World Premiere: Naughty Boy [ft. Beyonce] - "Runnin' (Lose It All)" [Full Audio + Music Video]
Don't ask me how, but he's done it! British producer Naughty Boy - famous for his Twitter beefs with Louis Tomlinson of One Direction and for having produced the 2013 hit "La La La" featuring Sam Smith - premiered tonight (Sept. 18) a brand new single titled "Runnin' (Lose It All)", which features vocals by newcomer Arrow Benjamin and...*drum rolls*...the one and only Beyonce! Say what? Naughty Boy and the Queen of Everything working together? How the hell that happened? My scenarios: A) Naughty Boy has produced a song for Beyoncé's next album and she's just returning the favor or B) somehow she heard Naughty Boy's song, she loved it so much, and she ORDERED HIM to include her for the final edit. And this what you can hear below is the final edit, as an "early" version of "Runnin' (Lose It All)" leaked online last month only featuring Arrow Benjamin.
Naughty Boy's new single (available on iTunes now thanks to Virgin Records) - supposedly off his upcoming second studio album and follow-up to his 2013 debut "Hotel Cabana" - is a big ballad that eventually turns into a 'drum & bass'-ish uptempo where Beyonce (and also this Arrow Benjamin person) gets to show off her immense vocals as she sings about not fleeing the battlefield and always fight for victory (in a romantic sense). "We'll face it all / If I lose myself, I lose it all", sings Blue Ivy's mother in the chorus.
