Not
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, every woman got one
Oh, shut it down when the time comes
Oh, so pull out the big guns
Oh, and put your freakum dress on
Soon as he saw me
Turned on by how the dress was fittin' right
Short and backless (backless, backless)
See my silhouette in the moonlight
Such an attraction
Keep tellin' me how my outfit's so nice
Little did he know
Ha, my man gon' take it off tonight, oh
'Cause when he act wrong, that's when you put it on (oh, oh)
Get him uptight, this is your song (oh, oh)
Hold out your back, time to impress (oh, oh)
Pull out your freakum dress
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, every woman got one
Oh, shut it down when the time comesOh, pull out the big guns
Oh
Ladies and gentleman
Give it up for Bibi
Bibi, take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Where my ladies? Freakum, freakum
When you put it on it's an invitation
When they play your song, get on up and shake it (yeah)
Work it out your back, you don't have to waste it
Spin it all around then take it to the ground and
When you put it on it's an invitation (hey)
When they play your song, get on up and shake it (hey)
Work it out your back, you don't have to waste it (hey)
Spin it all around then take it to the ground and (ooh)
'Cause when he act wrong, that's when you put it on (hey)
Get him uptight, this is your song

Oh, put your freakum dress on
I got my freakum dress on (oh)
"Freakum Dress" by Beyoncé describes the moment when a woman puts on her best dress, her “freakum dress,” to impress a man who has been acting up. In the beginning, Beyoncé sets the scene as she “fixes her hair” and asks for her dress. She’s ready to go out and show off her best look for her man. She knows it’s been a while since she’s had some real fun and is ready to take the night by storm. She is confident in her choices and is sure that her dress will turn the eyes of anyone who sees her.
Beyonce goes on to explain how women should embrace their “freakum dress” as every woman has one. It’s the dress that accentuates all the right curves in all the right places. The dress that will shut down every room when you get there. As she states, it’s time to pull out your “big guns” and show the world what you’ve got! It’s your chance to be comfortable in your own skin, feel empowered and show everyone that you’re confident in yourself.
Overall, “Freakum Dress” by Beyoncé is an anthem of female empowerment, encouraging women to embrace and flaunt their sexuality confidently.
Line by Line Meaning
To be or not to be
Considering whether or not to do something
Not!
Deciding not to do it
Hold up, bring the beat back
Asking to repeat the music
Stop! I ain't ready yet
Requesting a pause to get prepared
Wait! Let me fix my hair, yes, yes
Wanting to fix one's appearance
Yes ma'am, yes ma'am
Agreeing and acknowledging
Now pass me my dress, yes
Asking for someone to give the dress
I think I'm ready
Feeling confident to do something
Been locked up in the house way too long
Staying indoors for too much time
It's time to get it
Thinking it's time to do something
'Cause once again he's out doing wrong
Because someone is misbehaving again
And my girls are so real
Having supportive female friends
Said it's been a minute since I had some
A long time without having fun
He's been actin' up
Misbehaving
But he won't be the only one
Not letting someone misbehave alone
'Cause when he acts wrong, that's when you put it on
Wearing a special dress to get someone's attention
Get him uptight, this is your song
Making someone interested and excited
Hold out your back, time to impress
Presenting oneself in a charming way
Pull out your freakum dress
Wear a special outfit to be sexy
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Wear the special outfit
Every woman got one
Every woman has a special outfit
Shut it down when the time comes
Stunning everyone with the special outfit
Pull out the big guns
Using the best resources
All the ladies, you ain't these
Encouraging all the ladies to do it
All dressed up in your dresses
Wearing fancy clothes
And your bestest with no reason
Trying to look the best without a particular reason
Get ready to freakum, freakum
Getting ready to be sexy and impress
When you put it on it's an invitation
Wearing the special outfit to invite someone's attention
When they play your song, get on up and shake it
Dancing and enjoying the moment
Work it out your back, you don't have to waste it
Proving oneself attractive and capable
Spin it all around then take it to the ground and
Moving around attractively
Soon as he saw me
As soon as he laid eyes on me
Turned on by how the dress was fittin' right
Finding the dress attractive
Short and backless (backless, backless)
Revealing and sexy
See my silhouette in the moonlight
Observing oneself in the moonlight
Such an attraction
Being very attractive
Keep tellin' me how my outfit's so nice
Receiving compliments about one's appearance
Little did he know
Without him knowing
Ha, my man gon' take it off tonight
Expecting one's partner to remove it later
Ladies look it here
Attention all ladies
When you been with your man for a long time, oh
Been together for a long time
Every now and then you gotta go in the back of that closet
Sometimes it's good to use the special dress
And pull out that freakum dress, oh
Wear the sexy outfit
I got my freakum dress on
Wearing the sexy outfit
Freakum, freakum, freakum
Being sexy and attractive

@sydwys8
Can we talk about the requirements for some of the editing in this for Beyonce to dance the same dance several (probably hundreds) of times in different dresses in exactly the same way? Like, that's talent.
@Katie-bt2nt
@David Kempé No we cant talk about it just enjoy the video!! Fool,have you never heard of CGI? Bey is crazy talented and yeah she could pull those steps/moves out a million times but she ain't gonna when it ain't necessary,wow what a dumb ass comment!! 🙄
@TheMryoungty1
Katie You’re mad pressed for no reason. It’s never that deep. Those clearly AREN’T cgi dresses either. Just loud and wrong. Calm down and shut up.

Katie how about you take your own advice?
@imjusthere3397
Her songs don't get old it's crazy
@musicjunkie2764
Yes I agree. Her songs have substance. Someone can relate to any mood Beyoncé has given over the years. Real and relatable but still fun and fierce at the same time.
