T hi jhhhgffhhhshhdhdhdgddgh

Even though this wasn't first single material. I did think the song was cute and felt more authentic than what she gave on her Debut. I really wished she stayed in this lane for awhile.

This was originally her planned lead single for her debut solo album. She was going in a new direction musically for her debut.

She and Mathew were smart though to have it attached to the movie so heavily so they could play it off since it flopped

As much as I liked it, I remember hearing it and thinking "this is....different" it made sense for the Austin Powers soundtrack but wasn't the tea I was expecting from Bey at all.

Watching her sing with a female band sometimes she still gives this vibe though. And a lot of them Deja Vu performances.
