“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,” Tems said in a statement. “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honour.”
Previously, Kendrick Lamar and SZA's ‘All the Stars’ was included during the credits sequence in the first film. The catchy track, which played over the film’s end credits, went on to score an Oscar nomination for original song, in addition to numerous Grammy nominations. Meanwhile, it was also reported that Rihanna will embark on a stadium tour in 2023 after headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show in February.
