I Like You (A Happier Song) w. Doja CatPost Malone

Post Malone – I Like You (A Happier Song) w. Doja Cat [Official Music Video]

Rihanna’s famous song “Lift Me Up” is the theme song for the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Chadwick Boseman, who played T’Challa, the lead in Black Panther, passed away in 2020.

In the film, they did not choose a replacement; just as in reality, T’Challa has also passed away.

This song is a tribute to both Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa.

It’s not necessarily a sad song—it can also be heard as a song dedicated to someone dear to you, so I think it suits celebratory occasions as well.
