Beyonce still loves singing and it doesn't feel like work despite spending more than 30 years in the music industry.

The 43-year-old pop superstar has revealed she will never get sick of belting out tunes because it's her "refuge" - revealing she always bursts into song whenever she feels low because it makes her feel better.

She told GQ magazine: "Singing is not work for me. I sing for me. I love music and I love to sing. It’s a passion that runs deep. There’s magic in the way it feels on my throat, a resonance that vibrates through me.

"When I am at my lowest, when I’ve been sad or in a heavy fog, sick or anxious with sleepless nights, I sing. And, often, I sing alone."

The 'Crazy In Love' star went on to add: "My voice has always been my companion. It’s why I have always been able to be happy alone. Music understands my heart even when I can’t find words. But always, it’s in those private sanctuaries - the studio, the car - where I find my peace.

"Singing soothes me, it steadies my heartbeat, it’s my best hit of dopamine. There’s a certain magic in sitting at the piano, and letting my fingers play random chords as I just let any and everything come out. Singing has healed me time and time again. It’s been my refuge."

Beyonce concluded: "Without singing, without music, without creating, I would be a walking dead. Creating music isn’t work for me; it’s what I was born to do."

She went on to reveal the other ways she takes care of her self - explaining she has self-care Sundays which involve taking baths with essential oils as well as acupuncture, cupping and reflexology.
