Is it too late for her to pretend she's still on hiatus and try again in February? :deadbanana2:

I feel like people are considering it out too earlier. Especially because of radio

I really like this song, the only part I dislike is the "Hold me, hold me" which sounds like "homie homie" during the outro. lol

Another top 10 for the collection and the movie ain’t even out yet :foxaylove2: Is it confirmed that LMU will be used in a powerful scene of the film in addition to the credits?

 

Once queen releases a real b0p it’s gonna be over for the girls :sistrens:

So they are buying YT views and want us to believe this is just a soundtrack push

Another great review: 

 

Fun is not the first word one would use to describe “Lift Me Up,” the single she released today—her first new solo song since early 2016. Gorgeous and heartbreaking are more like it. A beats-free ballad off the soundtrack for the forthcoming movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, “Lift Me Up” might seem like the sort of legacy-burnishing track people expect a semi-retired singer to toss out every so often. The song’s writers—Rihanna, the Nigerian R&B sensation Tems, the director Ryan Coogler, and the producer Ludwig Göransson—have made a strong bid against anyone leaving the movie theater without tearing up. But really, two things are exciting about the track. One is the sound of Rihanna’s voice. The other is the ambition it signals.

Though rarely applauded as a powerhouse talent in her early days (some of her performances on Anti started to change that), her timbre and inflections are entirely her own—despite other singers on the radio constantly imitating them. 


Lift Me Up” is built around her vocals and reasserts her ownership of her now-ubiquitous sound. She opens with dewy hums and then busts into stately, sustained notes that crest with the slow beauty of daybreak. At certain times, she sounds commanding, like a priest giving a sermon in song. At others, she is soft and breathy, a supplicant making a desperate prayer.

 

Lift Me Up” does its job well. Commemorating the life of the late Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, the track has a soothing simplicity, with strings and guitars that rise and fall in the manner of meditative breathing.

Isn't this alone enough for a #1?

The buying of yt views is absurd. YT is no longer generating a lot of revenue and has little impact to charts now.

I just opened Youtube to see what y'all were talking about with the views and... :deadbanana4:That's crazy and does not feel real at all lmao
