The anticipation for Beyoncé's Timbaland-produced single "Grown Woman," co-written by The-Dream, has been building at a record-breaking pace. After a piece of the track was first used in a Pepsi ad and followed by a live performance, we were starting to get a vague idea of what the song was going to sound like. Last night, an allegedly full version of the song leaked, and while SoundCloud took it down nearly immediately, a copy made its way to YouTube. In true Beyoncé-perfectionist form, "Grown Woman" certainly does disappoint. The fast-paced, rhythmical beats are classic Bey, only infused with the structure and cadences that are undeniably Timbaland. It's fresh, fun, and naturally very sexy — summer anthem, anyone?
Listen to the full track, here:
