"Delresto (Echoes)" is a song by American singer Beyoncé and American rapper Travis Scott featuring uncredited guest vocals from Justin Vernon of American indie folk band Bon Iver. It was released through Parkwood Entertainment, Cactus Jack, Columbia and Epic Records as the second single[1] from Scott's fourth studio album, Utopia, on July 28, 2023.[2] The song was produced by Scott himself and additionally produced by Hit-Boy, Mike Dean, and Allen Ritter, with all four co-writing the song with Beyoncé, Vernon, and James Blake.[3]
Background
In a 2015 Complex interview, Scott stated that his "dream collaboration" would be with Beyoncé. Further explaining, he said "You know, I'm from Houston, she's from Houston. I feel like we—we're definitely in due time to do some music."[4] In 2019, it was revealed in a Vibe interview with R&B artist Tone Stith that both Knowles and Scott were still looking to collaborate, as Stith's song "Good Company" began as a demo for Knowles and Scott before being completed alongside Quavo and Swae Lee. [5] Later, on Beyoncé's 2023 Renaissance World Tour, she performed the song "America Has a Problem". As this song played, images of a newspaper titled "The Echo" were displayed on the concert screens. These images served as a hint towards "Delresto (Echoes)", and were later identified as a major component on the single's cover artwork.[6]
