Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé began performing in local competitions at age 7, eventually forming the group Girl's Tyme in 1990 with help from her parents. Girl's Tyme became Destiny's Child in 1997.
During the hiatus of Destiny's Child in 2003, Beyoncé released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, which became one of the most successful albums of that year, and signaled her viability as a solo artist. The disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success: her sophomore solo album B'Day, released in 2006, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations. On January 31, 2010, she won 6 Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy awards won by a female artist in one night; she previously held the record of five awards with 5 other artists.

Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You love the taste
That sugar babe, it melts away
I kiss you when you lick your lips, I kiss you when you lick your lips
You like it wet and so do I, you like it wet and so do I
I know you never waste a drip, I know you never waste a drip
I wonder how it feels sometimes
Keep me coming, keep me going, keep me coming, keep me going
Keep me humming, keep me moaning, keep me humming, keep me moaning
Non-stop loving 'til the morning, constant loving 'til the morning
Don't stop screaming, freaking, blowing
Can you eat my skittles
It's the sweetest in the middle
Pink that's the flavor
Solve the riddle
I'mma lean back
Don't worry it's nothing major
Make sure you clean that
That's the only way to get the
Flavor
If you're thirsty and need love just hit your boy
I'm your milk man at your door
When you phone me I can see you with your cup
I'm just role playing
(Must be good to you)
Keep me coming, keep me going, keep me coming, keep me going
Keep me humming, keep me moaning, keep me humming, keep me moaning
Non-stop loving 'til the morning, constant loving 'til the morning
Non-stop screaming, freaking, blowing

Solve the riddle
In "Blow Remix," Beyonce and Pharrell celebrate sexual pleasure and satisfaction. The song is filled with innuendos and metaphors, while the upbeat tempo and catchy hook make it feel like a celebratory pop anthem. The lyrics are highly suggestive and boastful, with Beyonce and Pharrell reveling in the joy of sexual experimentation and exploration.
The opening stanza sets the stage for the rest of the song, with Beyonce singing, "I love your face, you love the taste, that sugar babe, it melts away." The words are simple, but the message is clear: Beyonce is in love with her partner's body and enjoys the way they taste. The chorus repeats the lines "Keep me coming, keep me going" and "Non-stop loving 'til the morning," emphasizing the idea that Beyonce and Pharrell want to experience pleasure for as long as possible.
The second verse includes the lyrics "Can you eat my skittles, it's the sweetest in the middle, pink that's the flavor, solve the riddle." This is a clever metaphor for oral sex, with Beyonce using candy as a stand-in for her body. The final verse is perhaps the most explicit, with Beyonce and Pharrell exchanging lines about wanting to "tear that cherry out" and "be the boss" in the bedroom. The song ends with the repeated lines "Keep me coming, keep me going," emphasizing the idea that Beyonce and Pharrell want to keep experiencing pleasure as long as possible.
