10 Most Empowering Beyoncé Songs

7. Irreplaceable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwViQxSJJQ Before Sasha Fierce was a glimmer in the public eye, Beyoncé was already claiming her turf and extinguishing the controlling nature men can have in relationships. Dismantling any sense of permanence held over women, Beyoncé will not stand for being taken for granted, and neither should you. Though nobody recognized it, Beyoncé was already setting up the feminist-minded attitude we would see fully bloom on her subsequent releases. Never apologising for saying no to a situation that just isn't working gives power to many a listener who may have felt shackled in a bad relationship. The message in Irreplaceable stems from a man's unwillingness to be serious and commit to something good with the non-irreplaceable subject at hand being found out as a lying, cheater scumbag. To cut off every aspect of the man in question is necessary to fully embrace the independence Beyoncé possesses in every situation she seizes. Take action for your own sake as Beyoncé advises, kick his ass to the curb with no apologies and don't blink twice. An exquisite anthem for those who need to shut down abusive or unfulfilled relations.
