Rihanna set the internet ablaze when she announced that she would be making her big return to the stage and music this February.

But is the singer also set to release any new music ahead of the show? While she did break her silence on the matter, read more about all we know!

Rihanna's announcement quickly accrued millions of likes and comments

The Barbadian has not clarified whether new music will coincide with the Halftime Show as of yet, as most artists of the past have chosen to spotlight their existing catalog of hits rather than focus on new ones, but the nature of streaming could change things.

The We Found Love singer has not released a studio album since 2016's Anti, almost seven years ago, and has kept up a light stream of singles.

After releasing Lemon in 2017, she took a hiatus from the industry before releasing Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, which has already received Golden Globe and Critics Choice noms.

She also performed another tune on the soundtrack, Born Again, which saw a quieter release with the album and was featured in the film's end credits.
