They got that Htown, comin' comin' down.

Megan Thee Stallion has recruited fellow Houston hot girl Beyoncé for a "Savage" remix that dropped Wednesday afternoon by surprise. They're coming for wigs, y'all.

The new version clocks in at just over four minutes, roughly 90 seconds longer than the original. Mrs. Carter starts it off and things quickly get explicit.

"Hips tick tock when I dance," B coos in her Southern drawl. That's a reference to the original's explosion on the TikTok app, where users have uploaded clips of themselves doing choreography to the song. Even more will follow now with the remix.

Beyoncé also shouts out mom Tina Lawson in her lyrics.

Both artists are donating their share of proceeds to Bread of Life, Inc. The Houston-based organization was founded in 1992 to serve hot meals to homeless men and women in the sanctuary of St. John’s United Methodist Church. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Bread of Life has distributed 14 tons of produce, shelf-stable food and other supplies to 500 families each week via a drive-through distribution process. It has also delivered food to 100 homebound seniors each week.

The original  version of "Savage" is on Megan's "Suga" EP and reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The remix will probably catapult it into the top 10.
