Beyoncé has only released one single from the album - "Break My Soul" - which sampled Robin S.'s '90s house hit "Show Me Love".
Last month, Beyoncé wrote of the Lemonade follow-up, "Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration."
