Beyoncé dropped “Break My Soul,” the first single from her upcoming album Renaissance and it is no surprise that the song instantly became a trending topic.

Fans instantly made comparisons to Drake’s latest dance LP Honestly, Nevermind since “Break My Soul” veers into the genre as well.

The track was produced by Beyoncé, The-Dream, and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart. Additionally credited co-writers include Jay-Z, Adam “BlaqNmilD” Pigott, Big Freedia, Allen George, and Fred McFarlane.

“Break My Soul” is the first original song since she released the Oscar-nominated track “Be Alive” last year. Renaissance is out July 29.

Take a look at fan reactions:

  Kinda love the fact Beyonce ensured she provided an official soundtrack for The Great Resignation. #BreakMySoul is a great way to introduce us to the vibes of Renaissance.

  Thank you Beyoncé and Drake for giving the kids some culture and reminding us all that house music is black music.
