Song: BREAK MY SOUL
Artist: Beyoncé
Produced By: Tricky Stewart, Beyoncé & The-Dream
Album: RENAISSANCE
Written By: Big Freedia, BlaqNmilD, Fred McFarlane, Allen George, JAY-Z, Christopher Stewart, The-Dream & Beyoncé
Release Date: June 21, 2022
The Queen is back, so grab your wigs and get ready. “BREAK MY SOUL,” the first track from Beyoncé’s I RENAISSANCE album, was released just four days after she announced the July 29 release date for the much-awaited record.
To respect a long history of liberatory queer anthems like Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out,” or Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” “BREAK MY SOUL” was produced by Beyoncé, Tricky Stewart, and The Dream.
Beyoncé urges you to let go of the stress you’re feeling because of a bad relationship or a dead-end job.
This upbeat track begins with her singing “Got motivation,” then moves into the chorus with a joyful chant of “You won’t break my soul.” The song concludes with the chorus refrain of “You won’t break my soul,” all set to a throbbing dance melody.
Inspired by Robin S.’s “Show Me Love” and Big Freedia’s 2014 bounce single “Explode,” the retrofuturistic track is a blend of disco, house, and gospel music with delicate, meticulously-arranged vocals perfect for the ballroom.
BREAK MY SOUL Beyoncé Lyrics
I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (Release ya wiggle)
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (Release ya wiggle)
Ah, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
I’m tellin’ everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job
I’m gonna find new drive, damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine, then off past five
And they work my nerves, that’s why I cannot sleep at night
Motivation
I’m lookin’ for a new foundation, yeah
And I’m on that new vibration
I’m buildin’ my own foundation, yeah
Hold up, oh, baby, baby
You won’t break my soul (Na, na)
You won’t break my soul (No-no, na, na)
You won’t break my soul (No-no, na, na)
You won’t break my soul (Na, na)
I’m tellin’ everybody (Na, na)
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Release ya anger, release ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest
I’ma let down my hair ’cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I’m sleepin’ real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped
There’s a whole lot of people in the house
Tryin’ to smoke with the yak in your mouth
(Good at night) And we back outside
You said you outside, but you ain’t that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New foundation)
And I’m takin’ my new salvation (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, new salvation)
And I’ma build my own foundation, yeah (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby
You won’t break my soul (You won’t)
You won’t break my soul (Break my soul)
You won’t break my soul (You won’t)
You won’t break my soul (Break my soul)
And I’m tellin’ everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody, yeah
If you don’t seek it, you won’t see it
That, we all know (Can’t break my soul)
If you don’t think it, you won’t be it
That love ain’t yours (Can’t break my soul)
Tryin’ to fake it, never makes it
That, we all know (Can’t break my soul)
You can have the stress and not take less
I’ll justify love
We go round in circles, round in circles
Searchin’ for love (Round in circles)
We go up and down, lost and found
Searchin’ for love
Looking for something that lives inside me
Looking for something that lives inside me
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
I’m tellin’ everybody
Tellin’ everybody
Everybody
Everybody
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul, no, no
You won’t break my soul
You won’t break my soul
And I’m tellin’ everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)
Everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)
Everybody
Everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)
I’m takin’ my new salvation
And I’ma build my own foundation, yeah
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New foundation)
I’m takin’ my new salvation (New salvation)
And I’ma build my own foundation, yeah (Own foundation)
I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (Release ya wiggle)
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (Release ya wiggle)
Release ya wiggle
Release ya wiggle
Release ya anger, release ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest
