The song marked Rihanna's first new music since the release of her 2016 album "Anti." It was written by Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna and "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who died in August 2020 after a yearslong battle with colon cancer.

Tems, Göransson and Coogler are also Oscar-nominated for 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 that I've lost in my life," Tems said in a press release at the time. "I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them."
