Lift Me UpRihanna
In October 2022, Rihanna released her first new song in over six years, “Lift Me Up,” which generated enormous buzz.
The track was included on the soundtrack for the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, released in November of the same year, and serves as its lead song.
Beyond the excitement of a long-awaited release from the global superstar, the lyrics of “Lift Me Up” have drawn attention for being dedicated to Chadwick Boseman, who rose to worldwide fame as the star of Black Panther but sadly passed away from illness in 2020.
Rihanna’s emotive performance of the beautiful melody feels almost like a prayer, radiating a sense of compassion and warmth that can make listeners forget their troubles and minor frustrations.
