No, your ears aren’t deceiving you – Rihanna has released a teaser for her brand new single.

The Work singer gave fans just a few hours to digest the news that they’ll be getting new music from before dropping a snippet of the song, which will feature on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Spanning just 14 seconds, Rihanna doesn’t give too much away with only her humming – albeit, very tuneful humming – heard before the clip fades to black.

The full track, titled Lift Me Up, will receive its full premiere on Friday.

Reacting to the new Rihanna, one fan joked: ‘It’s that a song?… album?…lingerie?… or Makeup?… the world may neva know until the 28.’

Another cheered: ‘I love you so much thanks for saving music again!!!!’

One other said: ‘The queen is back. congratulations to all the navy who survived this past years.’

Summing up pretty much everyone’s shock, one fan tweeted: ‘I can’t believe my eyes rihanna is actually not playing games this time.’

Earlier this month, rumours began that Rihanna has two songs on the soundtrack to the Black Panther sequel.

Fans were quick to conclude that the R in the video confirmed that they may finally get some new music from the Diamonds star, whose last album, Anti, was released in 2016 and her last single as a lead artist, Wild Thoughts, dropped in 2017.
