Beyonce released a new album today—a surprise album, put out there in the world with absolutely no fanfare.

One of the tracks, called “Flawless,” features author Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie. Adichie is the author of Americanah, which is getting named as one of the best novels of 2013. She appears in Beyonce’s song via extracts from her TED talk, “We should all be feminists.” Here’s the text of the speech that appears in the song:

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls – you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man…Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: A person who believes in the economic, social and political equality of the sexes.

You can’t buy only the single—yet—from iTunes, but you can listen to a preview of the song, and Adichie’s entire speech, below.
