Beyoncé surprised fans over the weekend by dropping a remix of her track Flawless, featuring Nicki Minaj.

Following reports that Minaj may have delayed her new single Anaconda in order for Queen B to feature, the pair unleashed the new version of the song without warning on Bey's website - much to the delight of their fans. 

The singer's website is thought to have crashed briefly after the release as people across the world tried to listen to the tune for the first time.

Lyrics on the reworked track are thought to reference hubby Jay Z's infamous rift in a lift with Bey's sister Solange, which took place in June.

Beyonce sings: "And we could go around and get some good karma, but no, we escalate up in this bitch like elevators.

View the lyrics
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
What's in your head it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters

Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down

Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery

Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says
Thinner is better

Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down

Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery

Ain't no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
The pain's inside
And nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
It's my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
Then you break when the fake facade leaves you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
And the shards of a beautiful girl

Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worst
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery

When you'r alone all by yourself
And you're lying in your bed
Reflection stares right into you
Are you happy with yourself
It's just a way to masquerade
The illusion has been shed
Are you happy with yourself
Are you happy with yourself
Yes
Writer(s): Beyonce Knowles, Joshua Coleman, Sia Furler Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
Hide the lyrics
"Of course sometimes s**t go down, when it's a billion dollars on an elevator."

Bey and Jay have been hit with split rumours ever since the incident, with Solange recently stating that her family are "at peace" with what happened.
