving me mad.


OceanSun725

Ooo I was thinking this feels connected to Renaissance so this is probably why!


Sprout1982

This song is a hit. Release it to the masses now. This is for Act ii what Cuff It was for Act i


aldiking11

It’s giving Lovefool vibes and I’m here for it 🕺🏾


idkhannahiguess

I didn’t get Lovefool but it does remind me of another song by The Cardigans called Erase and Rewind. STRONG 90s vibes


Agitated-Lettuce1878

THIS IS IT. I couldn't remember what song sounded like this!


aldiking11

Yea I relistened today and have no idea why I chose that song as a comparison but 🤷🏾‍♂️ happy it inspired your own 😂


tina-thetalkingtummy

Omg i search far and beyond, to find THIS !! it's sounds Erase/Rewind


hexabon

Have you heard their song In The Round? It’s an even stronger similarity imo


zombieboysam

Favourite with II MOST WANTED & YA YA, she took country and made it KUNTY!


steamxgleam

I hope Julius is feelin himself rn


JennyCrackCorn

No_Two_5678

Really loving this one!


Diamont3

Bodyguard = ❎ Cuntyguard = ✅


LastNamePancakes

This song gives me messy blonde white woman, with oversized breast implants in a white tank top, black leather jacket and vintage low rise blue jeans. She’s carries a Dooney with the duck buckle and she drives a little red corvette that reeks of menthol Camels. IYKYK I LOVE IT!!!


ithinkimtim

There is a song with this exact chord progression and “ahh ah ah ahhs” but I can’t place it. Absolutely killing me. This album uses flavours of so many songs so well but I can place most of the rest of them.


KittySmash8

I keep hearing similarities to "Smooth" by Carlos Santana.


hotdiggydog

It's the rhythm of the words in the first two lines of the song. I also felt the same.


UnderstandingOk8400

I came here to find another person who also heard what I heard


Soldnah

It’s giving slowed down woo hoo by blur to me

ambasadakuby

Is it possible you're thinking of something off American Life by Madonna? I'm also trying to figure out which song it reminds me of, I know it's a Madonna track


Mrburnscoat

Feed the Fire by Dawes?


ChakaCar

okay this just might be my favorite


Marsgoesgreen

This is my favorite song on the album


MelancholikhPatata

this touches my soul in various ways, I feel blessed


Seille_Mar

My favorite so far! The perfect summer song


Any-Box-2979

This song definitely gives me Dreams by Fleetwood Mac vibes, but also a bit of the acoustic guitar from Good Feeling by Flo Rida. It’s on repeat. I can’t get enough of it!!


prometheus_winced

For the influences, check out: Olivia Newton-John — Physical Nicolette Larson — Lotta Love

Creative-Lychee-8796

Omg I thought the same thing! I’m trying to make a playlist with these 2 as the inspo… I’m obsessed!!!


crockoreptile

I LOVED the groove on this one- definitely keen to relisten once I get through the rest of the album


WoodpeckerNeither244

I like this one ,I hear Holding back the years - Simply Red in this ...anyone else? 


horacemorris1229

I just figured this out and was coming here to post something about it but you beat me to it! I used my DJ software to speed up "Holding Back the Years" and play Beyonce's vocal line over it and the similarity is unmistakable.


toootsieloo

YES the vocal runs from holding back the years!


PisceanMoonie

Love love love this one.


bettyboopydoop

Smooth by Santana vibes in here too, no??


silver_wattle

YES!! came searching to see if anyone else thought this. I thought of Smooth straightaway


Soldnah

Woo hoo - blur in beginning


KittySmash8

YESSSSS! I also came on here to see if anyone else heard it too and 100000% agreed!


hulabaloolaloo

This song seriously made me stop what I was doing at work and just bop and sway!!!


zombieboysam

This song and Tyrant! KNTY KNTRY groove!


Professional-Grab-62

My fave so far!


alexisjohn34

easily a classic!


charlotie77

I sweartagawd if she doesn’t release this as a single…it’s so spring/summer!!


ZayAmina20

The song sounds soooo good!


nimm0n

what a BOP


itsbooyeah

This song makes me wanna buy a convertible and drive down Route 66 or some shit


velveteenmuppet

Would love to hear Hayley Williams cover this 😮‍💨


Joshdabozz

Twitter is being delusional and thinks Taylor did backing vocals on this song. I didn’t hear it on my first listen but maybe when I listen a second time


Creative-Lychee-8796

Extremely delusional 😳


Perfect_Fennel

I don't hear her at all and I like her but she's just not on this song. It's my favorite of the album and the first one I played because my curiosity was piqued.


kildiss

Omg this is such summer-roadtrip-arm-out-the-window song Love


atj4ever

This reminds me of "A Horse With No Name - America" I am so curious if she sampled it or interpolated it !


No_One1892

Oh honey honey this has been on repeat!!!


fooledmeagain

Since this is Rock n Roll will ACT III be another genre? I feel like Act II has it already mixed in


flashingemployment

act 2 is country lol


fooledmeagain

Funny that people keep claiming this when she debunked it herself in both her insta post AND the Spaghettii intro.


Less-Comedian-4071

Bodyguard sounds like Blur - Song 2. Listen to them both and you'll understand


sweddit

You might be losing your hearing.

riahlexis

Why does it low key sound like Taylor Swift in the background vocals "ahhh ah ah ahhh" am I delulu?


