The once-elusive superstar H.E.R. is everywhere these days. This time, she’s lending her superb abilities to a new track titled “Fight For You.”
The ‘60s R&B-inspired jam, composed by H.E.R. and D’Mile, is lifted from the soundtrack of the upcoming motion picture Judas and The Black Messiah. On the soul-stirred single, H.E.R. advocates for the freedom and justice of Black people by any means necessary.
“I’m gon’ see it through / There’s no one, there’s no one like you / Long as I’m standing, we can never losе (Uh) / I’ma always, always fight for you,” she belts on the electrifying chorus.
Upon the debut of “Fight For You,” the talented musician performed the song live for the first time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Both the film Judas and The Black Messiah and its accompanying soundtrack will be released on February 12.
H.E.R. recently spoke with Zane Lowe of Apple Music to share the story behind recording “Fight For You,” which is nominated for Best Original Song at the 78th Golden Globe Awards.
“It was pretty fast. After we watched the movie in the studio together, then we just started to talk. And that’s honestly why I love working with D’Mile and Tiara [Thomas] because I can talk to them,” H.E.R. said.
She continued, “We have these conversations and there’s a comfortability. And I think the biggest thing was listening to some of our favorite, some of my favorites; Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and people like that, Sly and the Family Stone. I was like, ‘I really want to capture the right percussion sounds and get the bass line.’ We started with the bass line. I picked up the bass and I was fiddling a little bit. And then I had walked away. D’Mile came, picked up the bass, and then we landed on something. And it was really about the message, you know.”
H.E.R. is also set to perform “America the Beautiful” at the 2021 Super Bowl this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

After initial music appearances and singles under her real name, Wilson re-emerged in 2016 with the H.E.R. persona, releasing her debut EP H.E.R. Volume 1. She then released subsequent EPs H.E.R. Volume 2 (2017), The B Sides (2017), I Used to Know Her: The Prelude (2018) and I Used to Know Her: Part 2 (2018). Her first compilation album H.E.R. was released in October 2017, consisting of tracks from the singer's first two EPs plus six additional songs. H.E.R. was nominated for five Grammy Awards at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in 2019, winning Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Album.

The long-awaited debut from the lauded singer and guitarist is a fine showcase of her immense talent, though the constant balladeering doesn’t really capture what she does best.

I Used to Know Her is the second compilation album by American singer H.E.R., released on August 30, 2019, by RCA Records. The album comprises songs from the singer's EPs I Used to Know Her: The Prelude (2018) and I Used to Know Her: Part 2 (2018), and includes five additional songs, as well as extended editions of the songs "Going", "Be On My Way", and "The Lord is Coming"

Gabriella Wilson, better known professionally as H.E.R., is an American singer and songwriter. Before gaining notability as H.E.R., Wilson rose to fame by participating in Radio Disney's Next Big Thing in 2009.

Netflix’s animated series We The People drops in exactly one month, and today, one of the stars set to be highlighted in the series, HER, has shared her musical contribution to its soundtrack, “Change.” Opening with a mean bass riff, the song describes parts of the political process and advocates for education and participation, acclaiming the power of one person to make a difference. “One day, I’ll be a leader,” she sings. “Believe in ‘We the people.'”
The singer has been lauded in recent months for the string of socially conscious hits she’s released in the past year, which includes the Golden Globe-nominated “Fight For You” from the Judas And The Black Messiah soundtrack and the Grammy-winning “I Can’t Breathe,” released in response to the murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin.
We The People, streaming July 4, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and aims to inspire viewers to become more engaged with their community and government. A description from Netflix reads:
Combining music and animation to educate a new generation of young Americans about the power of the people, We the People is a series of 10 animated music videos that covers a range of basic U.S. civics lessons in not-so-basic ways. Set to original songs performed by artists such as H.E.R., Janelle Monáe, Brandi Carlile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Lambert, Cordae, Bebe Rexha, KYLE, Andra Day, and poet Amanda Gorman, with a groundbreaking mix of animated styles — each episode of We the People is an exuberant call to action for everyone to rethink civics as a living, breathing thing and to reframe their understanding of what government and citizenship mean in a modern world.
We The People starts streaming 7/4 on Netflix.
