While the music world awaits the official kick-off of Beyonce‘s new album campaign, the singer’s first (complete) new song in three years, ‘Rise Up’, has received a digital release.
Now available to purchase on Amazon, the Sia-penned anthem – which features in Bey’s mega-grossing movie ‘Epic’, can now be heard in high quality.
Like much of the diva’s new material, the roll-out of ‘Rise’ was wrapped in quite the conundrum as it was initially omitted from the film’s soundtrack — despite being “the” song used to promote it.
In any case, there’s no confusion as to where you can listen to the stellar number. ‘Rise Up’ awaits after the jump…
Euphoric, worldly, and stunningly sung, ‘Rise Up’ is everything we’d ever want from a new “Beyonce ballad”. Indeed, save for a few Disney-fied lyrics, this is easily strong enough to have been commissioned as a first single — the fact it wasn’t hopefully indicates that King B is cooking up something even better.
One of her best Offering Since the End of The 4Era, can’t hate/shade/dislike such an inspirational Song and it’s message is positive, I loved it 😀 , 5/5.

me likie
Beyonce slays b****** like David slayed Goliath.
Who cares about this stale s***!!!! Where is the Ciara post!!!
Who cares about Ciara, anyway?
Cisus>>>>> Butch bey
Sis did you see the BP performance?they posted it, the hive swarmed the post as usual then it got deleted ugh!!!
No hun I didn’t get to see it 🙁 and of course the hive would be the first people on the post they have no lives…
Beyonce>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Rock, oops I mean Ciara
B**** Ciara who ? You mean the girl who cant stop flopping ?
No B**** the woman who currently has the biggest R&B single of the year THAAATS WHO
I see someone is off their meds.
LOOOOOOOL *co-signs*
She is flawless.
What a voice. And those harmonies
I am still perplexed as to why she is releasing this song, in particular, as her “first” in three years [especially with ‘Standing on the Sun’ & ‘Grown Woman’ garnering high media/radio/performance exposure] but, either way, this sounds like it has the potential to be a hit… In some way or another.
Oh well, it’s a nice song and it serves it’s purpose.
Nice harmonies Bey. 😉
Tell this FATT b**** to release the GROWN WOMAN & STANDING ON THE SUN
Tell this FATT b**** to release the GROWN WOMAN & STANDING ON THE SUN
Been listening to this all morning…. she sounds so good (but what else is new)
THIS!
Beyonce said she is doing something that has never been done before. By that does she mean, never releasing a music video, an official song, or an album. Hmm.
Where did the Ciara post go? I was about to click and then it’s gone!
Can’t wait to get in & comment on the Princess, eh ?
Gorl did you see the hive flocking to the post? I love it and they love Ci! 🙂
I really wanted to hear BP LIVE. Cause all this time and we got nothing more then a bathroom performance.
Omg what was the post about? why it get deleted?
that is the tune bey. ms. kelly and bey be killing this b******
it’s cute
More like wack.
Stand back bishes!! Beyonce is slaying
This song is amazing, Sia did a good job but due to my morals, I cannot bring myself to give my money to a thief like Beyonce, so until there is a way Sia will get the money directly, I’ll zippy share this song, sorry Sia. Sia should have given it to someone more deserving and who will compensate her and credit her adequately, Beyonce WILL rip her off.
B**** shut up and go save your cracked out s*** fave
Lol
Hit Boy and Sia did that. vocals are on point as always!
finally i been waiting ages!
Wow bey runs this s***. Lovvvvvvve it, am also loving the fact she is taking her time before she release her new album. Am happy she is not letting the presure get her. Ya love bey
Wow… This >>>>> hate her or love her you must admit that she SLAYED the vocals! This may just get her that Oscar 🙂 #REPEAT
I could see this being nominated, and i’m sure Bey has her name on the credits to be one of the 3 writers up for the award this go round!
I love this one! Such a beautiful song!
After countless amount of flop singles I say its time for Bey and Mariah to take along break from the studio. Oh and Ciara and Kelly can join them. Rihanna and T-Swizzle have obviously taken over. “Hang it up flat screens”, and let the newbies take charge!
She’s releasing it because her movie Epic just came out. Helllooo. Movie sound track
SLAYONCÉ is finally putting out new songs! Love it! She better release Grown Woman or Standing On The Sun next!
Omg this is BEAUTIFUL HER VOCALS AND HARMONIES SLAYYYED! Nice job Beyonce and Sia!!!!
