Beyonce Tributes Mother On New Song Ring Off

(Radio.com) Beyonce's brand new song "Ring Off" is about the dissolution of a marriage. But it's not her own. Sorry, anyone who thought it was a response to the rumors that there's trouble in paradise with Bey and Jay.

It's actually a tribute to her mom, Tina Knowles, who divorced Bey's father in 2011. The track-one of two new ones off the deluxe edition of Bey's self-titled album, out Nov. 24-has Bey talking about her mom smiling through the tears and trying to be the beautiful wife, before taking that ring off.

"So tired of the lies and trying and fighting and crying / You took that ring off / Ooh, now the fun begins," Bey sings. Later Bey makes it clear her mom is sexy (we agree, did you see those photos from Solange's wedding?), ready to mingle and she's proud of her.

"Always know you've got a daughter / Who's oh so proud you took the high road," she sings before later throwing in a little reference to her song, "Love On Top" about what it's like to have someone in your life who loves you. Read more here.
