Beyoncé drops something to get fans hype in the form of a dual snippet track titled, “Bow Down / I Been On,” produced by Hit-Boy, Polow Da Don, Timbaland, and Planet VI. While not confirmed as the first single, the bit of “ratchetness” got the Twittersphere going nuts.
Beyoncé gets a little boastful on the new track, which is slated to appear on her upcoming fifth studio album, which is presently untitled. She is also about to embark on a world tour entitled the Mrs. Carter Show.
















This song is terrible! Im really shocked that she would release this!
I love the fact that Beyonce is doing WTF she wants to do, white America was not expecting that at ALL. She will twerk all the way to the bank with this one.
I think Jay-z is teaching her that she can’t please everyone.
LET’S NOT GET THINGS TWISTED BEYONCE IS NOT DIANA ROSS OR ANY OTHER BOSS………..WHITNEY WAS NOT THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT…………..BUT AT LEAST DIANA AND WHITNEY COULD SING LIVE AND SOUND THE SAME AS THEIR STUDIO AND MIXED MOVIE VOICES…..THEY TALKED, WALKED AND SANG LIKE THEMSELVES WITHOUT COMPUTERIZED STUDIO ENHANCEMENTS.
.
Bitch…. Suck A Dick And Bow Down The Queen Is Back!!! Capitol B Means Bout That Life… Are You?
AND COMPUTERIZED MOVIE ENHANCEMENTS.
TOUCHED-UP AND PROPPED-UP
a beyonce retrospective already….wow…..lol………..still lol
I love Beyonce but these songs should not even be the bonus tracks on the album that people skip through. The voice is amazing as usual but the music here is pretty bad. #keepingitreal
this song must be a done deal because obviously beyonce doesn’t consider the feedback or critique of others….i hope that this is an official song on her new album…..still lol.
No thanks! I’ll pass on this one!
As a Beyonce fan, this seems like a diss to fans over anything else. She addresses women/girls who have looked up to her directly and says to “bow down, bitc*es”. Wow, so glad I didn’t buy tickets to her concert. Really disappointed with this effort.
@ Disappointed fan, I agree with you a bit. I’m a little disappointed that she is telling people that looked up to her to bow down and then referring to them as bitches. It’s one thing to say haters need to bow down. I also feel that she is pretty much saying she is going to do what she wants and has nothing left to prove, but sheesh ease us into it.
I honestly think that people don’t like because it’s not something you’d expect from her. I don’t think she’s dissing her fans, but rather up and coming artists who come in the game and attempt to mimic her, yet talk about her. Because they probably grew up wanting to be in her world (the entertainment industry). By listening to this song, I feel she made it in a playful way embracing her Houston roots w/ the chopped and screwed and just letting loose. However, the public doesn’t take well to conceit. I’m not a Beyonce Stan or super fan, but I do like her.
BEYONCE IS FAKE , FAKE AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEING SPOILED AND GIVEN EVERYTHING BY HER PARENTS , SHE’S SO BORING
What is this?
This song is going to be to her downfall. I can see how her arrogance is going leave a BAD taste in her fans mouths. Bow-down? For real? Beyonce you are only flesh and blood that was overly marketed and programmed for commercialism and record sales. I hope people make a stand and respect themselves by NOT purchasing this single or album. Now bow down to low/no record sales, Beyonce!!! Humbleness goes a looooooooooong way!
I believe these snippets are addressing the negativity she recieves over the years from fans who consistently attempt to put her down. And it’s mostly the women who do it inwhich shes a supporter of. These actions scream jealousy and envy. So to me shes addressing negativity that she recieves doesnt appear shes putting dwn any other artist. Shes saying bow down because if u gone hate then u beneath her anyway. Hate should be beneath everyone so yea i agree bow the hell down since your hateful opinions have u on that lower level of humanity anyway. She hood wit it but i agree! Ppl want her to stop just because shes succesful and I for one wont stop idc how long of a success i have that just makes no sense.
why would she care though she a grown ass woman and a accomplished millionaire!!what she wants for everybody in the world to kiss her ass and worship her?she is a narcissistic crazy evil bitch!this is why mathew knowles never let her do much!
Well you wld be exactly the type of ppl shes referring to. Not that she cares and they snippet pretty much states that she can careless. No matter what she does ppl gone hate and aint no problem in addressing it. Shes also human. Evil or whatever you examine yourself because your hate is just as evil as what u think she is! Hate is beneath her and beneath anyone who’s about positivity which is why shes telling ppl like yourself to bow down since you down there anyway.
