Beyoncé has surprised fans by dropping a new single, My House, to celebrate the release of her concert movie.
The Break My Soul singer, who is no stranger to surprise-releasing her music, dropped My House to coincide with Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé being released in cinemas on Friday.
The fast-talking song appears in the credits of the film, a part-documentary and part-concert experience that revisits her Renaissance World Tour, which concluded in October.
To celebrate its release, Beyoncé attended the premiere of the movie in London’s Leicester Square on Thursday night with her 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
The star-studded guest list included Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, will.i.am and Beyoncé’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams.
According to BBC News, the Crazy in Love singer urged the audience to “dance, sing, laugh and cry” and “feel free to feel” as they watched the movie.
Elsewhere in her introduction, Beyoncé dedicated the film to her uncle Johnny, who died near the start of her career from an AIDS-related illness.
“I’m really proud this film is coming out on December 1st, World AIDS Day, in honour of Uncle Johnny,” she said, to a round of applause from the crowd.
After the London event, the superstar changed into an elaborate diamond and pearl-encrusted bodysuit and went to Harry’s Bar in Mayfair with her husband Jay-Z.
