What would Queen Bee be without her "Pure/Honey?" In this track, Beyoncé sings about being the bee with the MOST honey. According to Genius, there are two parts to this song, with the first part being "Pure" and the second part being "Honey," thus "Pure/Honey." And when you listen for the switch in the song, you notice huge differences in the lyrics and Beyoncé's singing going from one part to the other.
First, "Pure" is all about being "c*nty" and heavily uses the Kevin Aviance sample that Beyoncé mostly raps and sing-talks over. This whole section of the song just exudes self-confidence from the lyrics. We know from her previous hits, "Run the World (Girls)" and "***Flawless," that Beyoncé isn't shy about making music to empower the Beyhive. She begins the first verse, "Bad b*tches to the left / Money b*tches to the right / You can be both, meet in the middle, dance all night." So, Beyoncé made this house track to encourage whoever's listening to let loose to the pulsing beat.
Then, when the song transitions into the "Honey" section, Beyoncé transforms into a sultry songstress. She sings, "I'll get you stuck (Stuck), stuck in my love (Stuck in my love) / Stuck in my honey." So "Pure/Honey" is a dance, self-empowerment, and baby-making anthem all wrapped up in one! The track is already a fan favorite; Beyhive member and "Glee" star Kevin McHale wrote on Twitter, "PURE/HONEY IS THE ONE!"
