Still, she defended some of the overtly sexual content featured in her songs and videos.
"I wanted to show that you can have a child and you can work hard and get your body back. I know finding my sensuality and getting back into my body, being proud of growing up…it was important that I expressed that in this music because I know there's so many women that feel the same thing after they give birth," Beyonce said in the video. "I don't at all have any shame about being sexual. And I'm not embarrassed about it and I don't feel like I have to protect that side of me because I do believe that sexuality is a power that we all have."
The singer recently released a visual album with 17 videos and 14 songs, but she revealed that she recorded 80 songs for the project. Still, she previously admitted that she was nervous to release her album without any previous promotion or advertising.
"I was terrified. I was so scared. I already envisioned like the worst things that could happen," Beyonce said at the School of Visual Arts in New York screening for her new music videos. "I was really nervous because this was a huge risk."