I love it. Giving me irreplaceable part 2. Its a beautiful message aswell and her voice sounds awesome of course. This is the Beyonce I like to hear!
This and Standing on the Sun>>>>>>>>
This song is alright. Her vocals are good. I want a official single from an upcoming album!!! Please, Bey.
Nice job. No one could’ve sung this like Bey her harmonies are gorgeous and her tone fits it perfectly. Good job Sia and Hit Boy too.
Sia on Beyonce:
[Bey] is my Queen, I love her so much! It’s kind of weird because I’m friends with her sister, Solange, but I’m not really an opportunist person, so I’ve never mentioned it to her. So I’ve been trying to work out how I could pitch songs to her or how I could write with her, but without ever utilizing my friendship with Solange.
Looks like she got what she wanted 🙂
Lol Beyonce only decided to work with Sia because she penned Diamonds for Rihanna. Still ain’t gonna get a hat too
Yeah Whatever. Hows Bathroom Party doing?
B**** why are you using my name….
@Rellz body party is doing great its the biggest r&b song of the year.
BODY PARTY is doin great and on its way to becoming the biggest R&B song of the year. B**** dnt worry about Ci and the squad we good over here pressed b****
Lol
Its boring.
Beautiful ! Headed to Itunes .
guh please!
I like it but where is the new single Bey?
Slayyy
Better than burning in the sun and half grown woman cause those songs are wack AF.
Standing on the sun is the most decent IMO but her music as a whole sucks
i can tolerate burning in the sun but grown woman is pretty annoying, i had to pull my headphones off my ears because of the messy instrusmental, too much going on but nothing actually happening and standing on the sun is just another medicore song, album filler at best not a hit potential. she needs a MONSTER SMASH to really set off this era or it’s a 4closure all over again.
Grown Woman has too much goin on. The lyrics are s*** and the song drags even the performance was boring
i agree 101% grown woman and standing on the sun are not hits i dont get why people want her to release then when we all know they will never amass to anything, this is better. its not #1 material but def top 20.
Standing on the Sun actually has a lot of potential to be a summer hit. Its commercial yet has crossover appeal. Grown Woman no. But Standing on the Sun yes.
@BLUE IKR i think at this point the hive would take anything from her cause it been rather dry in Bey camp even if it’s not really a hit, cause i’m pretty sure they know those songs are not that good.
@Why So Jelly I agree totally and thought the same.
Standing on the Sun will be a massive hit, but it has to be released in the summer and in the summer only.
Grown woman is a great song, but it doesn’t have the crossover appeal.
@NAVI Sheesh.. the hate that lives in your heart is real. This is a beautiful song with a great message. People like Sia, Maxwell, Emeli Sande, Sade… they don’t see Top 10 hits, but that doesn’t mean they are flops. some people make music to please themselves and advance their craft.
Beyonce was once like Rihanna, focused on the marketing and remaining at the top of the Hot 100, but that also hinders art at times, especially in this market. I think in time Rihanna will also make a move to a more personal artistic feel. Cold Case Love was a great start, and Mother Mary as well.
shut yo ass up, grown woman and been on is so “artistic” b**** please beyonce is desperate for a phucking hit, like her life depends on hit. i don’t give me that artistic, cause thiefonce is no where close to it, these hood hive mebers are so guilable with thier fcking excuses, artistic, really???
“Rihanna will also make a move to a more personal artistic feel. Cold Case Love was a great start, and Mother Mary as well.” i guess yo mess stay that charted oh billboard top 5, mother mary, lost in paradise, what now on her new album, at least rihanna charts unlike fossil so keep it cute.
This is a lovely song. I actually like it better than Diamonds. I also love SOTS. Go Beyonce. I am pleasantly surprised.
I like it. Very cute.
Shes on break from Tour. I hope she promotes it because I adore it!
She need to “rise up” the charts for a change!
Death Kiiiii God knows she does. Time for a change
*Obama’s voice*
Lmao omg
Beautiful. Bey did that she sounds wonderful.
Am sure beyonce’s next album will be her best selling album since her career
I really like it
Damn you Beyonce and those harmonies! Those vocals! Can someone explain to me why,…sigh a cineva fan is trying to come for Beyonce? S*** at this point He/she wishes it had an album sell like run the world(God I hate that song!)the single(I think it might be gold by now lol).Ciara isn’t even A list more like C or D and that’s even in the R&B world… Anyway I’m not much of a Beyonce Stan. I am more of a DC fan, however beyonce’s voice is pure perfection, when she doesn’t sing the normal crap she hashes out. Again, keep making songs like this and I will buy the album of it ever gets released
I love her. This is great bey
Wow this song is so pretty! A really sweet song. #REPLAYYY!
