Resentment (Beyoncé song)

"Resentment" is a song written by Walter W. Millsap III, Candice Nelson and Curtis Mayfield, and originally performed by Victoria Beckham. The song was later recorded with additional lyrics by American singer Beyoncé, who included it on her second studio album B'Day (2006). It is an emotive ballad whose lyrics detail a situation where a woman feels hurt and anger that her man lied and cheated on her.

"Resentment" was originally intended for inclusion for Beckham's unreleased studio album, Come Together, but was eventually included as a bonus feature on the documentary video release The Real Beckhams (2004). American singer Jazmine Sullivan also recorded a rendition of the song in 2004, which remains unreleased.

The original version of the song was composed by Walter W. Millsap III and Candice Nelson and contained the instrumental of Curtis Mayfield's "Think" from the film Superfly in 1972. For her rendition, Beyoncé re-arranged the structure of the song by changing the order of lyrics, adding a chorus and writing new lyrics, also handling the production alongside Millsap III and Nelson.

Beyoncé's version of the song was well received by music critics who praised Beyoncé's powerful vocal performance and vulnerability. It charted at number 11 on the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles based on downloads alone. She performed the song during her revue shows I Am... Yours (2009) and Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live (2012). It was additionally included the live album I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas (2009).
