Rihanna Releases New Song ‘Lift Me Up’ For Black Panther Movie

Rihanna is formally back in the music scene … launching ‘Lift Me Up’ for the most recent ‘Black Panther’ film — her very first solo drop in about 6 years.

While it’s not a dance track like lots of fans had actually anticipated, RiRi balances over a sluggish beat … prior to singing “Lift me up, hold me down, keep me close, safe” in the chorus.

As we’ve informed you, the tune will be featured in the upcoming Marvel follow up “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”. What’s more, it was composed as a homage to late ‘Black Panther’ star Chadwick Boseman, who died back in 2020.

Rihanna, Afrobeats star Tems, Oscar-Grammy Award-winning manufacturer Ludwig Göransson, and ‘BP’ director Ryan Coogler all came together to compose the tune.

The last time RiRi launched music on her own was the “Anti” album, which came out back in 2016.

The vocalist has actually had a lot on her plate throughout her time far from music, like her style line, Savage X Fenty, which introduced in 2018 and her charm line Fenty Beauty which debuted the year prior to.

Of course, she just recently went into the mommy club, after welcoming a baby boy with her partner A$AP Rocky.
