The Woman King is the new epic movie announced by Sony Pictures, out on September 16. Starring Viola Davis, the film is inspired by the true story of the Dahomey Amazons, an all-female army that lived in Western Africa centuries ago. “Bow down to the most exceptional female warrior to ever live,” says the movie tagline. People got caught by the trailer, mainly because of the song we can hear in the background, part of the movie soundtrack. Let’s discover it.
You can find the official trailer of The Woman King here on Youtube.
What’s the song in The Woman King official trailer?
The song featured in the official trailer of The Woman King is My Power by Beyoncé. You can find the song streaming below.
Beyoncé released My Power in 2019 as part of the album The Lion King: The Gift, inspired by the movie The Lion King. The song became now an essential piece of The Woman King soundtrack.
The lyrics we can hear in the trailer are:
They’ll never take my power, my power, my power
They’ll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way, oh wow
They feel a way, oh wow
The singer who pronounces those lines is Nija, who manages to recreate a pronunciation that seems to have originated in Africa.
Beyoncé has explained the meaning of the lyrics with these words:
“The song is a celebration of power, and not allowing anyone to get into your psyche, and to make you feel anything less than a king.”
