Beyoncé blessed us with her new album, "Cowboy Carter" and among the 27 songs, she also brought back the version of "Jolene" , the famous song of Dolly Parton. But of course Bey would make her own mark, so Beyoncé's version of "Jolene" is no longer a woman practically begging Jolene not to take the man she loved, but a woman warning her not to get close to her husband. hers.
Bey's song opens with the original notes of the 1973 song, then she takes a "break" to modernize 2024's "Jolene ," adapting it to a different story: "I'm warning you, don't come for my man ,” says Bey, sending a clear message to the man's lover.
"You need more than beauty to take the trouble to come between a family and a happy husband/ Jolene, I'm a woman too/ The games you play ain't new/ So you don't want a problem with me, Jolene,” she sings next.
Many celebrities have welcomed her version, starting with Dolly herself, who says, "Wow, you just heard 'Jolene.'" Beyoncé is giving that girl some trouble, and she deserves it. I love the change of lyrics. . It gives her a new life. Things don't have to be done the same way. It would be boring." it's fantastic.

In 2020, in an interview for "Big Issue", Dolly said that she always hoped that Bey would do a version of this song.
But the Internet is divided into two parts.
Some really like the new version and don't stop listening to it.
"Adore!"; "This is why Beyoncé is queen"; "Ok, that's the best version I've heard," were some of the comments from people on TikTok.
Others think it's too much and that Beyoncé, a woman, is trying to show another woman that she's stronger, sexier, and more confident. Some have described it as a "sexist" song that differentiates women from each other.

That song is iconic!”; "But the whole message of the previous song is to convey pure emotions and show how beautiful and irresistible Jolene is"; "This version will not even be remembered in 5 years. Especially because he changed the words and brought a sexist approach," commented another person.
