"Sorry Mrs. Carter" is a song recorded by American rapper Liv. The song was released on August 4, 2014, through her YouTube and SoundCloud accounts. Promoted as an "open letter" to American singer Beyoncé, Liv wrote and recorded the song in response to Nicki Minaj's remix of the single "Flawless" (2013). It is an uptempo, hip hop song with lyrics that revolve around Liv's alleged relationship with rapper Jay Z and Beyoncé's image as a wife and role model. The track's lyrical content portrays Liv as the victim of Jay Z's advances and the object of Beyoncé's jealousy.
"Sorry Mrs. Carter" has received primarily negative feedback from critics, who found its message to be confusing, and viewed it as a marketing ploy. In the single's accompanying music video, Liv raps the lyrics while wearing risqué clothing. The video had over two million views in less than a week after its release. "Sorry Mrs. Carter" was listed by HipHopDX in the top ten of the most popular hip hop singles for two weeks in 2014.
