Rihanna fans have been waiting tirelessly for new music, and finally, after six long years, they will have their wishes granted this Friday.
On Tuesday, Marvel Studios appeared to tease new music from the singer, sharing a clip of the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s logo before singling out the “R” in “Forever” with the release date below it: 10.28.22. The tweet was captioned with the eyeballs emoji.
Now on Wednesday, Rihanna officially confirmed the news with a new teaser shared across her social media channels.
Rihanna has announced that “Lift Me Up” will arrive Friday and will serve as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman and is the lead single from the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack.
The inspiring song was co-written by Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson, who also produced the track.
“After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them,” said Tems. “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”
The soundtrack will be available on Nov. 4.
