16 Beyoncé Songs That Express Our Joy Right Now Over Her Pregnancy Announcement
Unless you have been living under a mother-freakin’ rock, you have by now heard the first good news of 2017: Our Lord and Savior Queen Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is pregnant with twins. No, your emotions are all over the place.
There is really only one appropriate reaction to news of this magnitude, and that is to listen to a lot of Beyoncé (and Destiny’s Child) songs, ASAP. These are the 16 that cover the wide range of emotions we are currently feeling. (Note: There aren’t any tracks from Lemonade on here—but these babies are not lemons, they are pure goodness here to sweeten a so far sour year.)
“Love on Top,” the song she used to announce her first blesséd child, Blue Ivy
“XO,” because in the darkest night, we search through the crowd for Bey and her happiness
“Happy Face,” yes, we are happy on this day.
“Flawless,” in honor of two more strong feminist Carter babies in the world
“Party,” because if this news isn’t worth having an at-your-desk mini-party, what is?
“Diva,” because twins!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!! No, we have no right to be freaking out this much—we don’t know this woman—but whatever, it’s happening. Let us enjoy this!
“End of Time,” not only for the song but the dancing that happens when this song comes on
“7/11,” because Beyoncé’s pregnancy is fresher than yours
“Baby Boy,” because what if one of the babies is a boy? Gender is a construct but still! What if?
“Bootylicious,” in honor of her Insta-announcement, and honestly, we were not ready for this jelly.

“Halo,” for love
“Crazy in Love,” because we are with this news
“Lose My Breath,” because for a second we couldn’t breathe because, guys, Beyoncé is having twins
“Feeling Myself,” because wouldn’t you kill to (we hope) have Nicki Minaj as a godmother?
The entirety of Dreamgirls, because life is but a dream
“Countdown,” perhaps the only song that truly expresses our joy. Congratulations to the happy couple!
