In the chorus of Beyoncé's new song "Heated," she says, "I gotta fan myself off (Fan me off) / I gotta fan myself off (Fan me off) / I gotta cool down, heated (Fan me off like hot, hot, hot)," per Genius. The singer also mentions luxury brands such as Chanel and Tiffany. This could mean that even queens like Beyoncé herself need a break from the fame. She has spoken about the struggle of being in the public eye.
"Throughout my career, I've been intentional about setting boundaries between my stage persona and my personal life," the singer told Harper's Bazaar in 2021. She then explains that even those who are close to her can get lost in fame and fortune. "I've fought to protect my sanity and my privacy because the quality of my life depended on it," she continued. "A lot of who I am is reserved for the people I love and trust."
The singer also says, "It's been a lot of years," which could directly aim at the fact that it has been six years since Beyoncé has recorded and released a studio album, per The Guardian. Therefore, she could be making a statement that she took some time to herself, but she's back now and people shouldn't forget about her. There's also another way in which "Heated" can be a glimpse into Queen B's personal life.