This is beyonce trying to be different ? she’s trying to be RIHANNA and she it not sexy or interesting . She is trying to hard .
She is not trying to be Rihanna, Beyonce has been making songs like this BEFORE Rihanna. Examples: “Diva”, “Back Up”, “Ring The Alarm” and etc.
Nope. She’s indeed trying to be Rihanna. With the whole “bad girl” vibe, and all the hip (put together by someone else) outfits + pictures she’s been taking lately (trying too hard ) , trust babe, she’s definitely trying to go into the Rihanna lane. As soon as I heard the song, I thought “Rihanna”, but , thing is, even Rihanna hasn’t put out garbage like this.
Bey is not trying to be Rihanna or anyone CLEARLY like I said before. She BEEN making Confident & Arrogant songs BEFORE a Rihanna. So you are trying to say “Diva” is not a bad girl image/song? Neither “Back Up” or “Ring the Alarm”? You are ignoring my statement.
@ ILoveMusic: Ri has been out since 05.
those songs you listed–RTA(2006) & DIVA( 2008) – came out AFTER 05, AFTER Ri.
Please give examples of Bk’s being hard/gutter/raunchy BEFORE RI.
There are no songs. THERE ARE NO SONGS.
Bk did try this with that song ‘soldier’ with DC and it wasnt well received.
Beyonce all these years HASNT responded so now her doing this song
reeks of desperation. She is trying to get atttn like Ri does but without
cursing out ppl on twitter and doing nude shots on twitter.
Remember bk is managing herself. She failed with 4 and is trying to
get #1 again. That is why is on tumble, did the hbo doc, and all the
contrived bs we see.
bk needs to stop.
JUST SHUTUP AND SING.
adele doesnt play game and she slays.
aretha doesnt play games and she slays.
celine doesnt play games and she salys.
adele aretha celine are the real queens.
@JOKES your right she is trying to seem different like Rih, but beyonce is not humble and real like Rihanna thats why ppl like rihanna .She’s not the sheltered faker attempting something new .
I JUST LOVE B!!! SHE STILL ON TOP !!
its fun, people take things too serious now.,
THANK YOU!!!
It’s not funny. It’s just a horrible song.
lol oh boy ….
Beyonce… Chick must be bored lol. Seems like she’s running out of ideas at this point to stay relevant. She needs to sit down somewhere like yesterday!
beyonce please go sit the f down somewhere your terrible ho!yall surprised she been terrible and arrogant since after crazy in love and she thinks she is god and been thinking it and the stans been gassing her up and fighting anybody with negative feedback on her!so bowdown to her like she said!aint that what yall always do anyway!obey stans!
Just No.
she is disturbing me with how evil and arrogant she is she def worships satan without a doubt,she is the most fake evil arrogant bitch there is really?telling her fans that have supported her through out all her wackness and damn near ready to throw down for her gonna say bow down to her like they aint shit?and that what the naysayers kept tellin yall what we say?she dont give a shit bout yall she just wants yall money and for u to bow to herand worship her.what yall fools get for supporting this disgusting satanic bitch she would sacrifice yall to satan if she could.
Beyonce is talking to her haters not to you girls. She’s tryna let yLl know that if someome tries to oppress u, fight back. Have rights and noone should take that away from u.
She sounds desperate.

nobody cares about there fav singer or any celebrity enough to care whether beyonce is slaying them or not just you .anybody care about celebrities they dont know beside the cliche beyonce stan ?anybody?guess not its just you .
Do you know how stupid and lifeless you sound?
Why do people make comments like this? Nobody is trying to take away your opinion, just giving their own. This shit irks me.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ON HERE BELIEVE THAT BEYONCE IS MARRIED TO JAY-Z?
OK.
AND THE MRS. CARTER SHOW CONTINUES.
IT TAKES ONE TO NO ONE.
May I ask what do you mean?
LOL GREAT question lol.
Some more wack ass shit from Beyonce…. Next
Her version of “Pour It Up”.
one major reason why rihanna probably did this song…plus she thinks that she’s that chick too….at the end of the day….beyonce can blame her disdain for rihanna on the person who signed her.
i purposely don’t try to provide too much information because i don’t want to help this cause.
I like Beyonce as a person but I don’t really care for her music anymore. This song is horrible. I thought she was going to bring it this time but guess I was wrong. Hope her other songs are better!
someone on here is trying to get their comment and those of others removed from this site and post by using profanity.
