I need to listen to this again. I find it underwhelming on my first listen. Hopefully it will grow. 

Glad she's still slayingff

Most artists are all about payola when it comes to radio, except maybe  gaga and pink, we know that... but I think it's embarrassing what's happening. This kind of support for a song that didn't click with the GP nor with the fans is surreal, I mean the song is WW free falling everywhere, Spotify, Apple Music, you name it, and we're talking about -50% streamings... this kind of radio support for lift me up is outrageous and so is its placement on top of the today's top hits, with anti-hero being  so much bigger

If only this happened for HMH.

The song is so basic. But I guess good for her and her fans? 🥴. I do think the song is gonna disappear so fast. Yeah is a new Rihanna song but is meh

Imagine that kind of promo with a good song, she would rise to a legend status. Really awful how she managed her comeback.

I thought I was the only one who found the song underwhelming.

I love me so emotional ballads. But this is not it. There’s no power or emotion. And it sounds like a Xmas song. Very strange 

[Monstermilo 3,928]

it was a let down but im still happy rihanna is coming with new material 

hopefully her solo stuff is more exciting

I like this song, something about the instruments has soul in it

People are clearly here for new Rihanna music and that's great to see. It's been 6 years since Anti and there's a whole new generation of music listeners on streaming services so could've been risky to take such a long break but  I guess it did good. Just imagine what it'd have done if it were for R9 lead single and around the Superbowl. I hope they do take the opportunity of that show to drop the new album. It'd be the biggest waste of a show if she doesn't.

True. It’s a grower for sure. I’m sure it will be a big hit once the movie comes out

It's a good song and fits the movie theme, I don't get the hatred at all. People just care too much about charts and stats.

Too bad it’s boring song
