Rihanna – the global icon,
designer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the top-selling digital singles
artist of all time – makes her highly-anticipated return to the airwaves this
Friday with “Lift Me Up,” the lead single from the upcoming Black Panther:
Wakanda Forever original soundtrack.
“Lift Me Up” was written
as a tribute to the extraordinary life and legacy of Chadwick Boseman by Tems,
Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna and Ryan Coogler. The song was recorded
in five countries and was produced by Göransson.
The release of “Lift Me
Up” ushers in the next era of Rihanna’s iconic career. “Lift Me Up” will be
released this Friday, October 28th via Rihanna’s own Westbury Road label in
partnership with Roc Nation, Def Jam Recordings and Hollywood Records.
“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,” said Tems. “Rihanna has been an inspiration
to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”
In Marvel Studios’ Black