This song sounds like a duet with Satan lol….or as Beyonce calls him when he enters her body, “Sasha Fierce”. I would like to hear what this song is saying when it’s backmasked. What’s interesting is that even though this song is obviously horrendous, it may actually become a hit looking at how terrible some of her other songs have been that have become hits. Sometimes these artists release test songs like this to see how the populace will react, so that they can see if they can go even further with their idolatry agenda. Jay-Z was forced to relent and cop a plea on some of his “HOVA” rhetoric when the satan-worshiping accusations got to be too much for him to ignore. Beyonce seems to have put this out in an attack on some of these other black female entertainers (because she obviously is not addressing white females in entertainment), and also as a subliminal innuendo to her fans to worship her as their “Queen B” a.k.a. the Mother Goddess Demeter. If the reaction is poor, she’ll claim she was just playing in the studio. Why would an internationally famous 30 something year old female (who sang for the UNITED NATIONS) make a song called “Bow Down b!tches” lol…..and these are the same females that want to circulate shirts to stop black men from flirting with them and “disrespecting” them allegedly…..
Judah,
arent u tired of always being right smh? ( sarcasm)
u already predicted that after reaching her thirties she would be done. I guess she trying to compete with Rihanna. I know some people will still call you crazy with your, even though she proudly displays her baphomet ring on stage. anyway like u said her people wont allowed her to fail, just like madonna , lady gaga, etc
Sorry this made me laugh too hard you said a duet with satan and I lost it …. you are too funny and need to write for someones site. I cannot stop laughing. Good one
@Judah–Beyawnce sang for the United Nations? Well, now that says something. People need to educate themselves about this so-called “united” nations organization.
I think bey made this for all her haters. Shes tired of people coming for her. People like when you dont speak your mind other women are harsh. I cant stand other women and how we treat other women. Bey had enough so I need anyone who doesnt like B to BOW DOWN
nobody will ever bow down to her except her fans she gives you guys garbage like this and tell you to bow down and you do it!!the beyonce cult is in full effect!you crazy fools are drinking the kool aid of satan.
Beyonce is one of the most if not the most respected females in R&B/Pop music. She is not only successful in the urban community, but commercially accepted and successful in the non-urban markets. Her haters are limited to few. She made this for other reasons than “haters”, I’m sure her paycheck is enough to void the haterization. As Rihanna’s image and material has gotten a little more swagged out/urban, I can only assume that this was a direct competitor to her. I’m just saying.
Okay…This is what I don’t get and I need you to help me overstand this… You said, “so I need anyone who doesnt like B to BOW DOWN.”
Why do U need these ppl to BOW DOWN? What does it do for you? Is there money involved, like a big payout you’ll receive? A great orgasm you’re anticipating? Will you get to play with Blue’s toys? I mean…Do you at least get a pat on the head? Will you be given a Baphomet ring in their honor?
Please share because it could be something that I NEED in my life. It must be rewarding if you “NEED” certain ppl to “BOW DOWN” to this woman.
lmao @ “Why do U need these ppl to BOW DOWN? What does it do for you? Is there money involved, like a big payout you’ll receive? A great orgasm you’re anticipating? Will you get to play with Blue’s toys? I mean…Do you at least get a pat on the head? Will you be given a Baphomet ring in their honor?”
This song sounds like a duet with S*atan lol….or as Beyonce calls him when he enters her body, “S*asha Fierce”. I would like to hear what this song is saying when it’s backmasked. What’s interesting is that even though this song is obviously horrendous, it may actually become a hit looking at how terrible some of her other songs have been that have become hits. Sometimes these artists release test songs like this to see how the populace will react, so that they can see if they can go even further with their idolatry agenda. Jay-Z was forced to relent and cop a plea on some of his “H0VA” rhetoric when the s*atan-worshiping accusations got to be too much for him to ignore.

The picture she chose thats funny. Basically saying I was a bad ish since I was young.
I believe that picture was enhanced with those trophies…just thought you should know.
kelly is that you?
if she thinks she is so bad why is she so desperate?why does she want us to worship her?anybody who still likes beyonce gotta be crazy

it’s getting late……….past most bedtime.
why you a hater though. Go head to bed and stop worrying about her fans. Bey keep yall shook. That was her purpose of this song. Her HATERS. Now bow before going to sleep
why are you and why should beyonce be soo worried about haters…..are they out there?
