Beyoncé Be Alive

If there is an artist who knows how to light up a soundtrack, it is Beyoncé. The ultra-private superstar has added her name to the list of New Music Friday releases with “Be Alive,” a track that is slated for inclusion on the King Richard soundtrack. The film stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the dedicated dad to tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams.

During a recent press conference, Smith recalled the moment he was taken aback by Richard Williams. It was many years ago when a 14-year-old Serena was being interviewed and when the host attempted to break her, Richard stepped in a took control.

“The look of Venus’ face…that image burned in my heart because that’s how I wanted my daughter to look when I showed up,” said Smith. “That interview really changed my parenting at that time. It was like the look on Venus’ face…it was like she had a lion and she was so confident and so comfortable that her lion wasn’t going to let anything happen to her.”

“I fell in love with Richard Williams—that was 20 something years ago and when the opportunity to be a part of this came up that was the first thing that I remembered. I knew I wanted to show a father protecting a daughter like that to the world.” Stream Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from the King Richard soundtrack and leave your thoughts.

“Be Alive” is Beyoncé’s first single since “Black Parade” in 2020 and serves as the Original Song from the Motion Picture “King Richard”.

The anthemic track lyrically draws inspiration from the Williams sisters & their father Richard Williams story explored in King Richard and her own story of triumph.

The production leans towards a mix of R&B and Rock with similar elements to “Five To One” by The Doors that has been infamously sampled in her husband JAY-Z’s “Takeover” as well as featured during Beyoncé’s last four tours mixed with “Ring The Alarm”.

Lyrics

[Intro]
It feels so good to be alive
Got all my family by my side
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried
That’s why I lift my head with pride

[Verse 1]
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I go
The path was never paved with gold (Gold)
We worked and built this on our own (Own)

[Pre-Chorus]
And can’t nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we’ve been fighting to stay alive
So when we win, we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried?
How hard we had to fight?

[Chorus]
It feels so good to be alive (It feels so, so, so, so good)
Got all my sisters by my side (I got all my sisters by my side)
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried (Black off if I tried)
That’s why I lift my head with pride
Now we’re sitting on top of the world again, huh

[Verse 2]
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I’ll go (They want to see how far I’ll go)
The path was never paved with gold (No)
We fought and built this on our own (We fought and built this on our own, own)

[Pre-Chorus]
And can’t nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we’ve been fighting to stay alive
So when we win, we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried?
How hard we had to fight?

[Chorus]
It feels so good to be alive (It feels so good, so good)
Got all my family by my side (And we gon’ sit on top of the world again)
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried (And I wouldn’t trade nothin’, and I wouldn’t trade nothin’)
That’s why I lift my head with pride (So baby, lift your head, yeah)
It feels so good to be alive (Darling, it’s a celebration for you, yeah)
I got the tribe all by my side (You’re doin’ everything they said you couldn’t do)
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried
That’s why I lift my head with pride (Lift your head, yeah)

[Outro]
Woo!
(Ooh)
(Ooh, I tried)
(Oh!)
