Barbadian singer-songwriter Rihanna performed “Lift Me Up” at 2023 Academy Awards.
The song was released from the 2022 film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” soundtrack and was nominated for Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards.
It was written by Ludwig Göransson, Robyn Fenty, Ryan Coogler, and Temilade Openiyi. Produced by Ludwig Göransson.
Zimbabwean-American actress Danai Gurira, who stars for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, introduced the song and noted that “Lift Me Up” was penned in honor of late Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.
Rihanna's performance follows up the 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance last month.
She is currently working on her upcoming album. “I want it to be this year. Like, honestly, it'd be ridiculous if it's not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos… And I need the right background music with the visuals,” Rihanna told Vogue UK in an interview. “I can't just go shoot a video to me talking.”- source : YouTube
