The story behind the song

"Rise Up" was born from a deeply personal place, written by Andra Day as a "sort of prayer" after a close friend received a cancer diagnosis. It emerged during a "freestyle recording" session, where she found that even familiar phrases offered comfort in a time of despair. The song, released as a single from her debut album Cheers to the Fall, embodies a powerful message of resilience and hope. Playing it, you channel that sense of standing strong and finding strength in unity.
