Developed as a "visual album", Beyoncé's songs are accompanied by non-linear short films that illustrate the musical concepts conceived during production. Its dark and intimate subject material includes feminist themes of sex, monogamous love, and relationship issues, inspired by Beyoncé's desire to assert her full creative freedom.

Directed by Hype Williams and Ed Burke and Beyoncé and Jonas Åkerlund and Melina Matsoukas and Bill Kirstein and Pierre Debusschere and Jake Nava and Ricky Saiz and Todd Tourso and Francesco Carrozzini and Terry Richardson
