Not only does the song include a sample of Big Freedia’s “Explode,” but it also pays tribute to Robin S.’s “Show Me Love.” Though it’s one of many tracks on the album, it offers a glimpse of what fans can expect fromRenaissance.
Last week, fans learned that Beyoncé would be releasing new music. After she deleted pictures from social media, the singer subtly changed her bio to say, “6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET.” According toBillboard, “Break My Soul” is the sixth song on the track list.
This month, Beyoncé appeared on the cover ofBritish Vogueto promote her seventh studio album.
