Rihanna is preparing to release her first new song in three years, titled 'Friend of Mine.' The track will be included in the soundtrack for the forthcoming film 'Smurfs,' with its official release scheduled for Friday.

A preview of the song has been featured in the recently unveiled trailer for the movie, which was shared on social media on Wednesday.

This marks Rihanna's return to music after a notable hiatus, having not released new material since her previous works, which contributed to her ongoing global recognition and impact on the music industry.
