"Break My Soul" is a house jam where Beyoncé refuses to let the stresses of work and the pandemic era break her soul. She quits her job, steps outside, and takes in the positive energy.
"Break My Soul" samples the synth melody from Robin S's 1990 house-pop hit "Show Me Love." Other artists who have sampled that classic single include: Jason Derulo for his 2011 hit "Don't Wanna Go Home." Kid Ink on his 2013 cut "Show Me." Dutch DJ Sam Feldt's 2015 remake of the same title. A slowed-down deep-house version featuring vocals from Kimberly Anne, it peaked at #4 on the UK singles chart. Charli XCX for her 2022 track "Used To Know Me."
The song also contains a vocal sample lifted from New Orleans bounce veteran Big Freedia's 2014 track "Explode." This is not the first time Big Freedia has appeared on a Beyoncé tune. She previously provided a spoken interlude on Lemonade's lead single, "Formation."
