Beyoncé Releases Remastered 'B'Day' 20th‑Anniversary Deluxe Edition

The 31‑track collection pairs restored 4K visuals with unreleased vault songs and Spanish‑language recordings to broaden the album's cultural reach.

Overview

  • Beyoncé released the remastered edition on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, expanding B'Day into a 31‑track digital deluxe and offering physical formats that include a limited 4LP Bayou Blue vinyl with a 60‑page commemorative booklet.
  • The set adds previously unreleased vault tracks such as 'Can I Watch You' produced with Pharrell, 'My First Time,' 'Lost Yo Mind,' 'Creole' and multiple new mixes and B‑sides.
  • The anniversary edition foregrounds a Latin emphasis with a first‑time collaboration with Maluma on 'Cuerpo Tumbao (Get Me Bodied),' a sample of Celia Cruz's 'La Negra Tiene Tumbao,' and a Spanish version of 'Irreplaceable' that uses previously released vocals from Selena with the estate's approval.
  • Original 35mm music videos have been remastered, recolored and finished in 4K, including a reworked 'Déjà Vu' directed by Sophie Muller, and the campaign was seeded by the July 4 surprise release of 'Morning Dew (Donk)' and a Jay‑Z remix on Aug. 4 before preorders for deluxe packages went live.
  • The release continues a wider industry trend of mining artist vaults and selling premium collector editions while signaling a deliberate push into Latin markets and cross‑generational collaborations that could reshape how legacy catalogs are repackaged and promoted.
