How “Break My Soul” Became Noah’s Life Soundtrack

Beyoncé’s hit track Break My Soul, which is nominated for Album of the Year, has a line in the lyrics that goes “I just quit my job/I’m gonna find a new drive”. The song references the need to “leave yer work” and “release the worry”, as well as the call to go look “for something that lives inside me”.

Trevor Noah has acknowledged, as noted by this article, that hosting The Daily Show was “incredibly enjoyable”, but he is also enjoying his newfound freedom and is “genuinely living [his] best life” by not having to stress out so much. The 38-year-old said he will now be able to appreciate the Grammy ceremony–which he will host for the third time–even more.
