Swag's description of the song:
"The song is weird as hell. Probably the most jarring thing she's done since "Ring The Alarm" in my opinion.
She's definitely taking a risk here. It's a weird dark/tribal/club/urban song. The vocals range from "Telephone" verse vocals, "Diva" verse vocals with a lot of weird vocal effects you can hear throughout the song with the producers playing with the pitch.
It's a club banger x 1000000. Not no corny Lady Gaga/Rihanna **** either. No shade. It's more tribal/urban tinged.
"Girl! WHO RUN THE WOLRD? Girl! We run this MOTHA! GIRL! WHO RUN THIS MOTHA? GIRL!" is the hook/chant.
And there's a weird/goofy little b-section that loops in the song too. She's harmonizing with herself.
There's a part where she is completely rapping/flowing too. I know that sounds crazy, but the song is crazy!
The intro is like some dark Sleigh Bells/Dubstep **** that has some really weird chant before the drums kick in and Bey starts the hook. Definitely an anthem!"