Its average.
And Beyonce did an amazing job on this whether you like her or not.
i love this song and the movie i saw the movie two time i am sure going to buy the song bey have that raw talente i am very proud to be a fan long live queen bey god continue to bless you for life
I bought it like 20 mins ago, lol..I’m on lunch break and I have it on #repeat
i like your avi hun
thanks
Guh please, u ain’t got nobody’s job, and ain’t bought nobody’s song…
Lol! With a name like “QUETTA” I’m sure she is flipping burgers at burger king
LMAO
@Ha, just because you don’t have a job doesn’t mean I don’t have one
@superstupid was that the best you can come up with? Nasty ass burger king? #womp #tryagain
I like it. All joke aside hive members. Bey really need bring it this era cause those two songs she release is not it and i’m sure some of you will agree. She needs a song that will really smash, something unexpected and upbeat. Plus she needs to really bring some interesting and new visuals this era. God just something fresh and new, new sound, hairstyle, something… anything. I really want her to bring it this era, cause i’m getting a little worried.
Grown woman will probably not be a single because the song has been on the internet for sometime now, like almost 2 months
I like Standing on the Sun but for the summer only, she will have to release another single before the album comes out if SOTS is her first single..
SOTS and G.W might be just for the commercials and not singles. I think they might still make it to her album, remember Sweet Dreams?
Yes Visually Beyonce has to step up her game in the huge way, but I don’t think it will go far as a new hair colour though 🙂 I don’t think she’ll do that.
I am tired of Frank Gatson. She needs a new team with fresh ideas, but Beyonce is probably comfortable and doesn’t want anything new.
She should not be managing herself in the first place.
Eever since she fired her dad, everything has been so messy in her camp, she was so on point when he was arround.
Yeah, she needs to work with some new producers, songwriters, video directors etc and put the dream and the others on the back burner cause thier production won’t cut it during this climate in music. i really want a lot uptempo songs this era.
Yeah, Even though she doesn’t re-hire her father, she needs a manager. She is too big to manage herself and two heads are always better than one.
I just want Bey to surprise me with something new, but I won’t be holding my breath.
Niceeeeee
I liked it
The song slays! The vocals and harmonies are on point! The KING can do no wrong!
Rihanna and Rita Oral stans, do I need to remind y’all that Bey owns your faves? So I thank YOU ALL for paying for Blue Ivys diapers! Ciara stans just stfu. She isn’t even relevant!
This Is Quite Boring…. Glad its a soundtrack cut… Come on Bey bring the heat… and please stay away from this sound on the new album
Beautiful song. Nice to hear something simple and refreshing that shows off her voice. Very nice Beyonce. Its very uplifting too.
i love the movie the song bey have that raw talente very proud to be a fam i am giong to buy itnow
she needs to go more upbeat this era and work with some new producers like Hardwell and Rodney jerkins and worked with new song writers like max martin and Sia.
but… Sia wrote this.
You post more on Beyonce’s articles than you do on the people you Stan for. What’s wrong with this picture #catchthatdirt
i wish my Ciara fans would be this passionate about getting their fav on the chart.
Top 40 hit this year
But she is already there baby
Nothing special sounds like diamonds
Diamonds could never.
after couple more listens i like it more.
Beyonce is just simply amazing. Please just need to lay of her. like she never said that Rise Up, Grown Woman or Standing on the Sun is a release off her album.
The are simply promo’s for Pepsi, Movies, and H&M
For all the haters all the songs sounds great and she will continue to be NUMBER 1 and sell and SLAy.KINGBEY !!!
I like it a lot more now after reading the lyrics. Such an inspirational song.
“Fight for you and me” might be my new name when I get bored of this one lol.
Nice her vocals slay. It doesnt sound anything like Diamonds. Beyonces voice>>>>
But she needs to stop wasting opportunities for promotion and take advantage of them. I love this. I understand she just released this for the movie though.
I really like it. It is universal and can reach all age demographics. Her harmonies are amazing, she really knows how to utilize her voice. I like the fact that it is a departure from what people expect from her. I always thought Sia and Beyonce would make a great duo.. now all I need is for Bey to work with Emeli Sande!
