  "account": "Beyoncé celebrated her 45th birthday by releasing a 20th-anniversary deluxe edition of her sophomore album. The newly remastered digital version expands the record to 31 tracks, including previously unreleased material, B-sides, remixes, and new collaborations with Maluma and Selena Quintanilla. One of the biggest additions is a duet with Selena, \"Irreemplazable (Como La Flor),\" which combines Beyoncé's Spanish version of \"Irreplaceable\" with Selena's \"Como La Flor.\" The album also features a remix of \"Get Me Bodied\" that samples Celia Cruz's \"La Negra Tiene Tumbao.\" Beyoncé produced the track alongside Edgar Barrera and CASTA, with Ali \"Ali Ali\" Alvarez serving as co-producer. Other included tracks span various eras, such as \"My First Time,\" originally recorded for her 2003 debut album Dangerously in Love. The physical editions of the deluxe set include a four-LP set on 180-gram blue vinyl with a commemorative booklet and art prints, as well as a standard two-LP edition and CD. Originally released on September 4th, 2006, B'Day earned Beyoncé the Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album the following year.",
