I hope you're ready to shine already because it's time already, thus said Beyoncé. On Thursday night, the 38-year-old singer dropped the melanin-infused music video for her song "Already," and it's everything you'd expect from Queen Bey: gorgeous outfits, mesmerising choreography, and nods to African culture. Bey is joined by featured artist Shatta Wale as they sing and dance amid a giant party that I, for one, would have loved to attend. The track, originally included on Beyoncé's 2019 LP The Lion King: The Gift [1], is now on the record's new deluxe version [2].

The video for "Already" was released just hours before Beyoncé's visual album Black Is King premiered on Disney+ [3]. The project, inspired by Disney's The Lion King and music from Bey's The Lion King: The Gift, follows the story of a young king who is cast out from his family [4] and goes on a journey to rediscover his inherent power. The hour-and-a-half film also features appearances from stars such as Beyoncé's husband JAY-Z, 8-year-old daughter Blue Ivy [5], and 3-year-old twins Sir and Rumi [6], as well as Tina Lawson, Kelly Rowland [7], Naomi Campbell [8], and Lupita Nyong'o. Check out the visuals for "Already" above, then watch Black Is King for clear skin and spiritual rejuvenation [9]!
