The clip features several costume changes and dance breaks for Beyoncé, plenty of references to how much Queen Bey slays (as if we didn't already know), a powerful image of the words "stop shooting us" written on a wall and a smiling Blue Ivy.

To promote the surprise track, Beyoncé posted several images on Instagram shortly after its release. Three of the pictures, posted side-by-side, show Bey and a long line of dancers all striking a pose.
