"My House" is a song by American singer Beyoncé. It was released on December 1, 2023, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, as a single to promote her 2023 concert film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. Written and produced by Beyoncé and American songwriter The-Dream, "My House" is a rap and house song driven by trap beats and horns.
Background and composition
The song marks her first original solo release since Renaissance on July 29, 2022.[1] The album was accompanied by the 2023 Renaissance World Tour, which was later brought to screen as Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé on December 1, 2023.[2] Soon after its release, speculation arose that there might be a new song playing throughout the credits for the movie, which would turn out to be "My House".[3] The track was surprise-released the day after.[4]
The "infectious" and "energetic" rap[5] track was co-written and co-produced by long-time collaborator The-Dream.[6] Driven by "triumphant horns", "My House" sees the singer go into "full rap mode" and "scorching bars" as she "turns up the heat".[7] The song features "bold, brassy tones" highlighted by a prominent "cracking trap beat".[8]
Reception
In a Pitchfork review by Hattie Lindert, "My House" was compared to "a star athlete’s celebration pose after a godlike game... begin[ning] as a nasty step team stomp that evokes the unified roar of 2018’s Homecoming before switch[ing] to a boiling house cut where she calls for a self-love revolution." [9]
