History Music / Lemonade2016

* WomanScorned: Many --if not ''all''-- of the tracks portray Beyonce in this light, to varying degrees. "Hold Up" and "Don't Hurt Yourself" play it up the most.

* YourCheatingHeart: Jay-Z cheating on her was the main impetus for this album and its themes.

** In the one hour visual special that came with Lemonade's release, Beyonce is seen singing "Hold Up" whilst smiling and skipping through the streets in a beautiful yellow gown until she takes a bat and proceeds to bust up everything in sight--cars, shop windows, fire hydrants, even the cameraman! [[TranquilFury All with a smile on her face.]] And that's only before she gets into the monster truck...uh-oh.

* ClusterFBomb:

** "6 Inch" samples "Walk On By" by written by Isaac Hayes and features an interpolation of "My Girls" by Music/AnimalCollective.

** Though [[Headscratchers/{{Beyonce}} it’s not clear]] why Beyoncé [[WomanScorned should be sorry]].

* TheCameo: Creator/ZendayaColeman, Creator/AmandlaStenberg, Serena Williams, and Quvenzhané Wallis are among the most familiar that show up in the film.

** The segment for "Don't Hurt Yourself" in the ''Lemonade'' special shows Beyonce getting frighteningly angry as she sings about getting cheated on and [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou warning her lover not to do it again]][[note]]whilst Beyonce hasn't even clarified who she's singing about, it's presumed that she's singing about her husband Jay-Z or her father, Matthew Knowles[[/note]], coupled with a montage of Beyonce angrily confronting the camera, Beyonce in a white wedding dress glaring with a wall of fire behind her, and even throwing a ring at the camera!

** ''Sorry'' marked the beginning of her "Apathy" chapter in the Lemonade special and the song lyrics show Beyonce just really didn't give a damn, going as far as to tell her cheating lover to "suck on [her] balls" because "[she's] had enough".
