Despite already selling over 3 million copies worldwide since its release in December, the campaign for Beyonce‘s blockbuster new album shows no signs of slowing.
Having racked up hits with ‘Drunk In Love’ and ‘Partition’, the singer has selected ‘Pretty Hurts’ as the next Pop/Mainstream single to be lifted from the self-titled set.
As such, today brings with it the VEVO premiere of the video many are hailing as one of the star’s most powerful yet.
Check it out the visual for the Sia-penned production below…

I love the video, but not so much the song. It’s a great message but idk. She should’ve gone with “Blow”.
Omg I was just thinking the same thing. This seems less than smArt. Blow would have been the better choice especially with summer right around the corner.
finally pretty hurts! good choice beyonce 🙂 it’s not available yet on her vevo channel on youtube tho, can’t wait for everyone to hear and see it!
Are You Trolls Happy With Yourselves Beyonce got a great massage
I think you meant MESSAGE unless you were trying to inform us on Beyoncé spa day
How the hell do you confuse message with massage? This song is corny as f*** by the way.
LOL message?! its not her message to tell after her nose jobs and skin bleaching..
She really is the best if our generation… such a powerful video…
LOL DOESN’T SAY MUCH ABOUT YOUR GENERATION LOL
B****
I just said this needs to hit the radio soon…I’m sure it will win best inspiration at the VMAs this year!!
YAASSSSSSS!!!!!! Finally,Pretty Hurts! LMAO but I thought that this album was nothing but “uninspiring porno trash”? Watch some of these trolls and fake stans backtrack.
You already know what time itis Lmao smh!! They already can’t stand the fact that she’s winning! and she just did a song with Boots called “Dreams” too and her vocals are just…..man she is truly blessed by God!! They wasnt lying when they said that us Beyhives gots to stick together because even though we get amjor slack and criticism for supporting Bey, we know what God has instilled in her and we wont let no hater or naysayer brin gher down!
I loved that ‘Dreams’ track! Her vocals gave me chills. Boots is underrated. Other than that,I agree with everything you said. The haters have been seething so hard,you can’t help but laugh.
LOL THIS DOESN’T MAKE ANYONE FORGET THAT H0EONCE IS PORNO TRASH. SHE’S STILL JAY Z’S H0 LOL
FLoooooooppppppp 🙁
I love this song and video yes I think this song will bey her break through song a radio friendly song she can perform everywhere I do love the message bey your were all different learn to
Love this song even though it came out that Sia wrote this song for Katy and Rihanna first proving that Beyonce don’t write s***.
girl sit yo tired ass down somewhere!! why dont worry about ciara and her roller coaster career!
Not my fault your fav can’t write a song or a simple sentence for that matter.
But perhaps it IS your fault that Ciara can’t put out an album that qualifies for even an aluminum certification. That’s what happens when you spend all day at TGJ on a computer and internet connection you didn’t pay for, and can’t even afford lip service – let alone a $10 CD.
@queen_rico f** sit down
@mollly
At least Bey can sing unlike ur fave
Who whispers s*** nobody is interested in
U tried Tho
Your stays lip syncing tho Ciara doesn’t do that.
Beyonce never claimed she wrote it though
interesting video. i like the look in that photo. awesome. 🙂
Love everyone differents and very up lifting to as well I’m rooting for great female anthems this year from riri solange ciara nicki and Mariah and more
Wonder y she moved on from Partition so fast…. Cause her s*** stalling at 3 mil and that sing FLOPPED!
I love the ACapella she did in the beginning.
Great single choice! I’m glad the song didn’t go to waste, Bey knows just how to mix things up. The video is very honest and raw. The message comes across perfectly.
great choice…. Pretty Hurts and Mines. Jealous is my favorite song.. but there two are good single choices
The squad runs this f****** site y’all stay worry bout ci. We don’t do fake pregnancies over here f******
You apparently don’t do album sales either. lol
Three back-to-back hardcore flops, and a few lackluster ones before that. You braggin on TRYING to run this site (delusional as that notion is) rather than trying to save Cici from getting dropped from another label? Airheads. I guess you figure TROLLING a music blog is more likely than recruiting others into the bargain bin “squad”.
