Almost one year after it scored a sunny H&M commercial, Beyonce's "Standing on the Sun" has hit the Internet in full. The breezy song was among a handful of rumored tracks for what was then her unknown fifth album. It didn't make the "Beyoncé" cut, but the anthem did find its way onto the setlist at the singer's May 2013 concert in Antwerp, Belgium. Sia and Greg Kurstin wrote "Standing on the Sun," which you can listen to below while preparing for (or fantasizing about) your beachside getaway.Beyoncé first met Chelsea Lee James in 2009, when she invited the girl to join her on stage to perform "Halo."
After Chelsea, 15, died of cancer a few days ago, the singer remembered her grieving family.
Beyoncé, 32, sent the girl's Australian family a bouquet of white roses, along with a personalized note, according to a post on a support page for Chelsea.

"Donna, Love and prayers to you and your family," she wrote to the girl's mom. "Chelsea was a beautiful girl and I am so happy I was able to meet her. She touched my heart and I will never forget her."
Chelsea died April 21 after a decade-long battle with cancer. In 2004, she was first diagnosed with a tumor on her spine. Despite surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, the tumor multiplied, eventually numbering 18. Meeting Beyoncé was a dream come true for the British girl, who reunited with the singer last year. After so much waiting, Beyonce‘s “Standing On the Sun” has finally hit the web!
The 32-year-old entertainer previewed the hit summer song last year in her steamy bikini campaign video for H&M. Watch the commercial if you haven’t seen it!
“I can’t deny your desire/Can you feel the heat feel the heat on my skin?/You and me are standing on the sun,” Beyonce sings in the song.
“Standing On the Sun” was famously not included in Bey‘s self titled album that she recently released – but we’re loving it!
