Beach 2k20


"Beach 2k20" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn, recorded for her eighth studio album Honey. It was released as the fifth single from the album on 4 September 2019 with a remix by Yaeji. A remix by Louie Vega followed on 17 July 2020.

Composition

Described as a "deadpan house banger" and "one of the most lyrically inane songs of Robyn's career", the song "attempt to capture the exact feelings of just chilling somewhere tropical and quietly enjoying yourself". It features a sample of Timmy Thomas's "Why Can't We Live Together", as well as a musical reference to Robyn's debut "Show Me Love". "Beach 2k20" features "jazzy samba beats" and "the occasional 'Schwoop!' sound you might recognize from a departing iMessage"

Release

On 20 June 2020, Robyn released "Beach 2k20" on a limited edition 12" vinyl featuring remixes of the song along with "Between the Lines". It was released as part of a Honey Remix vinyl series, alongside "Honey", "Baby Forgive Me" and "Ever Again", for the Love Record Stores Day 2020 event. Only 500 of each were manufactured.
