She’s back.
The Rihanna Navy — as the pop superstar’s legions of fans are called — is finally about to get new music from its billionaire commander.
On Friday, Rihanna, 34, who has only released the rare collaboration since her 2016 album “Anti,” is coming back in a big way with “Lift Me Up,” the lead single from the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” soundtrack. The film will be released Nov. 11.
The song — a tribute to the late “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman that was recorded in five countries — was co-written by Rihanna, the film’s director Ryan Coogler, producer Ludwig Göransson and Nigerian artist Tems.
“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 I’ve lost in my life,” Tems said in a press release.
