She's been busy being a mother to Blue Ivy for the past year but on Sunday Beyoncé posted a snippet of her new music to her website.
The 31-year-old singer released a recording entitled Bow Down / I Been On, along with a picture of herself as a child,with a room full of trophies behind her.
And the lyrics include the lines: 'I know when you were little girls you dreamt of being in my world. Don’t forget it. Respect that. Bow Down b******.'
The three minute, 34 second clip also includes: 'I took my time to live my life but don’t think I’m just his little wife. Don’t get it twisted this is my sh*t.'
While the new track addresses her absence from the music industry and asserts her authority as Queen Bee of the charts, but the music is already causing controversy and dividing fans.
British fans might be familiar with some of the music in the second portion of the recording, a snippet of which accompanies the 02 Priority adverts filmed to promote the singer's UK tour dates.
Plenty of the Destiny's Child star's fans welcomed the new music with one listener writing: 'Sorry I'm not sorry that @beyonce is a trend-setter and doesn't sound like everyone else. It's about changing the game #beyhive.'
But some fans suggested that the singer hadn't gone far enough and if she was a male music artist she wouldn't be on the end of such criticism.
One fan posted: 'Miss me with the "she's so arrogant" mess. Were she a man, this would scarcely be an issue. Beyonce isn't arrogant enough. #BowDown' (sic)
Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills who tweeted: 'Is that Beyonce song a joke?'
