Serving as track #9 on Beyoncé's self-titled album, the Drake-featured record entitled “Mine” was written and produced by Drizzy’s in-house producer, 40. The track centers around doubt, telling of the uncertainty she’s experienced in getting married, becoming a mother, and falling in love. It also explores, to some degree, post-natal depression. Among futuristic sounds and African-esque beats, an eclectic, haunting vocal weaves through some of Bey’s most personal lyrics. Drake’s verses swerve monotonously through Bey’s, adding a distinct flavor of confidence to the emotion that Bey brings to the collab.
The music video was directed by Pierre Debusschere, who also directed the video for “Ghost”. There is distinct parallel imagery to two works of art: Michaelangelo’s “Pietà” and René Magritte’s “The Lovers”, which were intended by the director. Surrealistic, highly interpretive imagery make “Mine” arguably one of the best videos on "Beyoncé".
