Lemonade is the Beyoncé album centered on infidelity, identity, and healing that won the 2017 Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
Released on April 23, 2016, Lemonade was presented as both a studio album and a film. Its songs move through emotional stages including intuition, anger, forgiveness, hope, and redemption, while also addressing Black womanhood, family history, and cultural identity.
The album includes “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “Daddy Lessons.” Its visual film premiered on HBO, and the project received widespread critical acclaim. Lemonade earned nine Grammy nominations and won two awards at the 59th ceremony, although it did not win Album of the Year.
