Beyoncé's 'B'Day' Deluxe: What's New on the 31-Track 20th-Anniversary Edition
Beyoncé released a remastered 'B'Day' 20th-anniversary deluxe edition with 31 tracks on her birthday, adding unreleased songs, Spanish-language versions, and collaborations with Maluma and Selena. Here's what's actually new.
Beyoncé marked her birthday by releasing a remastered 20th-anniversary deluxe digital edition of her 2006 album "B'Day," expanding the original tracklist to 31 songs, according to a press release distributed via PRNewswire and attributed to Parkwood Entertainment. If you're trying to figure out exactly what's different from the original album, here's the breakdown.
What's actually new on the deluxe edition
According to the official release, the 31-track expansion adds several previously unreleased songs, including "Creole," "Back Up," "Lost Yo Mind," and "Can I Watch You." The official release names Beyoncé and Pharrell as producers of "Can I Watch You"; some media reports go further and describe the track as featuring Pharrell as a vocal collaborator, but that specific detail comes from secondary reporting rather than the official release language reviewed here. The deluxe edition also folds in Spanish-language recordings and two headline collaborations: "Cuerpo Tumbao (Get Me Bodied)" featuring Colombian artist Maluma, and "Irreemplazable (Como La Flor)" featuring Selena, the latter made possible through arrangement with the late singer's estate.
The release also states that music videos from the original album era were remastered and recolored in 4K, with "Déjà Vu" specifically named as one of the videos that received this treatment. Beyond that specific mention, the source material doesn't detail which other videos were included in the visual remaster, so that scope should be treated as unconfirmed for now.
Original vs. deluxe: what changed
The core distinction is straightforward: the original 2006 "B'Day" tracklist stays intact, and the anniversary deluxe layers new material on top of it rather than replacing songs. The additions fall into three categories per the official announcement:
- Unreleased vault tracks — songs recorded around the original album sessions but not previously released, including "Creole," "Back Up," and "Lost Yo Mind"
- New collaborations — "Cuerpo Tumbao (Get Me Bodied) feat. Maluma" and "Irreemplazable (Como La Flor) feat. Selena," both Spanish-language reworkings of existing "B'Day" songs ("Get Me Bodied" and "Irreplaceable," respectively)
- Remastered audio and visuals — the album's original songs were remastered, and at least one music video ("Déjà Vu") was reissued in 4K
What the official release does not spell out is a complete, sequenced 31-song tracklist naming every song alongside its position on the album. The confirmed titles above come directly from the release's description of the project, but a few of the 31 slots aren't individually named in the source material reviewed here.
Where to stream it
Multiple outlets, including Billboard and Hypebeast, have reported that the deluxe edition is streaming on services such as Spotify and Apple Music. That reporting appears to trace back to the same official announcement rather than representing independent confirmation, and none of the sources reviewed here include a direct check of an official distributor or platform page. So treat that streaming detail as media-reported rather than independently verified.
What's still unclear
A few details haven't been nailed down in the sources reviewed. The official announcement doesn't provide a full song-by-song tracklist covering all 31 entries, so the exact sequencing and identity of every added track beyond those named above remain unspecified. Similarly, while "Déjà Vu" is confirmed as remastered in 4K, it's not clear from the release whether other original music videos from "B'Day" received the same 4K treatment or if that upgrade was limited to select visuals. Whether Pharrell contributed vocals to "Can I Watch You," beyond his credited production role, also isn't settled by the official release language reviewed here. Fans looking for the complete picture may want to check official Beyoncé or Parkwood Entertainment channels directly as more details potentially emerge.
For now, what's confirmed is this: the 20th-anniversary deluxe edition of "B'Day" adds unreleased songs, two high-profile Spanish-language collaborations with Maluma and Selena, and at least one remastered 4K music video, all tied to Beyoncé's birthday release.
