Summer Renaissance

"**Summer Renaissance**" (estilizado en mayúsculas) es la decimo sexta pista del álbum *Renaissance* de Beyoncé, lanzado el 29 de julio de 2022. Un tributo a la fallecida cantante estadounidense Donna Summer, la canción cierra al álbum ya mencionado, y contiene elementos e interpola la canción de 1977 "I Feel Love", interpretada por Summer, y escrita por Summer, Giorgio Moroder y Pete Bellotte.

Beyoncé *sampleó* previamente la música de Donna Summer con "Naughty Girl" de *Dangerously in Love* (2003) que contiene elementos de la canción de Summer de 1975 "Love to Love You Baby". Donna Summer elogió a Beyoncé durante una entrevista: "Es una compositora talentosa y dotada [...] y creo que se merece todo lo que tiene". Beyoncé emitió una declaración sobre el impacto de Summer en la música después de la muerte de esta última en 2012.

## Composición

"Summer Renaissance" extrae elementos y contiene una interpolación deconstruida de la canción de 1977 "I Feel Love", interpretada por Donna Summer. Es una canción disco, con contenido lírico ambientado en la pista de baile.

La letra de "Summer Renaissance" habla del amor de una manera "apasionada". Comienza con Beyoncé diciendo: "Quiero albergarte y hacer que tomes mi nombre", que está dirigido al marido de la cantante, el rapero estadounidense Jay-Z. Luego hace referencia a su tatuaje en el dedo anular a juego con el de Jay-Z, diciendo: "Voy a casarte contigo y hacerte tatuarte el anillo". Beyoncé canta "it's so good" en el estribillo de la canción, canalizando la voz de Donna Summer. Alyssa Lapid de *Bustle* interpretó que la letra del coro tenía un doble significado: "la letra es obscena [...] también podría significar que después de seis años de reparar su matrimonio, [Beyoncé] y [Jay-Z] finalmente se han asentado en un 'buen' lugar".

## Letra

I wanna house you and make you take my name

I'm gonna spouse you and make you tat your ring

I'm gonna take you all the way

Baby, can I take you all the way?

You sexy motherfucker, boy, you growin' on me

I just wanna thug you, the category is Bey

You gangster motherfucker, boy, you growin' on me

I just wanna touch you, I can feel it through those jeans

Ah-ah-ah-oh (Ooh)

Boy, you never have a chance

If you make my body talk, I'ma leave you in a trance

Got you walking with a limp, bet this body make you dance

Dance, dance, dance

Ooh, it's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good, it's so good

Ooh, it's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good, it's so good

(Ooh, it's so good, it's so good)

(It's so good, it's so good, it's so good)

I wanna crush you, I won't overanalyze

I'm gonna trust you even though we met tonight

But I'm gonna take you all the way

Baby, can I take you all the way?

You sexy motherfucker, boy, you growin' on me

I just wanna thug you, the category is Bey (You growin' on me)

You gangster motherfucker, boy, you growin' on me (You, you, you growin' on me)

Black silicone and rubbers, I can feel it through those jeans (Growin' on me, I)

I'm feeling way too loose to be tied down

Can you see my brain open wide now?

Come and get what I came for, hella night now

Know you love when I roleplay, who am I now?

I'm a doc, I'm a nurse, I'm a teacher

Dominate is the best way to beat ya

Sorry 'bout yesterday, now the sweet stuff

You a sweetie pie, come let me eat ya

(Fuck it up)

(Ooh)

Boy, you never have a chance

If you make my body talk, I'ma leave you in a trance

Got you walking with a limp, bet this body make you dance

Dance, dance, dance

Ooh, it's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good, it's so good

Ooh, it's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good, it's so good

Applause, a round of applause

Applause, a round of applause

Say I want, want, want, what I want, want, want

(I want, want, want what I want, want, want)

I want, want, want what I want, want, want

(I want, want, want what I want, want, want)

I want your touch, I want your feeling

(I want your touch, I want your feeling)

I want your love, I want your spirit

(I want your love, I want your spirit)

The more I want, the more I need it

(The more I want, the more I need it)

Need it

(Need it)

Versace, Bottega, Prada, Balenciaga

Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, collect your coins, Beyoncé

So elegant and raunchy, this haute couture I'm flaunting

This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them shits in storage

I'm in my bag

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh
