The Beyoncé album that includes “Daddy Lessons” and was released in 2016 is Lemonade.
“Daddy Lessons” appears on Lemonade, Beyoncé’s sixth studio album and visual album. The song uses country and Southern musical elements, including prominent guitar and brass, while reflecting on the relationship between a daughter and her father. Its style helped broaden discussion of Black artists’ connections to country music.
Beyoncé performed “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks at the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards in 2016. That performance brought the song into a major country-music setting and highlighted its musical relationship with the group’s repertoire.
The song is sometimes associated with Beyoncé’s later country-focused album Cowboy Carter because of its country influences. However, “Daddy Lessons” predates that project by eight years and belongs to Lemonade. This distinction makes the release year and album title especially useful clues.
