TL;DR

Dolly Parton expressed her desire for Beyoncé to cover her song "Jolene," and Beyoncé fulfilled the wish by including a version of the hit on her "Renaissance" sequel, "Act 11: Cowboy Carter." Beyoncé put her own spin on the lyrics, changing "I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man" to "I'm warning you, don't come for my man." The updated lyrics reflect a strong and assertive message, and the song is introduced by Dolly Parton herself.
