Fans are overwhelmed by the comeback

According to Tems, who wrote the song, “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 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.” He added, “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”

The ‘Diamonds’ singer has her events lined up after a break. Weeks before the announcement of her first solo in six years, the megastar had announced that she would be making a return to the stage by headlining the coveted Super Bowl show in 2023. She is also about to appear in the forthcoming fourth edition of the Savage x Fenty fashion show on Prime Video.
