Beyoncé, the global icon and one of the most influential artists of the last two decades, has dropped a new piece, ‘Grown Woman’, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her self-titled album. The track, produced by the stellar trio of Timbaland, Jerome Harmon, and Beyoncé herself, is now available for streaming.

Beyonce Grown Woman

Beyoncé’s music, characterized by her confident, boss-babe mentality, has been topping the charts and winning hearts worldwide. Her influence extends beyond her music, shaping the generation with her personality and ethos. The self-titled record, released in 2013, stands as a testament to her impact.

Ironically, the album celebrates its 10th anniversary today, and Beyoncé is marking the occasion in a grand manner. During the album’s rollout, each track was accompanied by a music video, with three additional ones. ‘Grown Woman’ was chosen for the visuals, but the audio was not included in the initial release. Today, that changes as the track is now available on streaming platforms.

The song was first teased in a Pepsi commercial in April 2013, according to Uproxx. The powerful message it carries sees Beyoncé discussing her growth and evolution. Now that she’s grown, she feels empowered to conquer any objective, a sentiment that resonates deeply with her life journey.

Listen, stream, read the lyrics, and buy the song to join in the celebration of a decade of Beyoncé’s self-titled album.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I remember being young and so brave (Ooh)
I knew what I needed (Ooh)
I was spending all my nights and days (Ooh)
Laid back day dreamin’ (Ooh, day dreamin’, dreamin’, day dramin’)
Look at me, I’m a big girl now
Said I’m gon’ do somethin’ (Ooh)
Told the world I would paint this town
Now betcha I run this (Ah)

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
‘Cause I put it down like that (Yeah), d-down like that
And I’m making all these racks (Yeah), a-all these racks
And I’m moving round like that (Yeah), r-round like that
When I do it, I don’t look back, d-don’t look back

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I’m a grown woman (Mm)
I can do whatever I want (Mm, hm, hm)
I’m a grown woman (Yeah; I’m a grown woman)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want; hey)
I can be bad if I want (Mhm)
I can say what I want (Mhm)
I can live fast if I want (Mhm)
I can go slow all night long (Mhm)
I’m a grown woman (But of course; yeah)
I can do whatever I want (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
They love the way I walk (Ooh)
‘Cause I walk with a vengeance (Ooh)
And they listen to me when I talk (Ooh)
‘Cause I ain’t pretendin’ (Ooh)
It took a while, now I understand
Just where I’m goin’ (Ooh)
I know the world and I know who I am
It’s ’bout time I show it (Ah)

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I’m a grown woman (I’m a grown woman; yeah)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want; mhm)
I’m a grown woman (I’m a grown woman; yeah)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want; of course)
I can be bad if I want (Mhm)
I can say what I want (Mhm)
I can live fast if I want (Mhm)
I can go slow all night long (Mhm)
I’m a grown woman (But of course; yeah)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want; whatever it is)

[Verse 3: Beyoncé]
I’m a grown woman (Grown)
And I know that I got it (Got it, got it)
I’m a grown woman (Grown)
Ain’t got no room in my pockets (Ah)
I’m a grown woman (Grown)
Look down, got you so excited (Ah)
I really wanna know if you got it like that
‘Cause you got a cute face and that booty so fat
Go, girl (Go, girl), she got that bomb, that bomb
That girl (That girl) can get whatever she wants
That girl (That girl), she got that tight, that tight
Them boys (Them boys), will do whatever she likes
I’m a grown woman
