Rihanna hasn’t delivered much new music in the past few years, apart from ‘Lift Me Up‘ which appeared on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
The track also earned an Oscar nomination and she chose the 95th Academy Awards for the first ever performance of it.

Rihanna recently said she aims to release a new album this year.
