Lift Me Up is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It was released on October 28, 2022, by Westbury Road and Roc Nation, as the lead single to the soundtrack album of the Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
The song marks Rihanna’s first solo musical output since her 2016 studio album ANTI, and her first overall in two and a half years.
Lift Me Up is an “emotive” R&B ballad that “speaks from the heart”, serving as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who died from colon cancer with just 43 years old, shocking the industry and the world.
Chadwick was a beloved and hard-working actor, best known for giving life to T'Challa, the protagonist in Black Panther.
