Which single led Beyoncé’s 2022 album Renaissance?

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

The song was released on June 20, 2022, ahead of Renaissance, which followed on July 29. It marked Beyoncé’s return to a traditional solo album campaign after several years of visually driven releases and collaborative projects. The track is built around dance, house, and disco influences, with prominent vocal and musical references to earlier club music.

“Break My Soul” features vocals from Beyoncé and a credited appearance by rapper Big Freedia. Its production also incorporates material associated with Robin S’s 1993 song “Show Me Love” and the 2000 song “Explode” by Big Freedia. Those connections helped place the single within a broader history of dance-floor music.

The song became Beyoncé’s eighth solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It is often confused with “Cuff It,” another Renaissance track that became a major hit after the album’s release.
