Which Beyoncé song features Jack White as a guest vocalist and guitarist?

“Don’t Hurt Yourself” features Jack White as a guest vocalist and guitarist.

The song appears on Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade. It is built around a sample of “When the Levee Breaks,” originally recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929 and later famously recorded by Led Zeppelin. The recording also incorporates elements associated with Led Zeppelin’s version.

Jack White co-wrote and co-produced “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” contributed guitar, and provides additional vocals. His abrasive rock style gives the track a notably hard-edged sound compared with Beyoncé’s more traditional R&B performances. The song’s lyrics address anger, betrayal, self-worth, and emotional confrontation.

Listeners sometimes identify “Daddy Lessons” as Lemonade’s main rock or country crossover because of its prominent country instrumentation and later live performances with the Chicks. “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” however, is the Lemonade track directly associated with Jack White. The song was also included in the setlist for Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour in 2016.
