Who run the world? Come on, you know who.

Almighty monarch of surprise social media storms, Beyonce, has dropped an almighty special video in honor of the International Day of the Girl on Oct. 11.

Produced in conjunction with Chime for Change and Global Goals, the clip sees a group of outrageously fierce girls lip sync and break it the heck down to Beyonce's "Freedom," the get-out-of-the-damn-way track from 2016's Lemonade.

"Support girls around the world to realize their dreams," reads the caption on Beyonce's Instagram post, directing folks to the Global Goals website and the #FreedomForGirls campaign, aimed at ending violence against women and promoting quality education.

Crank it up, watch it 10 times, or 1.3 million times, like Facebook users have. We're done.

Girls RULE.
