The song's accompanying music video was directed by Francis Lawrence and was filmed in California over a three-day span. 'Run the World' was a top 20 hit in Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, and the United Kingdom. The single peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her lowest performing lead single to date, and reached the top 10 in Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Scotland. Several critics compared 'Run the World' to Beyoncé's other singles with similar themes such as 'Independent Women' (2000) – with Destiny's Child, and 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' (2008) among others, stating that 'Run the World' takes a more direct and assertive approach towards female empowerment. 'Run the World' initially divided critics some complimented the song's sample, its musical direction, and Beyoncé's aggressiveness, while others criticized the continuation of past themes and stated that they wanted to see Beyoncé covering new topics. The song's title and lyrics comprise an unapologetically aggressive message promoting female empowerment. 'Run the World' is a electropop and R&B song that heavily samples 'Pon de Floor' by Major Lazer. 'Run the World' premiered on US radio on April 21, 2011, and was digitally released the same day. An unedited demo of the song, then thought to be titled 'Girls (Who Run the World)', was leaked on the internet on April 18, 2011. The song's development was motivated by Beyoncé wanting to do something different: a mixture of different cultures and eras, a new sound, and a message which would give women strength. Production was handled by Switch, The-Dream, Beyoncé, and Shea Taylor.
