Obama shared a photo of Beyoncé performing on stage and wrote, “Queen @beyonce, you’ve done it again! “Break My Soul” is the song we all need right now, and I can’t help but dance and sing along while listening to it. Can’t wait for the album!”

“Break My Soul” is the first single of Beyoncé’s new record, “Renaissance.” The album is her seventh and it follows “Lemonade,” released in 2016. “Break My Soul” is a dance song, with a clear disco influence and a message of resilience that people have taken to all over social media, making memes and sharing why it’s the type of song they need in their lives.

“Hey, queen! Girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly,” she said in a video promoting “Homecoming,” Beyoncé’s Netflix film. “I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal.”

Obama then discussed the impact of the documentary, the way in which it was made, and why it’s so important for the Black community. “‘Homecoming’ is informed by the Black leaders, thinkers, and poets who’ve paved the way for folks like us,” she said. “I love that it’s both a celebration and a call to action, and I love that you’re using this film to inspire the next generation of history makers and record breakers who’ll run the world in the years ahead.”

“Renaissance” will be released on July 29th.
