Rihanna releases new single ‘Lift Me Up’ From ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’

After seven years of hiatus from the music scene, Anti, Rihanna has returned with a new single, “Lift Me Up.”

Lift Me Up is her musical contribution to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which premiered in Los Angeles Wednesday night.

“Lift me up/Hold me down/Keep me close /Safe and sound,” she sings as the song opens. “Burning in a hopeless dream/Hold me when you go to sleep.”

The track was co-written by Rihanna, Tems, Ludwig Göransson, and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler.

“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,” Tems said in a statement.
“I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them.”
