Can you all hear us screaming!!!!!!.... (Squeals)... We can't get over the excitement, the goosebumps, it was such a surreal moment when we played the single, did my best to fight back the tears but our girl had us ruining our mascara.

Rihanna allows us to miss her and actually takes time to perfect her sound. In an industry saturated with look-alikes, she continues to evolve and it's beautiful. 

'Lift Me Up is the first solo single from Rihanna since the release of her album Anti in 2016.

Rihanna made her comeback to music after six years of hiatus with the soundtrack for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Lift Me Up, released Friday, October 28th.

The song is a tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman who played the titular Black Panther/King T’Challa. Boseman, who died of colon cancer in 2020 at age 43, had been diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and had battled it privately for four years as it progressed to stage IV. The late actor left an indelible mark in Hollywood after his portrayal of the character.
