Diva

About this song

"Diva" was written and produced by Bangladesh, Sean Garrett and Beyoncé herself, and it appears on her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). It was released as the album's third overall single in the United States, alongside the third international single "Halo". Many critics note its beat and bassline resemble those of Lil Wayne's "A Milli", a 2008 Bangladesh production, and critics have called it a "female companion" to that track.

What it's about

The lyrics aim to empower women by reclaiming the word "diva", a label that is often used in a negative way.