I am sorry I am not being sarcastic but who is shook I am lost. as to who is supposed to be shook. I do think this is her response to her critics. However there are some people who are not fans or haters or critics they just dont buy her stuff. I know some people hate but songs addressed to haters never work. they will just find something else to hate on. That is why you pick and choose your battles wisely. I honestly think her accomplishments, status and name power stands for it self. I am not a fan but I like when she shuts people down by her performances like the superbowl. I love that. But this is stooping to the level of keri hilson when she “went off” on record… I do not think beyonce will end her career but its shows immaturity. The lyrics argue things no one says… u said mrs carter tour who mistaked her for being jay wife and that is it?? I never heard people who hate her say that???? Any way.. I just thought it was funny how her fans are so worked up and crunk!? What did you all prove together? Lol. Beyonce is good at making her fans feel on board good job. I just now there will be a whole bunch of female celebs throwing “unknown no name” jabs… the cycle continues… entertainment and relevance at its finest.
I had to change my name from bstanish to bey_beautiful I dont want people thinking Im a crazy bey fan.
Ummm…Sorry too late, Dear.
LMAO
come on beyonce stop trying to appeal to the young generation… i mean i know these types of dumb songs are whats “hot” right now… but u ain’t about that life… this song actually sucks.
Everyone needs to calm down and lighten up. Beyonce would never release this as a first single. It’s not even a whole song. It’s 2 snippets of 2 songs put together. She definitely released this for the fans.
LMFAO!!! What do you Beyoncé bashers want her to do??? She creates pop music, y’all don’t like it, she create R&B music, y’all don’t like it, she creates gangsta hip-hop… y’all still don’t like it! I’m surprised to hear music like this from Beyoncé. She’s too classy and classic to create such urban, gritty music, but when Rihanna releases ghetto sh–, idiots praise it; makes no sense. I am looking for a Sasha Fierce part 2 with more exotic sounds.
I like beyonce but i think she trying too hard, this doesnt seem natural for her just very forced, sorry beyonce stans shoot me now……..
YOU NO YOU PEOPLE ARE REALLY CRAZY. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS THE WHOLE SONG THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SONGS SHE WAS JUST GIVING US A TASTE. EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT HER AND THE DEVIL. BUT SHE ALWAYS TALKS FREELY ABOUT GOD SHE DID THAT ON HER HBO DOCUMENTARY THAT SHE JUST SHOWED. SOME PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING THE SECOND THEY CAME OUT WITH THAT ILLUMINATI SHIT EVERYONE BELIEVED IT. IF I NEW HOW TO TWERK A CAMARA AND FOOTAGE AND MAKE AND GREAT BUT NO TRUE MOVIE OR VIDEO AND I PUT IT ON THE WEB HALF OF YA DUMB ASS WOULD BELIEVE IT. DAMN LET THE GIRL BREATH I MEAN YA LET THE PAPS AND THE MAGAZINES AND THESE BLOGGS REALLY MAKE YA THINK THAT EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS TRUE HALF OF THE SHIT IS NOT TRUE ITS JUST SOME SHIT THEY PUT TOGETHER SO THEY CAN MAKE MONEY DO YOU THINK THEY CARE WHO THE HURT OR WHO IT EFFECTS NO. IM HAPP FOR WHOM EVERY SHE IS AND AFRICA AMERICAN WOMAN DOING IT FOR OUR PEOPLE. SHE SHOWS YOU HOW TO DO IT SORRY SHE DOES ALOT OF THINGS THE RIGHT WAY DATE FIRST GET MARRIED HAVE A CHILD. ALOT OF THESE WOMAN IN THE INDUSTRY ARE MADE UP BUT SHE IS SO HUMBLE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. EVERYON HAS THE RIGHT TO HAVE THERE OWN OPINION BUT WE ALO SHOULD NO THAT AL OF THIS STUFF THEY FEED US ON THE WEB AND MAGAZINES IT FALSE AND NOT TRUE. IF HALF OF YA HAD THE CHANCE TO DO WHAT SHE IS DOING AND BE WHAT SHE IS YOU ALL WOULD JUMP ON IT. BUT SINCE YOUR NOT YOU ALL SIT AROUND AND BASH HER AND HATE.
beyonce is that you?
LOL
NOPE MY NAME IS ADRIENNE AND WHY DOES IT MATTER WHO IT IS WHY THE HELL WOULD SHE HAVE TO GET ON A WEB SITE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO US. YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY
lmao… i can’t believe you answered…. that’s crazy
Not my cup of tea but it definitly can stick to my head with all the repeatings
Oh… didn’t listen to the whole song until just now… boring…
Why is everyone so surprised by this? Her show is called the Mrs. Carter Tour and from her Instagram photo she been showing her more good side lol….these snippets are clearly directed at the people that even after everything she has done in her career are still haters. Bey has always thrown shade on the low if you know anything about her, but just like the Obama’s recently she just came out and said it this time lol. If you don’t like it move on but these songs did exactly what she wanted and that got people talking and let all the girls now she is still here and not going anywhere…you notice Keyshia said something about not Bey or even Kelly but the most irrelevant Child of Destiny Michelle. Why is it ok for other girls to put out a diss track and not Bey…she has done enough now to do whateva she wants to and that’s exactly what she’s doin…in her words Any Questions? Lol
I meant *hood side*
LLLOOOOLLL!!! I love it!!!!
