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.
