Guess who's back?

Beyoncé has been a little busy this year, what with bringing daughter Blue Ivy into the world and all that goes along with it, but her maternity leave from showbiz effectively ends tonight, when the music superstar returns to the stage for the first time since giving birth.

And if you think you're excited, well, your nerves don't have anything on B's, as she shared in a behind-the-scenes video chronicling her concert return...

"It is exciting," she said of her series of Memorial Day weekend concerts at Atlantic City's Revel Casino and Hotel. "I feel a little nervous.

"I'm enjoying being a mother. It's like going back to my old job; it's a little strange, but it's important that you don't lose yourself and you still have your own passions. And I'm back to work, I'm back to business."

Jay-Z's better half goes on to share her prep work with fans in the video, struggling her way through her first vocal warmups and choreography sessions in months.

"I haven't sang in a year," she said, before putting fears to rest and busting out a pitch-perfect rendition of "Halo."

"What I'm trying to say with this show is, yes, I had a baby, but I'm even more grounded."

Beyoncé's three-night run begins tonight.
