The 40-year-old's new song is already making big music moves. The track's lyric video is already trending on YouTube.
The Beyhive is excited that the Grammy Award winner is venturing into a new music genre.

The fact that she is captured the era of the 80s / early 90s, it's impressive ! Yeeeeeeeees," one YouTube user commented.
