Raphael Saadiq reveals that Beyoncé heard the "BODYGUARD" demo by accident and liked it 🎸 

"Yeah, that song, I was going through my Dropbox. And I was playing songs in a room with her. She was in the room. Jay-Z was in the room, Jay, and some of the staff. And I was looking for a song. I don't think the phone was even hooked up to the speakers. And I played it, and I stopped it real quick because that's not the song I wanted to play. And I didn't think it was something she even liked. But she caught it in, like, two seconds. She goes, what's that? And I'm going, oh, that's just this idea that I had. And I played it, and she's like, what are you doing with it? And that's how it got on the record."
