The all-female track list could have just been Beyonce’s “Girls” 15 times, but it features artists such as Halsey and Summer Walker instead. The album includes 16 songs and is a mix of everything, with remakes of old classics, too, including Black Canary’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
The video for “Diamonds” — the first song from the album — also dropped, and it sets the tone for the whole thing. Normani and Megan Thee Stallion channel their inner Harley as scenes from the movie serve as the backdrop while they rap about not needing a man.

As my coworker said, the whole thing is a “very girl power situation.” Who runs the world?
