Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade includes “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up.”
Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, alongside a 65-minute film broadcast on HBO. The album contains 12 tracks and moves through themes commonly described using stages such as intuition, denial, anger, apathy, emptiness, accountability, hope, and redemption. Its music spans R&B, rock, country, blues, pop, and hip-hop.
“Formation” became the album’s defining cultural statement, while “Sorry” and “Hold Up” became major singles and widely discussed visual moments. The album’s film uses poetry, imagery, and stories of Black womanhood, family, history, and resilience to connect the songs into a larger narrative.
Lemonade debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It received nine Grammy nominations and won Best Urban Contemporary Album. The album is sometimes confused with Beyoncé, her 2013 self-titled visual album, but Lemonade is the project containing the three songs named in this question.
