Beyonce Knowles is reportedly planning a big surprise. Multiple insiders told New York Daily News that the 32-year-old singer would be dropping a new single on December 3, on the same day Britney Spears' "Britney Jean" arrives, and several weeks after Lady GaGa and Katy Perry release their respective albums.

"Many in the industry have gotten intel that Beyonce will put out a single in the fourth quarter, some time from late November to early December," the insiders said. "It's an official single and it's timed perfectly to push out all the others. It will be out before the end of the year."

Beyonce has indeed been working on something. Back in August, she was spotted hitting New York's Coney Island funfair to film a music video with photographer Terry Richardson for an unknown track. Earlier this week, the wife of rapper Jay-Z reportedly shot a music video again in a nuclear bunker in London's Greenham Common.

The former member of Destiny's Child is currently in the middle of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour while keeping herself busy with working on her upcoming fifth studio album, whose release date is kept under the wraps.
