Beyonce has told MTV she loved recording angry new track ‘Ring The Alarm’ coz it let her get inside the head of all those peed-off ladies out there. In the track Bey shouts at a fictional philandering boyfriend: “I been through this too long, but I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm”.

Talking about the ferocious, near bunny boiler of a track, she said, “It’s about someone who’s kind of gone mad, and is really aggressive and passionate. The one thing I wanted with this album was more passion in things - topics that are honest and real.”

She went on, “This album is a little more innovative than the first and it’s for every woman. I brought in a lot of help so I could write songs about things I might not be going through right now but that other women could say ‘Oh, that’s my life, this is my life. Women need to hear songs that make them feel empowered.”
