The song "7/11" by Beyoncé is an upbeat and rhythmic tune that celebrates letting loose through dancing and having fun. The lyrics are a call to action to wave your hands, clap, and move your body to the music. The pre-hook describes how to dance; shoulders should be sideways and legs moving side to side, while smacking it in the air. Beyoncé's verse talks about her spinning, flexing, and putting her hands up before spitting out the lyrics "Oh, let go like alcohol," referencing the freeing, fun-filled feeling that comes with letting loose on the dance floor. The hook repeats with encouragement for the listener to wave their hands, clapping, and smacking in the air like they don't care, though Beyoncé recognizes that they do care about letting loose.
The continued verse stresses the carefree nature of the song, with a mention of "seven eleven," or cutting loose while staying up late. She also sings, "Man, it feels like rollin' dice," alluding to the game of chance and the risk of letting loose. However, the theme of having a good time on the dance floor prevails, with Beyoncé explaining that she is "tryna kick it with you" and that "fresher than you," indicating that she is at the top of her game, even when it comes to dancing. The outro is mainly a repetition of the pre-hook and hook, with a few fun phrases thrown in.
