What was the title of Beyoncé’s 2022 lead single from Renaissance?

The story behind the answer

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

The song was released on June 20, 2022, as the first single from Renaissance, Beyoncé’s seventh studio album. It is an uptempo house and dance track built around a prominent sample of “Show Me Love” by Robin S. and an interpolation of “Explode” by Big Freedia. The production and songwriting credits include Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Terius “The-Dream” Nash, and several other contributors.

“Break My Soul” became Beyoncé’s eighth solo number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also marked her return to the top of that chart after several years and became one of the most visible examples of Renaissance’s club-music influence.

The title is sometimes confused with other Renaissance tracks, especially “Cuff It” and “Alien Superstar.” Those are songs on the same album, but “Break My Soul” was the lead single and the first song released from the project.
