The duo previously worked together on the scorching “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” off Bey’s 2016 album, Lemonade. White also co-produced the raging track. “You know, I just talked to her and she said, ‘I wanna be in a band with you.’ I said, ‘Really? Well, I’d love to do something,’ ” White told NPR at the time about how the collaboration came to be. “I’ve always loved her voice — I mean, I think she has the kind of soul singing voice of the days of Betty Davis or Aretha Franklin.”

White continued, “She took just sort of a sketch of a lyrical outline and turned into the most bodacious, vicious, incredible song. I don’t even know what you’d classify it as — soul, rock and roll, whatever. ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ is incredibly intense; I’m so amazed at what she did with it.”
