The new single came after Beyoncé announced she would be releasing her seventh studio album on Friday 29 July.

This will be her first solo release since 2016’s Lemonade, in which she tackled topics such as infidelity, Black womanhood and forgiveness.

On Monday (20 June), a change to the “Formation” vocalist’s social media profile alerted eagle-eyed followers that the first song from the upcoming project was near.

Her profile information on Instagram now reads: “6. Break My Soul – out now”.
