The ‘God is a woman’ hitmaker posted a viral clip of her editing her verse in the vocal booth as she sang: “You know what I’m thinkin’, see it in your eyes / You hate that you want me, hate it when you cry.”

The Grammy award winning superstar has teased in the caption: “Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14 hour day on set. This certain exception had to be made….”
