It's OK to Keep Watching Beyoncé's "Formation" Music Video Over and Over Again

Just a day before hitting the stage at Super Bowl 50 [1], Beyoncé dropped a new song called "Formation" out of nowhere. But that's not all! Along with the song, she also released a new music video exclusively to Tidal with a cameo from her adorable daughter, Blue Ivy Carter [2], and we must say, it's fire! Just take a minute to review the lyrics: "Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess/Paparazzi catch my fly and my cocky fresh/I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress."

In addition to featuring explicit lyrics, the video, which was directed by Beyoncé, takes on black culture and police brutality with a handful of powerful images, including a cop car, a police line, a Southern plantation home, and a shot of graffiti on a wall that reads, "Stop shooting us." But that's not all — we also dug up plenty of other interesting facts [3] that you might not have noticed. Watch the video above now!
