Background

The song marks the second collaboration between Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, following "Blue", a song from Beyoncé's 2013 album Beyoncé. Carter is also credited as a songwriter and contributed vocals.[5] The song caused the #BrownSkinGirlChallenge to go viral upon release of the song.[6][7]

Critical reception

In a positive review, Imani Bashir of Teen Vogue described the song as a "celebration of dark-skinned women".[8] Amanda Mitchell at The Oprah Magazine complimented the song for being "unapologetically and fearlessly Black".[5] Time magazine praised Blue Ivy Carter's appearance, calling it a "gracious cameo".[9] Ellise Shafer of Billboard noted that she added a "sentimental tone to the track".[6] Alexis Petridis writing for The Guardian pinpointed "Brown Skin Girl" as one of the album highlights, describing it as "brilliant".[10]

Lupita Nyong'o also reacted by posting a video of herself on Friday July 19, 2019 via Instagram, singing and dancing along to “Brown Skin Girl", in which her name was specifically applauded by Beyoncé.
