Beyoncés Formation is one of her most popular songs but it is so much more than just a song. As a very big Beyoncé fan, she oozes confidence in everything she does, especially in her music. Formation is no different. It’s easy to listen to a song and disregard the words being said. When you take a close look at the lyrics you can see Beyoncé instilling confidence and power in women. The music video does this on an even greater scale. Women of all ages are primarily featured throughout the video. Beyoncé herself is depicted in a variety of settings with both men and women surrounding her. However, Beyoncé is the center of attention and the men standing by her side know this. In other words, Beyoncé is a badass. She knows her worth and is extremely confident in herself and her abilities. She is an icon. Formation is just one of several tracks that empowers women in a variety of ways. Something I have always admired about Beyoncé is that to me, she intertwines music with social justice almost flawlessly. Haters will always be there to judge and pick apart her lyrics and music videos but at the end of the day, she doesn’t care one bit. Music can be an extremely powerful tool. It can bring people together from all backgrounds and all walks of life.
