Rihanna has shared the title of her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever song that's out this week, and it's called "Lift Me Up".

The new song will mark Rihanna's first new music since appearing on PARTYNEXTDOOR's "Believe It" in 2020, and will be her first solo outing in nearly seven years, since her 2016 Anti album.
Rihanna announced last month that she'll headlining the next Super Bowl half-time show in February 2023. It's also been reported that Rihanna may head on a stadium tour after the Super Bowl show, but that's yet to be confirmed too.
