- "Heaven" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her self-titled fifth studio album (2013). It was written and produced by the singer along with musician Boots who collaborated on the majority of the tracks on the album. Although speculation hinted the song to be inspired by the singer's miscarried child and recorded as a tribute, it was revealed that she drew inspiration from her mother Tina, losing her best friend. "Heaven" is a piano ballad with gospel and pop elements and emotional vocals which received comparisons to Beyoncé's 2008 song "Halo". The personal lyrics describe the protagonist mourning the death of a beloved person by repeating a sentimental hook; many critics found its lyrics to be personal. Music critics provided positive reviews for the track, praising its placement on the album and Beyoncé's vocal performance. The music video for "Heaven" was directed by Todd Tourso and Beyoncé and was released align side on the album on December 13, 2013. It was filmed in Puerto Rico and New York City and it stars Ashley Everett, the singer's long-time dance collaborator for her concerts. The clip shows important moments from the life of Beyoncé and Everett, who portray two best friends. During the end, it is made clear that one of them has died and the other is seen mourning her at the church and cemetery. Like the song, the video was praised for its emotional scenes and acting as well as the religious undertones. "Heaven" was performed live by Beyoncé during the European leg of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2014 as the concerts' closing song. (en)

- We reach motherhood and the joys and heartbreaks that come along with it in the final pair of songs. "Heaven" is said to be about the miscarriage she suffered from before finally giving birth to Blue Ivy. It's the type of message that takes a lot of strength to express, especially for the woman who had to endure it. To follow it with a song named after and featuring her infant daughter is the most powerful moment of all, and showcases just how much one woman can overcome, another one of life's hurdles Yonce would not let stop her.
