Ariana Grande’s New Song ‘R.E.M’ Was Originally Recorded By Beyonce [Listen]

Posted August 23, 2018

Beyonce has some new music out, well kind of. An unreleased version of Ariana Grande‘s new track ‘R.E.M.’ which was originally done by Bey has made its way online, and we’re here for it.

The official released song appears on Ariana’s new album ‘Sweetener which arrived last Friday but Bey later shared her demo of the song with the world for the first time.

Grande confirmed on July 30 that she would be incorporating the tune into her album. “mmhmmm! well kind of, it’s an entirely new song now but the hook was so dreamy,” she tweete dto fans “it had to find a home i think it’ll be one of your favs.”

Bey’s version was titled ‘WAKE UP‘ and was recorded for her 2013 self-titled album, but it didn’t make the final cut for her album. The track also features her daughter Blue Ivy as she can be heard crying and saying “mama” toward the end of the recording as her mom shushes her.

Get into both Bey and Ariana’s version below.
