It’s becoming increasingly clear who the true star of the Knowles-Carter family is—and it’s Blue Ivy. The 7-year-old takes center stage in her mom Beyoncé‘s new “Spirit” video, a song from the new live-action remake of The Lion King. (Bey plays Nala in the film.)

In the video, Bey and Jay-Z’s eldest child looks so much like her mom as she joins her in a scene desert scene, walking over to Beyoncé and taking her hand. It’s perfectly juxtaposed with a moment from the film where young Simba steps into his father’s pawprint. The pair are wearing similar pink flowing dresses and long curls, surrounded by a group of female dancers. It’s a poignant and powerful moment in the video and certainly proves that Blue has inherited her mother’s X-factor.

The song’s lyrics are incredibly inspiring as well: “Spirit, can you hear it calling?/ Yeah/ Your destiny is coming close, stand up and fight/ So go into that far-off land/ And be one with the great I am, I am.” Who doesn’t love a Beyoncé power ballad?

The rest of the video is filled with equally stunning visuals featuring large groups of dancers wearing vibrant colors alongside Beyoncé. And yes, you do get to see clips from The Lion King interspersed. We see some sweet moments between Simba (Donald Glover) and Beyoncé’s Nala, as well as shots of the fatal fight between Scar and Mufasa, and those pesky hyenas.
