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

This year’s convention, held Sept. 26–28, delivered on that vision in a way no one exactly put on their wish list—by resurrecting the late Marvel legend as an AI-powered hologram. That’s right: between the swag, panels, and trailer drops, fans were invited to “meet” Lee, who passed away in 2018 at age 95, via a digital stand-in programmed to chat like the real thing.

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.
Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.
