Rihanna is back in the studio as the singer confirmed the release date as well as the title of her new song for 2025.
Global superstar Rihanna is officially making her long-awaited return to the music scene with a brand-new song, “Friend of Mine,” set for release on May 16, 2025.
After years of anticipation, the announcement has sent waves of excitement throughout the industry. Rihanna’s last solo release, outside of her work for film soundtracks, was in 2020. Since then, she’s remained tight-lipped about her next musical move until now.
While details surrounding “Friend of Mine” remain under wraps, speculation is growing that the track could be tied to an upcoming Smurfs movie project. Rihanna was previously confirmed to be involved in the film, fueling rumours that her latest release might serve as a major soundtrack piece.
The singer, known for her genre-defying music and effortless reinvention, has yet to confirm whether the new song will mark the beginning of a larger project or her long-awaited next album.
