In collaboration with Roc Nation, Def Jam Recordings, and Hollywood Records, Rihanna is putting out the new single on her Westbury Road label.

The song is a remembrance of the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who played the starring role in the first "Black Panther" film and passed away in November 2020 at the age of 43 following a protracted fight with colon cancer.

Since her 2016 album "Anti," this is Rihanna's first new music work as a solo performer.
