In a 2022 press statement, Tems, co-songwriter of Rihanna's “Lift Me Up” said, “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\u2019ve lost in my life.

Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
