Lemonade (Internet Money, Gunna and Don Toliver song)

"Lemonade" was first teased by Internet Money founder and producer Taz Taylor during an Instagram Live video in June 2020. The same month, producer Nick Mira confirmed a collaboration between Gunna, Don Toliver, and Nav on Twitter, while Gunna also previewed the song on Instagram. The track was officially announced by the producers in a July interview with music video company Lyrical Lemonade, who worked on the song's official music video. The song was conceived in 2017 by Taylor, Jozzy, and Johnny Yukon, and Toliver ended up on the song after their now-former record label, Artist Partner Group, offered Taylor old songs by Toliver. He received the original and a capella versions without Toliver's knowledge. Producer Only1Zay later added the guitar to the track. Taylor originally planned to have Toliver's label boss, Travis Scott, on the song, because the guitar melody reminded him of his single, "Yosemite", which also featured both Gunna and Nav, from his third studio album, Astroworld (2018). The collaboration came to full circle when Gunna was added to the song, which then led to Nav's feature, due to Gunna's close relationship with Nav and the record label that he is signed to, XO. Toliver later gave his approval for the song. At the same time, Gunna and Toliver were working together with the former's DJ, Chase B, on the latter two's single, "Cafeteria", which was released exactly three weeks prior to "Lemonade". Gunna thought he had recorded a verse for only the former track, but Taylor said that Gunna actually recorded verses for both songs without knowing. "Lemonade" was finished and mixed in mid-2020 along with the rest of its parent album, B4 the Storm. It experienced numerous leaks before being officially released. ==Composition==

Over a "bouncy", guitar-laden beat, the song sees Gunna and Nav delivering their "usual rockstar talk" on their respective verses, with Toliver performing both the pre-chorus and chorus. Uproxx's Wongo Okon noted how the artists are "fascinated by the shine and icy nature of their yellow diamonds" as they "relish in their successful careers". ==Critical reception==

Revolt's Jon Powell called the song "infectious". ==Music videos==

The official music video for the original version of the song was released later the same day as its release. It was directed by Cole Bennett for his Lyrical Lemonade channel. Bennett had listened to its parent album, B4 the Storm, prior to the video shoot and expressed his love for "Lemonade". Internet Money producers Nick Mira and Taz Taylor recalled how cooperative Bennett and his team were despite the weather being very hot. Gunna is sitting above in a boat fishing, while Toliver and Nav are seen around mermaids and other sea creatures. Revolt's Jon Powell noted how they show off "futuristic old-school whips and high ends jewelry and threads to match". ==Charts==
