[Verse 3: Jay Z]
One ain't enough, I need two
That night I mix the Ace with the D'US'
Hit a triple-double in the Garden
Held up my left wrist like I'm Harden (swish)
Ran to the dealer, bought twin Mercedes
The European trucks for the twin babies
Don't let me have a son, I'm a fool, haha
Send him to school in all my jewels, haha
I want a boy and girl to fight for truth
Whatever God give me, I'm cool
I've been winnin' so long it's like alchemy
I've been playin' cards with the house money
21 Grammys, I'm a savage, nigga
21 Grammys, I'm a savage, nigga
That shit even works backward niggas
12 solo albums, all Platinum, nigga
I know you ain't out here talkin' numbers, right?
I know you ain't out here talkin' summers, right?
I know you ain't walkin' 'round talkin' down
Sayin' boss shit when you a runner, right?
Plain Patek, been had it
Flooded when I got it from Khaled
That was just a thank you for his last year
Next year he gon' have to buy a palace, shinin'
[Chorus: Beyoncé & DJ Khaled]
Shinin', shinin', shinin', shinin', yeah (shinin', yeah)
All of this winnin', I've been losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
Oh, hold on (hold on, baby)
Don't (don't) try to (try to)
Slow me down (down)
Hold on (hold on)
Don't (don't) try to (try to)
Slow me down
Slow me down, yeah
[Outro: Dionne Warwick & Beyoncé]
Just because you say things are gonna change
Things are gonna change, things are gonna change
All of this winnin', slow me down
-ing something's wrong isn't good enough
Isn't good enough, isn't good enough
All of this winnin', yeah
Isn't good enough, isn't good enough
Isn't good enough, isn't good enough
Isn't good enough, isn't good enough
Isn't good enough, isn't good enough

This is what they call dream team. Beyoncé don’t do no features. I haven’t heard one in a long time, so I’m very grateful. Jay Z, he don’t really do features either, you know what I’m saying. And every time we work we always win. To get the king and the queen together on one record, that was like, I...
Jay Z and Khaled’s first connection was on the official remix of “Go Hard” in 2008. Since then they have worked together on 2014’s “They Don’t Love You No More,” and 2016’s “I Got The Keys.” “Shining” marks their fourth collaboration.
The album art has a picture of DJ Khaled’s three month old son, Asahd.
According to Hov’s engineer Young Guru, this track was finished the night before its release. We can assume after attending the Roc Nation pre-Grammys brunch Jay and DJ Khaled headed back to his and Bey’s house in Beverly Hills, and worked on the track in their home studio.
Khaled later explained t...
PARTYNEXTDOOR earned a co-writer credit for this track. His contributions were for Bey’s portion of the track, not Jay Z’s verse.
After signing a management deal with Jay Z’s Roc Nation entertainment company early last year, DJ Khaled used this connection to nab the opening slot on Beyoncé’s “Formation World Tour.”
Despite a slew of tour dates together, Khaled revealed that his larger than life personality often folded in the...
In an interview with XXL magazine on the set of his cover shoot, Khaled further broke down how the track was made, revealing that Hov and Bey had been sitting on the instrumental for a few months prior to its release:
The way that record happened was me presenting a record to Jay Z, like, ‘Yo Jay Z...
The week my son was born I was at Nobu eating and I heard this sample. I put my phone up and I Shazam’d it [saying] ‘Man, this is my single!’ [Then] we went in the studio and we flipped it.
So we sampled it and we chopped it up. I already knew what I was doing, I was like ‘This is it, this is my si...
The song clocks in at precisely 4 minutes and 44 seconds. The number 4 is sacred to both JAY-Z and Beyoncé—both of their birthdays are on the 4th day of the month (JAY-Z: December 4th, Beyoncé: September 4th,) they were married on April (the 4th month) 4th, 2008 and their daughter’s name is Blue Ivy...
