"'Forward'" is a song recorded by American singer Beyonc for her sixth studio album, 'Lemonade' (2016). It was written by James Blake and Beyonc, who is also featured in the song. The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, originally aired on HBO.

Upon release of the album, "Forward" charted in the United States, United Kingdom and Scotland. The song was Beyonc's 54th entry on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, peaking at 63.

Writing and recording



The song was written by James Blake, who is also the producer and featured artist, with additional collaboration from Beyonc. In an interview for 'The Guardian', he revealed that Beyonc had brought her four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy to hear him working. Every time Blake sang the song's hook, Blue Ivy sang: "Forward!" "That's how you know it's catchy," said Beyonc. The song was recorded at the Conway Studios in Los Angeles, California. The instrumentalization consists of voice and piano, played by Blake.
