‘I hear sirens while we make love.’
Eleven years after beating the authorities to the border, Beyonce & Jay Z (or Bonnie & Clyde) reunite for ‘Part II (On The Run)’, the sequel to the aforementioned release.
One of the many jams on Jay’s ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’, the genius of this cut has us hoping Bey‘s fifth studio album will see her take on a broader range of subjects, even stepping into new characters as you’ll find she does below.
After giving it about 30 or so spins, we’d say that this is the one number you have to listen to if you playing nothing else on ‘Carta’.
Why?
Find out below…
If the above and the snippets from her LP we’ve heard so far are anything to go by, album #5 may see Bey head for a sound made for summer.
Nostalgic and romantic, ‘On The Run’ boasts the rare quality of sounding better than its prequel, and could have easily found a home on ‘Dangerously In Love‘ or the sun kissed ‘B’Day‘!
This album sprung a big leak and is still platinum status!!
the album didnt leak the phone company who has the deal with jayz bought the album hence the platinum status
The ignorance is real. A phone company bought those copies so it doesn’t count. Does it even make sense to say an album’s sold a million before it’s out?

<3<3>>
I love it , was listen to it on repeat. Beyonce’s voice >
OMG IM SO EXCITED !!!!! I LOVE BEYONCE !!!!! SHES BETTER THAN RIHANNA !!! THAT SONG IS DOPE !!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRACK THAT WOULD BE ON A FLOPBUM!! LOVE IT !! #HIVE4LIFE LUV U SAM KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
hotstuff is that you?
Everyone is better than Rihanna
@FAF It doesn’t take much to be better than Rihanna, since hotstuff just had to bring her into it, Ciara, Beyonce, Gaga, Nicki, Katy, and etc. are all more talented overall.
FAF
TYLER You would be saying something that count ,if only Rihanna did not OWN 2007 “Umbrella” .
TYLER & FAF
When Rihanna can grace the Biggest Rapper in the Industry and the Biggest Selling Rapper, Eminem and their Singles is the Biggest selling Single he have with over 5 Million sold in the Us along well you do the Math.
TYLER, FAF HATERS KEEP RIGHT ON TALKING.
When Rihanna can Grace the Biggest selling Rapper Song, in the Game who has less Albums then Jayz, and has sold far more than Jayz has sold but that is never talked about and Jayz is never Bashed about it I wonder why.
AND YOUR WEAK ASSES never mentions how fast Jayz drops albums,dumb ass, but you moan and groan when Rihanna drops.
And as far as OTHERS being better than Rihanna who gives a f*&% who is better Rihanna is still doing the dam thing.
Rihanna sends all of You “Loveeeeeee” From Her Diamonds Tour From the other side of the World,Suckers.
I really love it Beyonces voice sounds so beautiful! Really nice song
jay Z’s Rap though >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
i agree i actually like Jay’s verses on this, if you listen close its sounds like he’s taking shots at lil wayne about the whole kidnapping Beyonce thing
Hopefully the video will be a continuation from 03 Bonnie and Clyde…..that car chase scene was life
I haven’t been feeling any of Bey’s new stuff, but I LOVE this song. Jay+Bey= SUCCESS !!
This man doesn’t have a bad album in his catalog..
O love this song!
Beyonce sounds good(Nothing usual)
I haven’t been feeling any of Bey’s new stuff, but I LOVE this song. Jay+Bey= SUCCESS !!
This is really nice! Bey’s voice can melt ice, she sounds so warm and beautiful. The video for this should definitely be the 03B&C continuation, but this clip could start off with the couple on an exotic island they’ve managed to escape to! #Grown2013version! #SilkyMusic
^^^^^ All of this
This is pure f****** life I love the modern soulful vibe Bey & Jay better make a s*** video to this their sexiest video to date! And yes, a chilled out continuation of Bonnie and Clyde since the title.
My only gripe is Jay Z’s part his flow could’ve been smoother on this song imo. But Bey killed it.
I like this ,love the smoothness and the music Beyonce sounds good she and jay got a hit on their hands.
Has anybody noticed that Beyonce & Kelly kind of sound alike.
