Which Beyoncé album contains the single “Formation”?

Lemonade contains Beyoncé’s single “Formation.”

Released in 2016, Lemonade is Beyoncé’s sixth solo studio album. It was accompanied by a one-hour film broadcast on HBO, but the album itself is a distinct musical release. Its songs move across R&B, rock, soul, hip-hop, country, and electronic styles.

“Formation” was released shortly before the album and became one of its defining tracks. The song and video reference Black identity, Southern culture, Hurricane Katrina, and police violence. Its visual imagery and lyrics prompted extensive discussion about race, history, and representation in the United States.

Lemonade also includes songs such as “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “All Night.” It is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s earlier self-titled visual album because both projects combine music with strong visual storytelling. Lemonade, however, is the album associated with “Formation” and its 2016 release.
