Less than 12 hours have passed since Beyoncé released her brilliant new single “Break My Soul” and, according to Michelle Obama, she has “returned”.
After the release of the song, Obama had a few words chosen for Queen Bey regarding the track and shared how she (and the rest of BeyHive) felt before the arrival of Renaissance.

“Queen @Beyonce, you’ve done it again!” Obama tweeted on Tuesday (June 21st). “‘Break My Soul’ is the song we all need right now, and I can’t help but dance and sing while I listen to it. I can’t wait for the album!”
Obama’s tweet is a subtle reference to the meme “Hey Queen” that was born when the former first lady applauded Bey after the premiere of Homecoming, the singer’s Netflix documentary, in 2019. In a video, Obama said, “Hey queen! Girl, you’ve done it again, constantly raising the bar for all of us and doing it perfectly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal.” (Obama also thanked Beyoncé in the video for paving the way for the next generation of young black women and men, but this quote from “Hey Queen” later became a widely used meme on social media to applaud people with sincerity and sarcasm.)
“Break My Soul” is the first single from Beyoncé’s next album, Renaissance. While BeyHive is still awaiting details, the album is expected to arrive on July 29 and will contain a total of 16 songs, according to reports, with dance and country elements, according to Variety.