SIA ON PRETTY HURTS : “Furler emailed the song to her friend Katy Perry, but Perry didn’t see the email. So Furler passed the song along to Rihanna’s manager, who held it for eight months, but ultimately did not pay the fee to secure the track. “When Beyoncé heard it, she slid into home base and just closed the deal,” Furler says. Last summer, Dr. Luke, one of Perry’s producers, got hold of the Beyoncé version and played it for Perry. She loved it. She texted Furler: “I’m pretty hurt you never sent me this song.” Furler responded: “Check your email.” Still sounding disappointed, Perry says, “It was meant to be with Beyoncé, of course.”
I THOUGHT BEYONSO USED TO WRITE HER SONG BLABLABLA ….*Foils nails*
I don’t know what you thought you were proving with that pointless write up. The bottom line is that Beyonce ultimately got the song, not Katy or Rihanna. Anything else?
It proves that beyonce wasn’t her first pick DUMMY!
Who gives a sh*t who was her “first choice?” From the sounds of it, she had several singers in mind for it initially — including Beyonce, who it ultimately went to. Wherever she is, I’m sure she’s content with the situation. If she didn’t want it to go to Bey, it wouldn’t have. Period.
Be quiet.
So what? Rihannas biggest hit was supposed to go to 2 other people.
Beyonce has always given Sia credit.
Great video, but I don’t like the song …
Boy stfu because you were complaining that she should sing it at the Grammys if she had any “brain cells left”
LOL THIS WELFARE VERSION OF UNPRETTY WILL FLOP JUST LIKE FLOPTITION LOL
It’ll sell more than ARTPOP and that struggling tour attached tho. And it won’t send her label 25 million into the red.
Lmao this song won’t be #1 like the rest of her singles post 2008. It may crack the top 20 and nosedive after
”Despite selling 3 million copies worldwide…”, please, Samantha. That is nothing compared to what Adele sold. You love blowing things outta proportion when it comes to Beyoncé. She’s just doing OK, not slaying.
You know you’re not competent enough to argue against the topic when you gotta try and hide behind Adele. Who even brought her up? Was she the ONLY one you could come up with to try and downplay Beyonce? Ha. She must REALLY be slaying then. That was a b**** move my friend. That skirt tight enough?
I can see how pressed you are… Beyoncé selling 3 million copies is not anything to brag about. I brought Adele up because ”21” sales were something to boast of. Beyoncé’s sales are pretty average. Even Taylor S*** sells more, babe.
But she is irrelevant to the topic, no one insulted her, no one mentioned her, and her selling that many units of her album isn’t a reason to run around on posts where she’s – again – not mentioned and use her name and numbers for flamebait.
Beyonce’s last tour did $230 million, Adele’s didn’t. Beyonce has been destroying Adele on Forbes and moneymaking lists since 2011. Your point?
Why would Beyonce sell like Adele? She is not Atypical like her not does she make atypical sympathy music. You people need to use logic.
Hey Sam check your lipstick the sizing of the video is the wrong way boo x
its TOO EARLY for PH!
next SINGLE SHOULD BE mine…
DIL
PARTITION
MINE (SUMMER)
BLOW (SUMMER)
PRETTY HURTS (FALL)
SUPER POWER (WINTER)
i hope She performs MINE at the bet awards ATLEAST
“Mine” sounds as much like a ‘Fall’ song as PH.
MAYBE, EITHER CHOICE WOULD BE FINE I GUESS IF bey wants to keep up with her trend of the 3rd single always being a mid-tempo. (ie me myself & I, Girl, irreplacable, Ego, best thing I never had)
Cute. And Beyonce has already shown footage of her with all the writers from this album at her mansion in behind the scenes. She never claimed to write the song.
I don’t think pretty hurts was a good single choice…don’t get me wrong i love the song…but its not radio friendly…but then again Beyonce been gave radio friendly music the middle finger since ‘4’.!
