The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s 2022 lead single from Renaissance was “Break My Soul.”

Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records released “Break My Soul” on June 20, 2022, as the lead single from Beyoncé’s seventh studio album, Renaissance. The song combines house music with elements associated with New Orleans bounce and includes a vocal sample from Robin S.’s 1993 hit “Show Me Love.”

“Break My Soul” became Beyoncé’s eighth solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and her first solo song to top that chart since “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in 2008. It also became a major anthem associated with resilience, release, and dance-floor energy.

The song’s co-writers and producers included Beyoncé, Jay-Z, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, and Terius “The-Dream” Nash among others. Renaissance was released on July 29, 2022, and later won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.
