Beyonce's new song "Ring Off" is more about her parent's marriage than hers. The track finds Bey addressing her mom directly as she sympathizes with the matriarch about the insecurities and pain she went through dealing with her ex-husband Mathew. But that sadness turns into encouragement as she celebrates Tina’s decision to finally “take that ring off” and find happiness again.
Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
When you sit and you think about Father
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
You used to dress and fix your hair
Then you smiled through your tears
In the mirror you would stare
And say a prayer
Like, “I wish he said I’m beautiful
I wish it didn’t hurt at all
I don’t know how I got here
I was once the one who had his heart”
Until you had enough then you took that ring off
You took that ring off
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
Took that ring off
Oh, now the fun begins
Dust yourself off and you love again
You found a new man now you shine and you’re fine
Like it’s my time, you took that ring off
