Beyonce has been on vacation for over a year. By the looks of her new video, she hasn’t missed a beat.

The superstar singer unveiled her new song and video, “Run the World (Girls),” on “American Idol on Wednesday (where she appeared as a mentor to the contestants), largely bringing back the elements that made her “Single Ladies” song and video mega hits: women’s empowerment, and a brand new dance.