Hell yeah! I’ve notice that from the very beginning. Every since they were with DC. Even when they talk its kinda weird because their tone of voice is so similar. You can tell that they were together a lot growing up lol
It’s smooth because the music that inspired it was smooth. Beyonce said that r&b from the 1990s was an inspiration.
Okay. This is pretty nice, but…
Beyonce, where are YOUR songs?
*Sighs*
Nice! I could listen to it with just Beyonce she sounds gorgeous.
beyonce voice sounds good on it..but what the hell is jay saying..such corny lyrics..and the beat is nice
Jay Rapping bout how good he got it with his Baby.
Sounds more like a Ms. Kelly b-side tbh OOP. Giving me dated 2006 realness.
Its to early to be hating dont you think
Beyonce does kind of sound like Kelly on this song.
I was thinking the same thing this song was stolen from Kelly Rowland.
………….KELLY SUE THE B****……………
she stole your debut song “cant nobody” F*** OFF YOU HATERS…
now she is doing it again tryna steal your song and dark sound now too.
i love it, hope this breaks the bey collabo curse…deserves some chart success
Curse? Most of her collabs are chart success *looks at Gaga, Shakira and Jay Z*
Beyonce and Gaga did really good, though.
Thats a BEYONCE song, though
Waits for the Navy and other lessors to hate
He should’ve put Rhianna on the song better yet Mariah
but since his b**** can’t get a real hit he felt sorry for her and put her on the track
I wonder who that thief beyonce stole the hook from since you bring the Navy into this w****. Stop f***** with us and keep it clean
B*******! If she needed a hit that bad it would have been Beyonce ft. Jay-Z not the other way around. But truthfulyl it should have been. Because as interesting as it is this song is mostly BEYONCE lol. Jay-Z’s verse is cool but her vocals alone are perfection on this song. So stop it.
KINGBEY Play nice it don’t hurt none,love.
I’m not a fan of either, but it’s a good track. Nothing groundbreaking or original, but I’d bang it!
Really pretty Beyonce voice sounds so s***.
I liked the whole album and may “love” it with a few more listens
It’s amazing how Jay-Z is still that relevant in the music industry and on billboards and power lists after all these years. He’s already achieved so much, and still can have his albums go platinum in a matter of days… Proud of him!
I am proud of His success also.
I was expecting a snippet, anyway this is TRASH.
I love it a lot well done bey and jay
I shaded beyonce in the past, but I gotta give it to her she did her thing. The beat slaps like no other! Jay-z came in spit like he just came fresh out the foot locker with news nike’s.
I wanna download bad!!!
This song is TRASH to the 10th power. These old goons need to go away. BEYAWNCE, you are a flop. You haven’t had hit in five years. Grown Flop Woman . Standing on the Flop. Bow Down Flop. Flop Flop Flop Flippity Flop. Your concert tickets are reducing bcuz nobody don’t want to see the Mrs. Carter Flop. Yeah you added more tour dates bcuz of all of those law suits and Pepsi wants their money back. You and your Camel are illuminati slaves and will be working until you leave this earth. Both of you are sad and pathetic.
@I AM ME What’s wrong boo, you mad at your truly fave for being a great sucess along with her “HUSBAND” which both of them are real artist not a pop corn artist like your truly main fave that has to hold her croch and walk a stage with no true vocals talent and smoke those left hand cig’s and drink any and every thing un mention beyond a eye. It’s ok to have hatred for your true and only fave and her husband.
@I AM ME, The word i could not remember is CARCINOGENS is what is in Pepsi and some Watch Groups are all up in air.
And another Thing Have You Noticed How it is always OKAY
for Jayz to drop as many Albums as he want to But Let Rihanna his Portege (Money Train) Drop and these Loose lips some how always looses their dam minds and Rihanna last two Albums has sold more then Jayz last two and Beyonce’s last two Offerings.
Your wording got me cracking up because i can identify with your words and i love them, like you used :Old Goons
Lmao and Trash to the 10 power Lol again ,You are a forward Thinker and i Dig that and know exactly where you are coming from.
I am trying to give Beyonce & Jay the Benefit of the Doubt But
your comment touched home for me in a good so real way.
