Singer Beyoncé reportedly gave Vice President Kamala Harris permission to use her song “Freedom” during her newly announced presidential campaign.
Per CNN, a source close to Harris revealed that the team asked to use the song from the 2016 album “Lemonade.” Harris walked out to the song just hours later during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters.
The single features Kendrick Lamar and includes the lyrics, “Freedom, Freedom/Where are you?/‘Cause I need freedom, too/I break chains all by myself/Won’t let my freedom rot in hell/Hey! I’ma keep running/‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves.”
Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris for president, but she does have a history of putting support behind Democratic candidates.
She sang the national anthem at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2013 and performed with her husband, Jay-Z, at a pre-election concert for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless,” the Grammy Award-winning singer said at the time, per CNN. “And that’s why I am with her.”
Beyoncé also publicly endorsed Biden ahead of the 2020 election.
While the recording artist hasn’t endorsed Harris for president yet, her mother voiced support for the VP on social media.
In 2020, Harris walked out to Mary J. Blige’s 2007 song “Work That” for her victory speech after she and Biden won the election.
The VP also got the support of British pop singer Charli XCX, who posted the slogan “Kamala IS Brat” in reference to her current album. Harris’ campaign staffers reposted the endorsement on social media plus started using the album’s neon green color and making “Brat”-themed memes.
According to Charli, the term “brat” conceptually represents someone who might have “a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra.” The musician was discovered on Myspace in 2008 and is popular with Gen Z.
