After 6 years Rihanna has released her first single “Lift Me Up” which will be on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. Lift Me Up is dedicated to Chadwick Boseman and was written by Tees, Ludwig Grandson, Rihanna and Ryan Cooler. The single will be released this Friday, Oct. 28, 2022.

“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,” Tems said in a statement. “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”