See how Jay them are always Praised to high heaven and its okay for them to make all the money and snatch and grab all the Huge Endorsements Yet many of the Musician are stumped and kicked to the side if they make a power move or even think about doing something to help them get a pay check.
I read where they are talking about Something being in Pepsi and is under the spotlight for it can’t remember the word but its in the News big time.
Its something that causes Illiness and they are still marketing Pepsi with it in their Pepsi and Coke has corrected their Product with it.
LOVE IT! I can’t wait to get my hands on jay-z album it’s sounding good.
This is a nice song..very smooth, if you’re only into the generic(Rihanna,Katy etc)of course you won’t like it. I mean you listen to garbage everyday, so what would you know?
@Lovebird b**** please! You’re such a goddamm hater, it could be the cure to a sickness and your ass still would have something negative to say. Go to the Rihanna post and watch your fave twerk her back. Or that joke if a flop you have in your gravi you with her holding on for dear life career
@the delusional Kelly Stan.CIL sounds nothing like Kelly cant nobody flop like me. The reaches!
@Vax why would he want a singer who drank her vocals cords to shreds or a disease ridden untalented fame slore..you’re probably lovebird
LMFAO at twerking your back *dead*. And yeah, Lovebird is such a bitter hater. He’s so pressed.com *Tamar voice*
LMFAO at twerking your back *dead*. And yeah, Lovebird is such a bitter hater. He’s so pressed.com *Tamar voice*
Ugh love it!
Almost has a brandy feel to some of it.
Ugh would love for them to come out
with a song together (bey and brandy)
It would be crazy epic! This is the
Tone i love from Bey, sounds so real
And honest. Ugh must have. Can’t wait to see
A video for this
This song is very nice. Its anthing but trash (side eye) Bey and Jay did a goid job they didnt disappoint hope they make a video for it
Don get mad at me but jayz coming out with this album has me wondering. First, samsung is buying a million copies(so u know its going to number one. Second, his hard copie will be released JULY9(which is my fav). Y so soon when you just started promoting?? And he couldn’t put his album out on any other day, HAD to be july 9? And PLEASE buy ciara’s and not his. Damn he sold a million copies already. Please!!!
Rofl..welp ciara better just push that date back
Ciara’s already had a #1 album , we dont care about that, we pushing for big debut numbers. I can deal with #2 behind Jay lets not forget 3x platinum debut “Goodies” only had close to 100k first week back in ’04 and debuted at #3 so this will be her 2nd highest debut at #2
@faf. I agree. It just didn’t sit right with me. Ci <<<<3
go!!!!go right a head JAY-Z save her she is lost
beyonce sounds good….but this song is mad boring…..no shade
I thought I was the only one that felt this way about it. It’s o.k. Nothing “ground breaking” about it. Beyonce sounds tired to me. I wasn’t expecting her to “belt” or anything. But, she does sound like she’s tired. And, no offense, but Jay-Z’s rhymes sound corny and weak. Like I said, it’s an o.k. song, but not one that I would have on repeat.
Lol, ask Jay-Z, T.I and Drake who has given them their ONLY international hit, it certainly is not Beyonce and judging from this garbage that is this song, it’ll never be Beyonce.
“Crazy in Love” was a global hit, but you can keep trying.. No one gives a f***
Beyonce barely jumps on any rappers song unlike that other chick, besides her husbands darling so that was dumb
And yet her best selling songs worldwide are features like Telephone, Beautiful Liar.
Which is supposed to mean what? They are not rappers. They are certainly not her most famous and impactful songs either.
Which is supposed to mean that your comment doesn’t make any sense. Trying to shade Rihanna because she is featured on some rap songs? Half of Beyonce songs feature rappers, staring from Crazy In Love to PartyLift Off and this song :/ Always trying to discredit Rihanna, I see.
Who cares lol? Mrs. Carter is here for $12 sales, not $1.
How does my comment not make sense? The hater is trying to shade Beyonce for not giving RAPPERS (key word) not as many international hits as Rihanna on THEIR SONGS when she rarely features in their songs besides Jay Z so where does the comparison come in? Sorry but your point is irrelevant as usual.