Greetings from a home grown Houstonian,
To all of you whom are ignorant to the customs and culture of the great metropolis in which Beyonce has so eloquently paid homage to, if you would just pause the hatred as she expresses love for her southern culture! This track is not for everyone, it is however for those of us who relate to the uniquem unmatched lyrics of the likes of DJ Skrew, UGK, the Ghetto boys, and the list goes on. So in the words of that H-town chic who has been “On” (who gone take her off?), Bow Down bitches!!!!!
Just a little southern hospitality for all you HATERS!
dont make houston look bad like that.
@ Southern Female
I can see why the caucasians in that city round you Houston negroes up like animals and incarcerate you or give you the gas chamber. You’re an idiot.
I am from Houston born and raised. Not everyone here is feeling the same. Houston is not like that. She gave props to her city. 97.9 the box of course will praise it. However there are some people who are not fans or haters or critics they just dont buy her stuff. I know some people hate but songs addressed to haters never work. So please stop acting like one person from Houston can rep and speak for us all.
The lyrics argue things no one says… u said mrs carter tour beyonce…wtf? who mistaked her for being jay lil wife?? I never heard people who hate her say that???? she only repping a hood attitude cause her husband comes from the hood this has Jayz God like vibe all over it. She and destiny’s child went pop soooo hard now you hood? This is not loyalty to Houston, this girl is going what sells.
What did you all prove together a her fans? Lol. Beyonce is good at making her fans feel on board good job. Maybe she can say this but how you hyped on her success and telling people to bow to her …what do you get in return???? LOL the song is her just going off she does not need cosigners…. I find it funny that the dream and neyo who get paid by her don’t even go that hard on her …saying BOW DOWN TO HER BLAh blah … the fans though are so scary. I don’t even mind Beyonce …. the fans are the ones that take her words and run and buck, attack people behind a keyboard. This is houston tx…. everyone here is not ghetto and everyone here is not a stan. Great she said mentioned Houston but its not her attacking your haters and you getting paid… LOL.

i peeped the jhene aiko track on here truth she is speaking a humble talented gorgeous artist who cant even get no shine yet this horrible ass satan worshipper with wack music can pop her coochie in our face with no end in sight and with bad music that we have to let grow on us or basically get brainwashed into liking im tired of her and others like her down with the music industry of satan!
you better preach!
ALL YALL HATERS ARE MAD. YOU LOOK AT BEYONCE AND WISH YOU COULD BE HER. SHE’S RIGHT..BOWN DOWN….YALL MAD SHE’S NOT HUMBLE ABOUT BEING THE QUEEN ANYMORE……REAL TALK…IT’S ABOUT RESPECT. SHE’S NOT TALKING TO HER FANS SHE’S TALKING TO HER HATERS.
LMAO! and what do you get boo? the opportunity to d*** ride her …. Let this girl bump her gums … solange ain’t even this hype!!! These fans on her are typing like they crying behind the keyboard saying ” yeah she showed yall” Haters! its bey season, meanwhile your mom yells for your to get off the computer so she can use it…. what do you have accomplished where you feel your align with her???? Her fans talk more s*** than her … beyonce is the one I dont even mind …. damn who can blame her for using the words bow down, look at her fans… they are screaming and hyped. its one thing when you talk bs about your team in a sport but these fans take her lyrics to heart like they have something in common…. I am laughing so hard at the emotions though…. LOL! Rap battles were not this bad
Owwww! love it work it!
rihanna been done took ya off bitch!
somehow I hear fantasia in the background
What is this crap? I’d never thought I see the day Beyonce started copying Rihanna. If this is a taste of what’s to come, no thank you.
more devil worshiping music my ppl wake up and repent
well there’s no one else to copy?! she’s copied tina turner, jlo, shakira, diana, not kelly rowland….so on to rihanna!?
who’s on here trying to get beyonce to copy cher???
I think we are sumliminal throwing shade to her peers, I say clap back on her ass girls. If you can dish it you damn sure better be able to take it. It’s funny how this is put out there after Keri’s and Keyshia’s twitter beefs about her.
