The song was released for Juneteenth on June 19 - the anniversary of the release of the last slaves in the United States in 1865, Variety writes.
Behind the Black parade stands Jay-Z, Derek Dixie, Caso and Kaydence, among others, and the song release came just hours after Beyoncé announced on Instagram that she is launching a new initiative of the same name with the aim of supporting black-owned companies.
The text in "Black Paired" revolves around issues such as power and resistance - and the song links to the Black Lives Matter movement and the major protests that raged in the US after George Floyd's death during a May 25 police raid in Minneapolis.
