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.

Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations.

It became the best-rated album of 2022, named the best album of the year by publications such as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, which would later place the record at number 71 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. It then was nominated for Album of The Year at the 65 Annual Grammy Award Show and won Best Dance/Electronic Album.
2024 - 8th Album - "COWBOY CARTER" (ACT ii)

Took a trip to clear my mind
Now I'm even more lost
And you're still so fine, oh my oh my
Been having conversations about breakups and separations
I'm not feeling like myself since the baby
Are we gonna even make it? Oh
'Cause if we are, we're taking this a little too far
Baby, if we are, we're taking this a little too far
Me being wherever I'm at, worried about wherever you are
We're taking this a little too far
We're taking this a little too far
Know you wanna roll with a good girl?
Do it big do it all for a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Don't sleep when you know you got it good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
What's up
On my mind up past my bedtime, no rest at the kingdom
Alone in my place, my heart is away
All that I can think of is, we should get married
We should get married
Let's stop holding back on this and let's get carried away
Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
Got everything I'm asking for but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
All I'm really asking for is you

One time, this is a song for the good girl
Don't sleep when you know you got it good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
What's up
From eight until late, I think 'bout you
You own my nights I don't know what to do
I can't get no rest, can't get no sleep
This whole thing got way too deep and we should
Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
I got everything I'm asking for but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay

Beyoncé's song "Mine" is an emotional tune that begins with the singer reflecting on the difficult time she is having, as she "has been watching for the signs" and "took a trip to clear my mind," only to come back "even more lost." She is worried about her relationship and the prospect of breaking up or separating from her partner, which has left her feeling "not like myself since the baby." However, despite these concerns, she remains entranced by her partner's attractiveness, as she acknowledges that "you're still so fine," wishing to be with them no matter what happens. Beyoncé then transitions into a chorus celebrating the "good girl" and declaring her love for her partner, stating that "all I'm really asking for is you" and that they should "let’s get carried away." Throughout the song, she also emphasizes the importance of not being overly concerned with minor problems and instead focusing on building genuine connections.
Overall, "Mine" is a poignant showcase of Beyoncé's vulnerability and emotional depth. The lyrics suggest that though she is successful in many areas of her life, she still faces significant struggles in her personal relationships, which are often shaped by intense anxiety and uncertainty. However, rather than simply allowing these emotions to consume her, Beyoncé confronts them head-on and continues to pursue love and connection with her partner, even when things get hard.
