Beyonce Collaborator Finally Explains 'Lemonade's' 'Becky With The Good Hair' Lyric

There’s been few lyrics ever discussed as intensely as one particular line from Beyonce’s ‘Sorry’, off the album Lemonade. The lyric ‘he better call Becky with the good hair’ sparked social media debates and accusations, as everyone tried to discover who ‘Becky’ was. But now the song’s co-writer Diana Gordon has finally come clean with the truth behind the infamous line.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gordon was asked what she though about people’s reactions to the lyric. “I laughed, like this is so silly,” she said. “Where are we living? I was like, ‘What day in age from that lyric do you get all of this information?’ Is it really telling you all that much, accusing people?"

When asked if she’d spoken to Beyonce about the response Gordon continued: “No. I don’t think she expected it. I saw her at her Formation tour. She had a pyjama party; we laughed, we danced, we hugged it out. But I didn’t say much about it at the time because I wanted to give her space.”

“The idea started in my mind but it’s not mine anymore. It was very funny and amusing to me to watch it spread over the world. If it’s not going to be me saying it, and the one person in the world who can say it is Beyoncé, I was f***ing happy. With Beyoncé, I feel like the songs we worked on were specifically for her.”

Since Lemonade’s release fans have speculated on who ‘Becky with the good hair’ could be. Most pointed fingers at fashion designer Rachel Roy, who has in the past been accused of having an affair with Jay-Z, while singer Rita Ora was also speculated.

Gordon also described to EW the process of working on songs with Beyonce. “Beyoncé is a scientist of songs," she revealed. "I’ve never seen anyone work the way she works. She definitely changes the song structures.

“It’s more of a collaboration. You never know what she’ll like. I came to her with a bunch of songs and she was like, ‘I like that verse, I like the idea.’ But she definitely doesn’t take things as is, at least not from me.”
