Rihanna is back, baby. After years of waiting, fans have finally been treated to brand first new music from the singer… and it’s safe to say, she has delivered.
Next month, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to be released across the world, returning to the fictional country following the death of Chadwick Boseman in August 2020, who played T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It was recently confirmed that Rihanna had recorded music for the film, and now that song has been released to the masses, revealing the Barbadian musician’s melodious voice over delicate strings in the song, titled Lift Me Up.
The track came with an accompanying instrumental track, as the 34-year-old also teased an upcoming music video in a short clip shared on social media.
The lyrics of the soulful tune Lift Me Up go: ‘Lift me up, hold me down, keep me close, safe and sound; Hold me when you go to sleep, keep me in the warmth of your love when you depart, keep me safe and sound.’