And I also find it hilarious how you always b*** in coming for the Hive for defending THEIR FAVE because its the Rihanna fans doing the hating here. Who was the first one to bring Rihanna into it to shade Beyonce?
@K***.
Keep telling that to yourself, but those 1$ tracks make 75% of her discograhy. She is obviously here for them. Stop acting like Beyonce is a huge album seller when she has yet to outsell Baby One More Time with her 4 albums.
@LYDIA
You still don’t make any sense, but whatever. Always bringing random excuses just to make Beyonce look better.
Anyway, Umbrella was the biggest Jay Z song worlwide, it was more successful everywhere than Crazy in Love. But obviously it’s not his only international hit, that’s a lie.
No you just dont get and so youre getting in your high horse just because its about Rihanna when what I said is still strue. Its about being on rappers songs and giving them hits not the other way around. Its not rocket science.
And Im not one who bases sales on success or stans for sales and imo, Crazy in Love is bigger than Umbrellla after 10 years its not dated the dance has had impact and its a dancefloor classic. And clearly the various sources that names it Song if the Decade over Umbrella agree with me. Even in the UK where Im from there was a recent countdown of the greates pop songs on TV and CIL came way in front of Umbrella even though it sold less. So my definition of being nore successful is different.
Umbrella was covered by so many famous artists (more than ClL) and it was used more in media (video games/movies). Both were critically acclaimed (CIL more, obviously). They were making umbrellas with Rihanna’s name. Since you are from the UK, you probably know that there were stories about how Rihanna changed weather in the UK that summer 😀 Umbrella is a classic too. It was named the catchiest song of all time.
Beyonce has acclaim/ bettercoreography, Rihanna has charts/sales/video views/bigger usage and covers in media. Both have impact. But tbh I feel like Umbrella is more known worldwide because it came later. Here where I live Umbrella was definitely bigger than CIL.
I know Umbrellas a classic I would never deny her of that. I just dont think its more successful/more classic than CIL.
@Lydia IDK about the UK but in the US Crazy in Love was voted the most popular song of the past decade not Umbrella. I mean, not only was the song amazing the choreo, the vid, and even the out fit that Beyonce wore in the intro were as well (white top, shorts, red pumps), and don’t even get me started on the “Uh, Oh” dance. From the actors in the movie White Chicks to everday women Beyonce had people doing the “Uh, Oh” dance lmfao. Umbrella was also a very popular song but Crazy in Love definitely had more of an impact here. I can’t speak for the rest of the world tho.
Lol of course $1 tracks are nothing in her career lol… She might have sold tens of millions of them, but she’s achieved too much when it comes to album/DVD sales, Box Office, touring and moneymaking to care about how it.
Just look at her $407 million earned in the last 7 years of her career…
And I never claimed she’s as big an album seller as Britney Spears lol… 60-65 million worldwide, including 30 million in the world’s biggest market, is a respectful sales mark on it’s own…………
^AKA^ When we see people trying to talk Rihanna down Just know that if Rihanna wasn’t the shyts they would not give her ass the time of the day.
Rihanna did NOT give T.I. his damn hit. If that was the case yhen why was whatever you like such a big hit? He had the #1 AND #2 spot. Foh you’re embarrassing yourself.
Rihanna gave TI His biggest selling single to same with Jayz,Jeezy, Eminem and Her single with Eminem is the biggest selling single in the US ALONG.
quetta you have never hada good though in your head on rihanna its always doom and gloom with your hate for Rihanna can’t you wish a chick well.
LOL@you claiming Rihanna gave them their biggest hits. Especially Eminem. He could have did Love the Way You Live with Debbie Gibson and it would have been equally as big as it was.
But really jayz??? Really?? July 9?? Bs to its fullest!!
hmm sounds like Beyoncé is inspired by a certain singer, also starting with the letter B.
Dude she kinda does! Brandy and beyonce are my girls tho. I’ve been listening to the both of them since I was a kid. Love them! Love this song!
The truth of the matter to me is that they need to do a full complete collaboration album together and if anything possble put their daughter vocals on a track, real talk.
