Beyonce has unveiled the cover art and full tracklist for the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of her sophomore album, B'Day, ahead of its September 4 release.

The expanded four-LP set, pressed on 180-gram "Bayou Blue" vinyl, brings together the original album's 21 tracks, including "Deja Vu," "Irreplaceable" and "Ring the Alarm," alongside Spanish-language recordings such as "Irreemplazable" and "Bello Embustero." The 27-track collection is priced at $149.98 and includes a 60-page commemorative booklet and two collectible art prints.

Among the release's biggest draws is "Morning Dew (Donk)," a previously released track that kicked off the anniversary celebration with a surprise Jay-Z feature, alongside vault rarities including "My First Time," "Can I Watch You," "Lost Yo Mind," "Creole" and "Back Up," material that has circulated among fans for years without an official release.

The milestone arrives exactly two decades after B'Day first landed on September 4, 2006, an album that helped cement Beyonce's transition from Destiny's Child member to solo pop and R&B powerhouse. The anniversary campaign follows a pattern the singer has used for earlier catalog titles, pairing expanded physical packaging with rare or unreleased material to reward longtime fans, and arrives the same month she faced a copyright suit over a sample on Alien Superstar.

The B'Day 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition arrives September 4, 2026, giving fans a fuller picture of the album's original sessions two decades after its initial release; the reissue is listed alongside other upcoming titles in the release calendar.
