And it seems the lyrics are to blame.
Beyoncé sings in the instant summer banger:
"Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job""I'm gonna find new drive""They work me so damn hard""Work by nine, then off past five""And they work my nerves, that's why I cannot sleep at night"Naturally, it took no time at all for enterprising Twitter users to turn it into a meme.

For others, Beyoncé's lyrics were open to interpretation—maybe she doesn't want you to quit your job, per sé, but to have a life outside the job you have.
\u201cBeyonc\u00e9 said, \u201cRelease your job.\u201d I don\u2019t think she meant quit your job. I think she meant have a life outside of coding on a daily & waking up at 5am to do so. Prioritise your mental health, sleep & touch grass on the weekends. It\u2019s not everyday tech, babes.\u201d

	Jokes aside, Beyoncé has a certified banger on her hands, with nearly 6 million views on the official lyric video as of this writing. 
"Break My Soul" is currently the No. 1 trending song in music, according to the YouTube charts, and is showing no signs of slowing down.

	If nothing else, the success of this song is already adding to Beyoncé's most impressive net worth, meaning she can afford to quit her job any time she wants to.
Unfortunately, though, you cannot—as another user hilariously pointed out.
\u201cDon\u2019t let Beyonc\u00e9 get you packed up. Shorty a whole billionaire. She can quit her job. You need to be up at 7\u201d

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.
In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.
Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
