Beyoncé has returned today with the surprise release of new single “Formation,” dropped along with its accompanying visuals. The track comes ahead of her guest appearance on this year’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show with Coldplay.
According to Pitchfork, the track was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and co-written by Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee. The lyrics again focus on Queen Bey slaying, and there plenty of meme-worthy standouts but perhaps the best one is when she says “I got hot sauce in my bag, swag.” The video has several allusions to Louisiana and her Creole lineage, with amazing costume design plus a very memorable choreography.