Finally. I just want one live performance and I will complete with this era. Not sure I won’t blow as a single anymore it already did it’s thang on the Dance/Club charts. Partition is still on Urban radio formats, not on Pop radio but yet it’s sales are at 350K+ and XO is at 400K+ in the US 1.1M WW. Both will see a gold plaque by summer. Blow and Mine should be the final dual release and singles from the album.
I think mine but not blow…flawless instead 🙂
Am i the only one that thinks she should release flawlees..? i think it would slay.!
I would agree if not for that spoken word middle section. That rant (which is too important to the song and takes too big a chunk of it to be edited out) lessens its commercial appeal considerably.
pretty hurts is a song about her bleaching her skin to be Britney Spears
Is this the song Rihanna aint want?
@Krista she claims to be a songwriter yet someone else is steadily writing songs for her. Has bey paid future for song writing credits on Drunk in love yet?
@Molly she contributes.
Can you show me receipts for that Drunk in Love theory
GLADLY!!!!! Heres the website and the VIDEO
www. lovebscott .com/news/future-says-wrote-melody-beyonces-drunk-love-doesnt-know-didnt-get-credit
Future Says He Wrote the Melody for Beyoncé’s ‘Drunk in Love’, Doesn’t Know Why He Didn’t Get Credit:
There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding the similarities between Beyoncé’s “Drunk In Love” and Future’s “Good Morning.” We’ve seen Future briefly address the situation — but he never fully explained what went down.
In an interview with CRWN host Elliott Wilson, Future attempted to clear up the controversy.
“Detail came to the studio like. He cut the music off – ‘Man I’m about to work with Beyoncé. Can you please do this record man? She like the way you do yo’ songs’ ..and she this and that. We were working so much together, he ended up getting me to do it.
He put me in the booth. The song was already pre-wrote. I started doing the little melody – my melody that you can pretty much tell from “Turn on The Lights.”
If you listen to the records these are the same melodies I’ve been doing — “Never End,” “Turn Off The Lights”. If you go back to my mixtapes you hear my melody all over it — so it wasn’t that issue.
It was just, he was working with her, ended up cutting the record first & gave it to her. We had did the record about 8 months before she put it out.”
He goes on to say that during that time, he made “Good Morning” thinking Beyoncé wasn’t ever going to put “Drunk in Love ” out — but she did and thus “Good Morning” was scrapped.
Still unclear as to whether or not Future wrote anything on “Drunk in Love,” Elliott Wilson points out that both songs feature the line “we be all night” and Future clarifies that everything was written around the same time.
Elliott : “Why aren’t you properly credited for that song and why can’t you just put yours out?”
Future: “I don’t know. You gotta ask them that. I was like ‘Let me put “Good Morning” out since y’all put “Drunk in Love” out’. [They were] like ‘nah’”
Elliott: “But you weren’t credited on ‘Drunk In Love’”
Future: “Nope. That’s why they won’t let me put it out *laughs*”

I’m surprised she didn’t open her legs in this video, with the shortcut and p*** antics she could have looked like those macho man p*** bottoms. Now that she is being holy no one will buy it and it won’t crack the top 15.
I do like the message of the song though, hopefully the DumbHive will at least make it go gold
You’re “Slayriah” under a different name. You accidentally exposed yourself a few weeks ago. Haven’t forgotten.
She looks like a t***** in that pic
Everyone can’t wear short Hair like the Queen
“THE MRS. CARTER SHOW” FINAL NUMBERS
Dates 132
Attendance 2,082,848
Total gross $229,727,960
Highest for a BLACK FEMALE IN MUSIC HISTORY (almost 2Xs over).
(MORE than Tina Turner, MORE than Janet, & yes Rihanna (Diamonds) who need #1s to sell anything) Rihs tours will likely decline since shes getting older & no talent pop stars have a strict age limit.
7th biggest tour of 2010’s (18th overall)
Chile please stop it and go sit somewhere with those inflated numbers. None of her albums ever made it on the list of best selling albums world-wide like tina and janet. Now what’s your excuse for that?