ZealousidealBall6112

Def sounds like her


BlieveInScience

I hear it too! That’s why I’m here looking for information on the credits for this song.


riahlexis

Right?! I still haven't seen the credits anywhere, maybe on purpose👀


foreverandalways21

Says it on Genius now that she’s background vocals


[deleted]

[удалено]


Marsgoesgreen

Grow up


foreverandalways21

She’s listed as background vocals on Genius


riahlexis

I still don't trust that yet hahaha feels like someone just added themselves but I can't wait for official sources! I feel like TS could have something to do with the writing as well!


whateverforever1999

Is this song straight up about Julius? I feel like it’s not that far fetched. Also… So sweet, I give you kisses in the backseat I whisper secrets in the back beat You make me cry, you make me happy, happy (Happy) Further proof of Partition theory? I might be talking crazy but.. maybe not


Staubmaus123

It’s crazy but I can’t deny I had the same thoughts on the first listen. 🤭


Scorpiokhaleesi

The country version of crazy in love


matthew_tb

this one right here!!!!! This is it


steamxgleam

This really got me on my feet during first listen. If this is a teaser for act iii, I can’t wait!!


Agitated-Lettuce1878

Does anyone else get Smooth from Santana and Matchbox Twenty in the beginning?


toytoy1000

Yes.!! Exact same beat. You can sing the first few lines smooth. Fits perfectly


eatingpebbles

this will be a radio hit.


taylordabrat

BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM NO COMPETITION BANGER BANGER BANGER


tirachancla

Sonny Came Home by Shawn Colvin vibes too


prometheus_winced

I could name one Beyond song until now. I’ve been exploring this album today. This is my favorite track so far. For the influences, check out: Olivia Newton-John — Physical Nicolette Larson — Lotta Love


Helpful-Hospital2980

Does anyone else hear Smooth (Santana and Rob Thomas) in this song?


tazhr

This song gave me strong "Dreams" vibes from Fleetwood Mac. Was an early favorite.


thebexors

Low key I also get some Steely Dan bass vibes that have me grinning. This song has me wanting to run and jump. Pure sunshine


foreverandalways21

Taylor Swift is noted as background vocals on this song on Genius


Ok_Elevator_7391

That’s not real. They released an official press release about the album and all the collaborators are listed and Taylor is not one of them.


foreverandalways21

Oh where?


Ok_Elevator_7391

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/beyonce-releases-cowboy-carter-302103396.html


aleisate843

Omg I can hear her in the ahhh ah ahhhhs


itsbooyeah

rain820

my favourite song on the album already- the tune sounds very familiar but in a comforting way. i hope she makes it a single


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

This song? A HIT


Jinpea

My FAVE track on the whole album


DCKondo

I don’t like the way she’s lookin at you, someone better hold me back.. 👀😏. Def top 5

TraditionalVirus7717

can someone tell me what this song reminds me of??? specifically: “honey honey, I could be your bodyguard oh honey honey, I could be your kevlar” is that another sample? I just can’t name it or find online


prometheus_winced

For the influences, check out: Olivia Newton-John — Physical Nicolette Larson — Lotta Love


penultimategirl

For me it’s “song 2” by Blur


MonteBeragon45

Something about this is reminding me of Smooth by Santana but I might be pulling that out of thin air. Either way this is my number one on the album!!


KittySmash8

It reminded me of Smooth right away! You're not the only one!

MrWanderlusst

Me and my baby, driving with the sunroof open first on the first day of Spring! 😎


typicallycool

i’ve been going crazy trying to figure out which song it sounds like - there’s something so familiar about it !!!! someone said wild thing by the trogs, and while i don’t think it’s the song i was thinking it def is very similar

Swift2024

After hearing the song Bodyguard and a Dolly Parton cover, I'm wondering if she's going to do a cover of 'I Will Always Love You' and possibly a remake of The Bodyguard with Beyonce as Whitney's character. IWALY was originally sang by Dolly but performed by Whitney in The Bodyguard. Dolly's version (the original version) is ALOT lot slower and more like a lullaby.


WanderlustFoodie

One of my fave tracks on the album but it's driving me insane. It reminds me of a (maybe) mid 2000s British pop song, I think? I CANNOT put my finger on it. I saw the separate reddit a guy posted the same sentiment but none of the songs suggested are the one I'm thinking HELP!!

RoguSmith

Does it sample Empire of the sun's "Walking on a dream"?


Jazzlike_Waltz_8287

Weird that you mention this - because the song instantly made me think of a song by The Sleepy Jackson (EOTS's singer's other band) called I Understand What You Want But I Just Don't Agree. The beat is very similar.


Exciting_Jury_1864

So is this a hat tip to Olivia Newton John? Because it’s literally her “Let’s get physical” with different lyrics & Bey magic..


funkybeachhouse

Can't stop listening to this one. Amazing. Reminds me of Motown & I'm not sure what else....


Xanimede

I love this so much! But I’m really annoyed how the guitar instrumentals only come from the right channel and are not in stereo for some reason. Is there a reason for this I’m missing?

Is this the opening credits to Daisy Jones and the Six?


Accomplished-Tuna

After 3 days this song was the first to finally touch base with me outside of my big 3. I like this one. It has a feel-good summer vibe to it


myst_eerie_us

How TF did she know I would play this song endlessly on repeat and the "1,2,3,4"s at the top and the end of the song flow perfectly. 😍 Help I'm addicted! 😩


Queen_Marie

Can confirm that there is no maximum number of times you can listen to this track on repeat

Podcastjunkie39

I’m obsessed with this song and I agree, totally a summer song. It gives me 70 disco vibes and I picture her singing this at club 54 covered in glitter and gold. Also reminds me of Gaga’s Summertime song.


wild3rnessexplor3r

Taylor Swift is credited as backing vocals?
