This week brings with it the 20th anniversary of Destiny’s Child‘s ‘Survivor.’
And while two decades may have passed, the project has lost none of its sheen, shine, or seismic impact.
Today’s From The Vault salutes one of its most resonating offerings – ‘Bootlycious.’
Issued as its parent-LP’s second single, the bouncy bop was penned by Beyonce, Rob Fusari, and Falonte Moore.

Crucially, it potently pushed back at the patriarchy-shaped ideals that had been imposed on women for decades prior.

Much like the women who sing it, ‘Bootlycious’ has carved out a legendary place in history that cannot be erased.
