She has secretly recorded a song with Miley called II Most Wanted, while her Post Malone collaboration is called Levii’s Jeans.
Black country artist Shaboozey is also said to have worked with her on the song Spaghetti.
Dolly Parton will provide a spoken word interlude, with Beyonce covering her 1973 hit Jolene.
The album, which is Beyonce’s eighth as a solo artist, is also expected to feature a cover of The Beatles’ 1968 song Blackbird.

Her No1 hit Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages, both of which were released in February, are included on the record.
Dolly let slip earlier this month that the Break My Soul singer would be giving her own rendition of Jolene.
Asked if the rumours were true, Dolly said: “Well, I think she has.
“I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that.”
The album is part of a trilogy project for the star, which started with 2022’s Renaissance.

It was a huge commercial success and was followed by the most successful tour of her career, which made £460million.
Speaking about Cowboy Carter earlier this month, Beyonce said: “This album has been over five years in the making.
“It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t.”
The reference is believed to be the backlash from the country community when she joined the group The Chicks, formerly known as Dixie Chicks, on stage at the Country Music Awards in 2016 to perform her song Daddy Lessons.
Many were vocal online that she didn’t deserve to perform there because she was not considered a country artist.
Last month, she was met with similar difficulties when a US country radio station said they wouldn’t play her new music because it was not considered right for the station.
However, they later did a U-turn and said they would play it after being criticised for the decision.
