Renaissance, Beyoncé’s most recent album, has garnered a lot of attention. In addition to the fact that this is the star’s first album in six years, it turned out to be scandalous.

According to The Cut, at least 120 songs mention Lewinsky, and many of them use her name as a verb to denote a sexual act, just as Beyoncé does in her song.