Love it! Very chill and s***! Its on repeat
Rihanna stans are mad because her boss ain’t interested in her no more. Jay assembled an album that included a f****** who’s who of guests… And Rihanna’s crack smoking, c** belching, frog sounding talentless ass was conspicuously left the f*** out! LMAO!
Just because someone doesn’t like this song is supposed to be mad? If anything, Jay Z is known worldwide thanks to other artists than gave him some popularity outside of his local country. No wonder his biggest hits worldwide are Umbrella, Crazy In Love and Empire State Of Mind. When will he make a global hit on his own without being a featuring artist?
Don’t like it that much tbh, I prefer that one with Justin.
Downloaded the album right on my beautiful samsung galaxy note II…it is a masterpiece. Tom ford, b**, beach is better and holy grail are my fav right now. But I find myself playing tom ford n beach is better more. And I see the navy are mad s***. Continue to hate. Bey sounded good though.
I like it its pretty
Lovebird and I Am Me = The Same Person
Beyonce’s vocals are perfect on this track. But Jay-Z’s flow (not lyrical content) sounds a lot like Tupac’s….idk if anyone else noticed that. Anyways I love the song. And I feel like the vid for this song is going to be cool as f*** lol.
…meanwhile Rihanna is somewhere practicing her “sick voice” so she can call in to Roc Nation and tell them that she’s too sick to play her next concert (pissing off the 30 people who planned to attend.)
Heh. I take it as a badge of honor when my words proved so cutting that it compelled one or two emotionally fragile clowns in cyber space to take the time to reconfigure their IP addresses so that they can negative vote repeatedly. Please keep the negative votes coming. I imagine every one as a falling tear from an awkward, lonely, bored, hapless, virginal Rihanna fan who, in rough times, can’t even turn to her music for comfort because they themselves know it’s terrible.
They’re probably rigged but who cares about the dislike lol. A Rihanna fan can’t tell me nothing after this song. Beyonce’s lower register and runs pretty much kill any and every Rihanna vocal performance. I’m tired of that generic auto-tuned mediocre pop b*******. This song has a 90’s feel to it and I love it. People just want to hate because Beyonce’s on it. But if that’s what they want to do, let them.

I’m feeling this. This is real cute
When beyonce is a ft on someone song it’s wack, but when rih is the s*** is fire…WHY IS THAT???
Thats your opinion
Ilove Bey and Hov together, but this song could’ve done without Jay-Z. This is definite RnB cut…SpreadDaWord . com
Loves it! Beyonces voice is fire.
I just want to know why you give them all this care? are they gods? they’re only humans whom are showing all what they can do with money. open your eyes just for a while and try to think, they’re nothing without ya. you could be as important as them.
I don’t like, i prefer the song with Justin, this one sounds like a Destiny’s Child’s song.
Name one Destiny’s Child song this sounds like.
Shut up worthless q*eer.
Dumbass.
Why would u compare rihanna with Beyonce they are totally different. People u need to have couple of sits because rihanna has nothing to so with this song
This n**** rap about same s***.
I really like its modern yet soulful and smooth. I could listen to it with just Beyonce. I love the versatility in her voice when she goes softer she reminded me of Brandy on this.
Pretty song would be nice to listen to driving on a hot day with the roof down
Simply love it! Such a feel-good, old school vibe.
as much as I can’t stand this c***, for stealing music, and not giving credits in her songs, and taking peoples fashion from other countries (thinking they won’t notice), I kinda like this song, even though her runs are comparable to Ciara in this song. Beyhive, please don’t mess with me, I did give her credit, I kinda like the song.
Well just give her credit and move Madonna and some legends are guilty of the same thing but no one is educated on that.
I love it!
Is the word c*** really necessary?
it’s not, sorry…and Beyonce is the best entertainer on the planet. She just gets a pass for some of her antics. But when you are the best, I guess that’s alright. She ain’t a c***, i really don’t know y I typed that?
I love it!!
This was not what I expected its very old skool soulful vibe really love it.
I love this song I wake up early this morning to listern to this amazing song bey have that real raw talente I can’t wait to buy this album bey and jay you all did a very good job god bless you all for life long live queen bey and king jay
Love it and love bey and jay. People thought their marriage won’t last, but they are slowly proving them wrong
Wow great
