While making the visual, Beyoncé revealed that she wanted to highlight nature’s beauty. "The concept of the video is to show how God is the painter and natural beauty in nature needs no art direction," she said during an interview. "It's the beauty of color, the beauty of melanin, the beauty of tradition." Beyoncé also explained that Africa inspired her. "It was important that we weren't just inspired by Africa but that we actually included and learned from the motherland."
