Michelle Obamais diggingBeyoncé’s new single!
The former First Lady posted to Twitter on Tuesday to share her thoughts on “Break My Soul,” the high-energy house single from Beyoncé’s upcoming seventh solo studio album,Renaissance, and it seems she’s just as ready as the rest of the Beyhive to hit the dance floor.
“Queen@Beyonce, you’ve done it again!” tweeted Obama, 58. “‘Break My Soul’ is the song we all need right now, and I can’t help but dance and sing along while listening to it. Can’t wait for the album!”
If the post’s language sounds a little familiar, it’s because Obama seems to be referencing her own viral praise of the 40-year-old Grammy winner’sHomecomingdocumentary, a look into her 2018 Coachella performance released to Netflix the following year.

“Hey queen! Girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly,” said Obama in a video posted to social media in April 2019. “I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal.”
The clip’s opening quotes became heavily used on social media for both tongue-in-cheek and genuine compliments, but the rest of the video saw Obama compliment the depth ofHomecomingand its potential cultural impact.
Released Tuesday, “Break My Soul” runs over four minutes and samples Robin S’s 1993 hit “Show Me Love” and Big Freedia’s “Explode.”
The track arrived less than a week after Columbia Records announcedRenaissancewill drop on July 29.
Renaissancewill be the star’s first solo album in six years, and the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’sLemonade. (In the interim, she has releaseda soundtrack album toThe Lion KingandEverything Is Love,a collaborative album with husband JAY-Z. She also releasedHomecoming: The Live Album, the audio companion to her Netflix documentary, and in March, opened the 94th annualAcademy Awardswith ajaw-dropping performanceof her nominated song “Be Alive” fromKing Richard.)
