"Born Again" is Rihanna's second single for the Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which opened in theaters Friday.

"I'd give my heart to this place / I'd give my whole soul and whatever it takes, never run away / And I'd relive this just to see your face again / I know that you'd do the same, born again," she sings.

Rihanna previously released the song "Lift Me Up" for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

"Lift Me Up" is a tribute to late actor Chadwick Boseman, who played T'Challa, aka Black Panther, in the first Black Panther film. Boseman died at age 43 in August 2020 following a private battle with colon cancer.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is directed by Ryan Coogler and stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Ngong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Dominique Thorne and Tenoch Huerta.
