Beyoncé, "Bow Down/ I Been On" - Beyoncé gave us a little tease of her upcoming album this week by dropping an in-the-works track called "Bow Down/ I Been On." All we can say is, Sasha Fierce is back and she's coming after...someone. The message in Bey's lyrics is clear: "Bow down, b-----s." But who is Bey talking to with that (sort of) in your face bravado? Our guesses up next... (Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

Rihanna - As Bey's stiffest competitor on the charts, we can see that Rihanna's got her eye on King Bey's throne. Perhaps this track, in particular the lyrics "I've been on / Tell me who's gonna take me off," is a reminder to Rihanna that she's not ready to give up her crown? (Photo: PacificCoastNews.com)

Keri Hilson - It takes a special girl to beef with Beyoncé, and Keri Hilson (allegedly) went there when she wrote the lyrics, "She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’ / She need to go have some babies / She needs to sit down, she fadin’…" on the remix to her track "Turnin' Me On." Bey's response? "Don't just think I'm his little wife / Don't get it twisted / Bow Down." (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images)

Kim Kardashian - She may be closer than ever to penetrating Beyoncé's inner circle, but let's face it: Kim Kardashian is still kind of out of her league. In any case, we have a feeling Bey will let her stick around as long as she remembers to — you know it — bow down. (Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images for EJAF)

Wendy Williams - Talk show host Wendy Williams threw major shade at Bey when she said on her show that the superstar "talks like she has a fifth grade education." Well, as long as Bey can count all them zeros on her checks, Williams should probably bow down. (Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Heart Truth)

Tamar Braxton - While more than one conspiracy theorist wondered whether Bey's pregnancy was "fake" (for real?), Tamar Braxton actually came out and voiced her skepticism on Tiny Tonight. She quickly retracted her comments, though, perhaps realizing she didn't want to be on the recieving end of King Bey's mama bear instincts. Should Tamar consider herself lucky that her only retaliation is a diss track? (Photo: Joel Ginsburg/WENN.com)

Keyshia Cole - Beyoncé is known to be an extremely loyal friend, so we can't imagine she took Keyshia Cole's diss of her Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams' Super Bowl performance lightly. We could totally see Bey writing "Bow Down" with Keyshia in mind, and perhaps Key realizes it too. "Can't stand when people all self-righteous when it's convenient and makes them look good," she tweeted after the track dropped. "First 'Women need to stick together' now B------s better bow, SMH," she added. Unfortunately, Keyshia awoke the BeyHive and angered millions of fans with her negative comments.

Morrissey - We doubt Bey would waste a track on her album going after a guy in a flowery shirt who dissed her accessories (the pro-vegan Mo' lashed out at Bey during an L.A. concert, holding her responsible for the "extinction of rhinos"), but it's still fun to imagine a Bey vs. Mo' smackdown.

Amanda Bynes - It's hard to imagine Bey would kick a mentally unstable former child star while she's down, but Bynes' mean-spirited tweet aimed at Jay-Z might have been enough to provoke her. The Lindsay Lohan-like star posted a pic of Jay with the caption "Ugly face," leaving many fans wondering when Beyoncé would unleash her wrath on Bynes. We think Amanda should listen carefully to this track and consider herself lucky she escaped without any physical damage. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Donald Trump - Bey may have electrified the world with her Super Bowl performance, but the Donald was not impressed. Speaking to Howard Stern the day after the performance, he called her moves "ridiculous" and "inappropriate," because of course he's an expert on what's sane and appropriate. Hard to believe there are people out there who thought this guy should be president. (Photo: Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images)
