Shining (song)

"Shining" is a song written and performed by American producer DJ Khaled as the lead single from his tenth studio album, Grateful (2017).

[5] Written and composed by Burt Bacharach, Jahron Brathwaite, Ingrid Burley, Shawn Carter, Hal David, Floyd Hills, Khaled Khaled, and Beyonce Knowles, the song features references to the lives and success of the Knowles-Carter couple, including the twenty-one Grammy Awards won to date by the rapper, the platinum records received by the RIAA for each album released, Knowles's twenty years of music success, and twins, Sir and Rumi (born June 18, 2017), are mentioned for the first time.

Beyoncé, on the other hand, operates with full-on swagger, singing triumphantly about "winning" for the last "20 years," and flashing a smile to even the most dogged haters.

Her half-rap cadence mimics the one she used on last year's "Formation," bearing all the marks of effortless skill and confidence.

"[10] Abbie McCarthy from The Independent wrote: "The song shows three heavyweights bringing all their talents to the party – DJ Khaled has served up a smooth, crisp beat, Beyoncé delivers an awesome attitude-laden verse and then Jay-Z steps in with a new sense of life, he's back to his best bars on this.
