I want a #1 hit. I need Rih to get serious about surpassing Mariah and the Beatles for most #1 hits.

I hope it's not a wannabe epic movie ballad like "Sledgehammer."

If it’s in the same vain as the first movie’s soundtrack, I don’t think we need to worry.

I hope she cried because the song is so good, and not because it's a ballad. |

Sounds like we might be getting a power ballad but she's turned those into smashes before. I'm still perched.

There were some points over the years I never thought the day would come. Actually having new Rihanna music...hell Rihanna actually acknowledging to be a singer on social media. I'm just happy.
Trusting that it's good.

“Lift Me Up” will be released under Westbury Road, in partnership with Roc Nation, Def Jam Recordings and Hollywood Records. On the creation of the record, Tems said: “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 that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them. Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”

Me and Ballads...
It's Ri Ri, and her ballads eat, and it's respect to Chadwick, so I'm definitely supporting regardless.

I'm still perched. this soundtrack ballad never made it on the Hot 100 (peaked at #2 on Bubbling Under) so... but I have faith in "Lift Me Up" and Black Panther to deliver something that sounds (& looks) much more fresh and exciting. we've been waiting for FENTY MUSIC for too long to be let down by a boring Sia ballad lol. |

Too fragile to be teased.
I hope it doesn't hurt her own (eventual? hypothetical?) lead single if the first single we're getting from her in years is from a soundtrack.

Hmmm that snippet doesn't reveal much at all lmao. I hope it doesn't hurt her own (eventual? hypothetical?) lead single if the first single we're getting from her in years is from a soundtrack. I mean, "Work" did fine after the start/stop campaign that included "FFS," "BBHMM," and "AO." "Sledgehammer" was released and flopped during the ANTI campaign and "Love on the Brain" still became a hit afterward. |

I know it's a reach, but Lift Me Up could easily be the See You Again of this decade.

I said See You Again just because it's a tribute song for a blockbuster movie. |

I'd say the video would also have to pay tribute in some way for people to feel that emotional connection.

I wonder if she can pull off a #1 debut on the Hot 100. If it’s a hot song and promo is calculated enough, I’d say she’s a shoe-in. But Taylor will still be strong in week 2 so…