I love it! Its even better turned up all the way so you can hear the lovely instrumental. Well done Beyoncé.
I love it! Its not even available on Itunes? I only see Amazon. Which wont allow me to process from the UK.
Im miss the days when beyonce used to ‘get it’. The ‘im grown, im an adult’ ish aint flying.
I can imagine a really nice video going with this aswell. Its such a nice and inspiring song! I love Beyonce so much 🙁 And kudos to Sia.
Absolutely beautiful vocals. Her voice is like fine wine, it gets better with age.
Sam please! It is nice, but not a first single material or a stunning song. You have really low standards sometimes…
Its better than #Beautiful
And ‘Almost Home’
You wish! 🙂 But I said it is a nice song. You are the pressed hater
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MARIAH CAN’T SING OR CHARY ANYMORE
CHART
Mariah can´t chart? lololol She´s charting better than both Ciara and Bey in the last 3 years in singles charts. Plus she is the one who is over 40 and has enough hits to retire if she wants, no need to do anything else. So yeah she is so above them. Mariah out of her peak chart run>>>> Bey or Ciara at their peaks chart runs
Sorry
She really does make everything sound tacky and tired.
Rihanna makes everything look tacky and tired. Largely because she has no talent smdh.
Love it. She did a great job. I’ll be mad if she doesn’t make something of this. At least a video montage with clips from the film or something like she did with I Was Here.
Cute Song.
yes yes no one can rise like beyonce nice ballad
Beyonce sung the hell out of this! It’s good people! Some of you that have a problem with this just need to admit that your problem is Beyonce! B’s vocals are so well done! Bravo!
I had a funny moment listening to this song.., firstly I’ll say that I generally really like it and Beyonce sounds great on it. I like the melody and the laid back flow of it mostly and also that unusually Beyonce doesn’t completely decimate the track with an over-use of power so it retains its mellow vibe…, the bridge leading into the chorus though, I don’t know if it’s my ears but it sounds really off timing-wise. Anyway, the funny moment occurred in the second verse of the song, the ‘they’ll burn you at the stake if you…’ line. I couldn’t help but think it related quite significantly to Beyonce herself.
My main critique of Beyonce since she went solo has been the lack of lyrical honesty and also the contrived specificity of lyrics that pertain to things that are quite obviously not of her life, however if she can finally start to include at least a smidgen of ‘Brandy-esque’ emotional truth into the upcoming project, I think her detractors (i.e. people like myself who love her talent, stagemanship and beauty etc. but loathe her general lack of musical sophistication and trite lyrics) may start to enjoy her output again. I hope that’s the case cos believe it or not I used to love her …and like a cousin that’s fallen into a life of vice I forever hold out hope that one day she’ll come good again.
Beautiful. Love her or hate her she did the damn thing with them vocals.
I LOVE this song! it’s far better than her other songs! A great message!
Ok this is better, but nothing to go crazy about though…Her music has been weak As f*** lately…This i can tolerate a little bit! I’m just wondering when will she ever chart again?
GREAT! Love it.
So great. People care too much about charts. Bey is past that stage where she needs charts. The song is nice. I have it on repeat.
Omg I just got the same emotional reaction I got when I first heard Halo for the first time. I shed a tear a bit. Beyoncé, *sigh* you just make me so happy.
I like it, is a great song, her best in ages.
U know when I was listening to this it reminded me of
Diamond..an read some of y’all comments and the same
Person that wrote Diamond is the same person that wrote
This?? WOW
And? People use the same writers. It does not sonically sound anything like Diamonds, the vocals and instrumentals are completely different. People just jumping on the fact Sia wrote it smh.
Rise Up’s lyrical content >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shine bright like a diamonds lyrical content. The only similarities between the two is the fact that Sia wrote them. Other than that the vocals and acoustic sound on this track slay Diamond…Just saying.
Aw this song is nice. I love the acoustic vibe, the message, Beyonces voice. EVERYTHING! She needs to put out a video and release it in iTunes asap.
Be who you arrRRRREE! YES!
OMG I just bougth the song I love it so much Thax Sam for posting god bless our bey thank god for given us our bey long live queen bey more success in all you do
LOOOL she drew no attention to grown t***** and flopping in the sun. I dont blame her both songs are wack as f***. Pure garbage.
Love it. And its 100 x better vocally and lyrically than Diamonds.
11 out of 10
BEYONCE OWNS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
This is a cute song for the movie.
