Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé began performing in local competitions at age 7, eventually forming the group Girl's Tyme in 1990 with help from her parents. Girl's Tyme became Destiny's Child in 1997.

The disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success: her sophomore solo album B'Day, released in 2006, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations. On January 31, 2010, she won 6 Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy awards won by a female artist in one night; she previously held the record of five awards with 5 other artists.

Beyoncé's song Lost Yo' Mind is about a relationship that has come to an end due to the male partner's dishonesty and betrayal. The lyrics suggest that the male partner has repeatedly lied, cheated and betrayed Beyoncé, making her feel like she is 'crying all the tears' and losing her own mind in the relationship. Beyoncé sings about trusting the male partner over the years despite her fears and feeling like she was taken for granted. However, she has now finally had enough and decided to move on from the toxic relationship.
The chorus, "You must have lost yo' motherfucking mind!" is a direct reference to the male partner's delusional behavior, and the line "That Chloe crop bag ain't mine (wasn't mine)" indicates that she had caught him red-handed with someone else that he had lied about before. The song's themes revolve around female empowerment and taking control of one's life after a toxic relationship. Beyoncé ends the song with the defiant line "You must've lost ya mind!" reiterating that she is taking control of the situation now, and he is the one who is lost.
Overall, the song is a powerful message of resilience, self-love, and moving on from toxic relationships. Beyoncé is seen to exemplify a strong, independent woman who has the strength to leave behind an unhealthy relationship, which reflects in the lyrics of the song.
