'The Queens' of Beyoncé and Madonna's 'Break My Soul' remix have spoken: 'In tears'

All hail the queens of Beyoncé and Madonna's "Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)," who are officially losing their minds over their shout-outs from the supreme Queen Bey.

Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Missy Elliott and more have responded on social media to the remix, which crowns a number of female artists — past and present — musical royalty in the style of Madonna's "Vogue." The "Queens" edition of Beyoncé's hit single came out on Friday — a week after the buzzy release of her seventh studio album, "Renaissance."

"Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold / Bessie Smith, Nina Simone," Beyoncé recites on the track. "Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl' / Lauryn Hill / Roberta Flack / Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack / Missy, Diana, Grace Jones / Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones / Helen Folasade Adu, Jilly from Philly, I love you, boo."
