In which Beyoncé album is the song “Formation” featured?

The story behind the answer

“Formation” is featured on Beyoncé’s album Lemonade.

Beyoncé released “Formation” as a single in February 2016, and it later appeared on Lemonade, released in April of that year. The song addresses Black identity, Southern culture, family history, and resilience, while its video includes imagery connected with New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina.

Lemonade is both a visual album and a conventional audio album. Its film combines music with poetry and visual storytelling, and the project moves through themes commonly described as intuition, denial, anger, apathy, emptiness, accountability, hope, and redemption.

The album includes songs such as “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” “Daddy Lessons,” and “All Night.” “Formation” is sometimes associated only with its standalone release, but it is also the opening track of Lemonade’s audio sequence.
