               Beyoncé's Single "Standing On The Sun" leaks online-  Check it out here!
Beyonce


Get ready, Beyhive!
Beyoncé's latest single has just leaked online and it's bound to be the next summer anthem.
"Standing on the Sun" is an upbeat, tropical melody that has the singer belting sexy lyrics such as, "Feel like I'm on fire when you touch me," and "My body is yours tonight."
The tune is all about sunshine, beaches and love—sounds perfect for the season!

Beyoncé has already performed the new song during the Belgium stop of her Mrs. Carter World Tour back in May.
The track has also been featured in her summer campaign commercials for H&M, which were released in March.
Partnering up with H&M was an exciting experience for the Grammy-winning singer.
"I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion," she said in a statement. "I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements—fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial."
The 31-year-old was shown in multiple ensembles ranging from swimsuits to rompers for her ads with the major retail chain.

The clothing giant said this about working with the superstar. "Beyoncé was our first choice for the campaign and we were delighted when she said yes. Our purpose has always been to portray Beyoncé as the strong and beautiful woman she is. It has been a good working process and a close cooperation. Both parties are happy with the images."

This isn't the first time new music has leaked for the singer. While her album has yet to receive a release date, fans have already gotten snippets of soon-to-be hits from Queen Bey.
In May, her song "Grown Woman" was leaked in full online after the singer performed the song for the first time on the Paris stop of her tour.
"Grown Woman" was also featured in her Pepsi commercial , which was aired for the first time on April 4.
The special date also marked her 5th wedding anniversary to Jay-Z.
