"Rihanna Drops New Song 'Friend of Mine' for Smurfs Movie Soundtrack"

[!CDATA[Rihanna has finally dropped a new song titled "Friend of Mine" for the upcoming Smurfs movie, where she voices Smurfette. The track features Rihanna singing over an upbeat Afrobeats-inspired dance track with warm synths and rhythmic drums. The song will be part of the Smurfs soundtrack, which also includes tracks from DJ Khaled, Cardi B, and DESI TRILL. The movie, set to release on July 18, stars John Goodman, James Corden, Nick Offerman, Sandra Oh, and more, and follows the residents of Smurf Village on a mission to rescue Papa Smurf from an evil wizard. Rihanna not only recorded a song for the film but also served as a producer. Rihanna announced her involvement in the Smurfs project back in 2023 while pregnant with her second son, Riot Rose. She made a memorable appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, debuting her baby bump. Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky are already parents to their oldest son, RZA. "Friend of Mine" is Rihanna's first release since 2022's "Lift Me Up" for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. Her last album, Anti, was released in 2016 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. You can listen to Rihanna's latest track, "Friend of Mine," below.]]