Beyonce’s numbers do not reflect her hype nobody believes that b******* about her total gross not even you – you just want bragging rights. She’s overrated to the max stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Omg good choice bey please my fellow behive let continue to love support our bey modern ever for life don’t let the hate mongers get to us
Funny thing is rihanna would probably have the highest selling tour by a black b**** but Bey took it lol.
Poor dat.
If you say so white b****.
WhoS here for MINE/FLAWLESS live @ the bet awards?
careers would end and feelings would be hurt… 🙂
Mine
This song makes me tear up for some reason. One of the best and most inspirational songs of 2013-2014 so far. Good Job Sia for writing such a beautiful song, and kudos to the Queen for delivering those vocals like nobody else could.
Haha omg, blu ivy, did you not see how she sat with her legs open in that video?
And FML are we back to this beyonce? Girl power beyonce? “I’m a survivor” beyonce? Girl power beyonce?
She really is the queen. Queen of the rycling bin.
Please? Inspiring?
Lol I bet we can make a list on here of songs that are just like this?
This is the worst song i’ve heard from her.
At least the video shows us how much of a struggle it is for beyonce to attempt to look thin.
Shame.
Didn’t know they’re making reality shows into music videos now hey
This album has a bit of everything. Her vocals are well suited on this track.
And you people complain about the gagster and “noise”
Lol well delusional hive members, meet the kettle!!!
Are you really here for fatyonce constipated vocals and ear breaking screaming and 1000 other beyonce voices screaming behind her own voice?
Bad.
Sis.
You never hear a rihanna #1 with a million other rihanna voices screaming in the backtrack
And wheres Rihanna in the 100 greatest vocalist? The basic b**** can’t harmonize so be seated.
Go watch her live performances of california king bed. Perfect example of harmonising.
Sit.
The issue is the delusional hive not knowing what they like and dislike.
This song vocally is A LOT of noise and typical black church girl sounding.
That’s what beyonce is. Typical.
WOW WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED BEYONCE WOULD MAKE A GIRL POWER SONG?!?
You can’t call other artists music “artpop” noise when this is AURA from lady gaga
Beyonce has the vocal acclaim and praise to back it up. R****** does not. Don’t go there stay in your singles lane Navy. Vocals is not the one to argue with a Hive over.
@Kelly Kelly
B**** didn’t nobody ask you all of that. We repeat WHERE THE F*** DOES RIHFERPIPE RANK ON THE 100 GREATEST VOCALIST LIST????
OMG Keri Hilson looks beautiful in that pic Sam used lol…
only joking. Cute video.
This song is not one of my faves from the album but it makes sense
This is my least fav song off the album. I hope it does well because this doesn’t feel like a Summer single unlike Blow. But I can understand why she chose it. Bey’s been facing criticism left and right with her ‘newfound sexual liberation’ so I guess she wants to show that there’s more depth to her album than riding serfboardts and having Jay tear her cherry out, lol. It’s a lil boring to me and I rarely listen to it but it has a great message and the video is one of the best on the album. People should quit trying to discredit Bey. She’s winning and you can #staymad
I can totes see myself skipping this song on the radio.
Where’s piggy lovato?

Pretty Hurts is lovely song only Bey could sing that song with that vocal delivery.
u guys crack me up, like Beyonce has NOT already proved she is the QUEEN! haha, she dont need no gold or any of that, the album is platinum (over), so ummmm please understand, she aint got NUTHING to prove-GET EM B!
You guys always have an excuse for beyonce THE MOST PATHETIC STAN BASE EVER!!!
The Llama stans are back in hiding, now that Flop Coast has been drugg OFF the iTunes charts!!!!!!
LOOOOOL!!!! she looks horrible with short hair.
How many singles is she going to release?
As many as she wants. Shes an influential Queen.
Effortlessly slaying your flop faves 🙂
This is really nice! Amazing video! And she was so cute at the end.
better than partiSHIT. same issue over again. RECYCLE! only that she can afford
4 singles later and she has ran out of steam, her shock LP is hovering around 3 mill and will not outsell and RIH LP’S. She is more or less a to rung act. HA!
