The ‘Smurfs’ single, which came from one of Bellion’s writing camps, sounds “very cutting-edge, in front of what the next wave will be,” says the veteran producer.

Rihanna released her first new song in three years, Friend Of Mine, on May 16, 2025. The song is part of the soundtrack of the upcoming film Smurfs. The singer is voicing the character of Smurfette.

As revealed Wednesday (May 14) with the release of the film’s new trailer, Ri will drop a track called “Friend of Mine” on Friday (May 16). The teaser also features snippets of the song, which finds the Fenty mogul singing over a dreamy Afrobeats-inspired dance track, “You’re looking like a friend of mine.”
