"6 Inch" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her sixth studio album, Lemonade (2016). The song was written by Abel Tesfaye, Knowles, Danny Schofield, Benjamin Diehl, Terius Nash, Ahmad Balshe, Jordan Asher, David Portner, Noah Lennox, Brian Weitz, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The song contains a sample of American soul musician Isaac Hayes' cover "Walk On By" (1969) as originated by American vocalist Dionne Warwick and features an interpolation of "My Girls", a 2009 song by neo-psychedelic band Animal Collective.
The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, originally aired on HBO.
Music producer Ben "Billions" Diehl talked to Billboard about his work with great artists and mentioned that Beyoncé already knows a song "6 Inch" since 2013. According to Diehl, he, rapper Belly and producer Danny Boy Styles met in October of the same year to work on music. "Originally a Belly song with participation from French Montana," Diehl said. "We got a response that Beyoncé had liked and then we decided: we should continue working together, I think they get somewhere. It turns out you do not know when that day will come. When a singer released her surprise visual album in December 2013, Diehl was quick to check out a list of songs, but "6 Inch" was not there. "Everything went well." Diehl concludes. After three years, in 2016, the song finally came out on Beyoncé's sixth album, "Lemonade," with a guest appearance from The Weeknd.
