"Yoncé"
The video for "Yoncé" was directed by Ricky Saiz, and features models Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman and Joan Smalls. Knowles and the models are dressed in leather, fishnets, and straps, and are posing against a brick wall, with cameras showing flashes of skin, close-ups of lips, and erotic tongue flicks. The Cut called the video "two minutes and four seconds of fashion and sex," and "a contemporary, gritty, voyeuristic nod to George Michael's 'Faith'."
"Partition"
The video for "Partition" was directed by Jake Nava and shot in the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris. It features Knowles' husband Jay-Z, and the Crazy Horse dancers. In a video commentary to the album, Knowles said: "The day that I got engaged was my husband's birthday and I took him to Crazy Horse. And I remember thinking, 'Damn, these girls are fly.' I just thought it was the ultimate sexy show I've ever seen. And I was like, 'I wish I was up there, I wish I could perform that for my man...' So that's what I did for the video."
