Beyoncé‘s album for The Lion King was released — and one famous fan couldn’t contain her happiness upon hearing her name-dropped on one of the tracks.
The album, titled The Lion King: The Gift, which features Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, as well as Beyoncé’s husband, JAY-Z, and their daughter Blue Ivy, includes a song titled Brown Skin Girl that includes a special shout-out to actress Lupita Nyong’o.
“She needs an Oscar for that pretty dark skin/ Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in,” Beyoncé sings on the track.
The Oscar-winning actress responded on Instagram Friday with a video of herself dancing and singing along in elation as the song plays in the background.
“Brown Skin Girl. Thank you @Beyonce for this Gift!! #BrightnessIsJustWhoYouAre,” writes Lupita Nyong’o as the caption of the video montage.

The Brown Skin Girl single also includes the names of supermodel Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland. The star, who voices Nala in the Jon Favreau-directed film, also shares writing credit with her 7-year-old Blue Ivy.
