Since Beyoncé’s song “Single Ladies” debuted in 2008, it has been widely recognized as an anthem for single women all across the world. In the class, it was argued that “this song is empowering to women because it is telling them to ‘own it’ if they are not in a relationship.” It was also stated that “she knows her worth and recognizes that she deserves to be treated better and deserves a more loving and caring partner.” Although these are very valid points, this song is not empowering to women. This song indicates that her main goal is to be in a relationship and that she is trying to make him jealous.
In the song, Beyoncé expresses, “your love is what I prefer,” implying that she misses her former partner and would prefer to be with him
