Wow, I'm the first one to write.
The meaning is pretty obvious, so this is really a review.
I read an alternate version of the lyrics more suited to the name of the song, but the lyrics themselves are decent. The real sense of "déjà vu" is in regards to Beyoncé's earlier hit "Crazy In Love." The similarities are obvious, though I also notice similarity to Christina Aguilera's new song "Ain't No Other Man."
While I prefer this, Christina definitely has the superior voice. Beyoncé's vocals sound strained.
I also have to frown upon the repetition of the "Crazy in Love" formula, though I did enjoy this. I actually prefer this chorus to the nearly identical "Crazy in Love" one, since I always had the feeling the music was racing towards some great climax it never reached.
I'm sure this will be hugely popular, and I have no complaints about that. It's definitely catchy, though I'm still waiting for Beyoncé to show her true vocal talents (which she hasn't done since the Destiny's Child song "Soldier.")
On a final note, I REALLY wish Jay-Z wasn't here. In "Crazy In Love," his meaningless rap was catchy and thus bearable. But he definitely detracted from this song.
