Beyoncé's new single, "Break My Soul," is here.

The upbeat dance track, which was first released on Tidal, begins with a sample from Big Freedia's "Explode" before Beyoncé lays down her vocals.

"Release ya anger/ Release ya mind/ Release ya job/ Release the time/ Release ya trade/ Release ya stress/ Release the love/ Forget the rest," Big Freedia's vocals repeat at multiple times throughout the track.

The new song also features a modified sample of the Robin S. 1993 classic, "Show Me Love."

"Break My Soul" is the first track from the artist's upcoming project, "Renaissance."

News of the release comes after the Grammy-winning artist changed her Instagram and Twitter bios to read, "6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET." Those messages now read, "6. BREAK MY SOUL out now."
