"Pray for Me" is a song by the Canadian singer-songwriterthe Weeknd and the American rapperKendrick Lamar fromthe soundtrack album of theMarvel Studios superhero filmBlack Panther. The song was released byTop Dawg Entertainment,Aftermath Entertainment, andInterscope Records on February 2, 2018, as the album's third and final single. It serves as the second overall collaboration between the two artists.[3] The song appears in the film during the scene where thetitular hero along with his allies,Nakia andOkoye, enter a secret casino inBusan.[4]

Background and release

[edit]

The Weeknd first hinted at his involvement with theBlack Panther soundtrack album with anInstagram post that he made on January 19, 2018, which contained an illustration of theMarvel superheroBlack Panther perched on a tree in front of the moon.[5] On January 26, 2018, the Weeknd then further hinted at his involvement with the soundtrack when he uploaded an official trailer for theBlack Panther film to his Instagram account.[6] Then on January 31, 2018, Lamar confirmed the Weeknd's involvement with the soundtrack when he uploaded to hisTwitter account the complete tracklist of the soundtrack, which contained the song "Pray for Me".[7] On February 1, 2018, the Weeknd uploaded to his Twitter account a video teasing the release date for "Pray for Me" as the soundtrack's third single.[8]

Composition

[edit]

"Pray for Me" is composed in the key ofE minor.[9]

Reception

[edit]

Alex Robert Ross ofNoisey praised the song, calling it "short, punchy, and self-lacerating."[10]

Commercial performance

[edit]

"Pray For Me" met a global success but less than the Weeknd's previous singles. It reached the top ten in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Lebanon, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, top twenty in Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and United Kingdom, top thirty in Germany, theFlemish region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland, top forty in Austria, Hungary and Slovakia and top fifty in France. It peaked at number seven on USBillboard Hot 100.

Copyright infringement lawsuit

[edit]

In February 2020, Tesfaye and Lamar were sued by now-split Americanexperimental rock bandYeasayer for alleged plagiarism due to vocal similarities with their 2007 song "Sunrise".[11] According to the lawsuit, the part allegedly stolen from the song includes "the recording of a distinctive choral performance, which Plaintiffs [Yeasayer] created and recorded using their own voices".[12][13] Furthermore, Yeasayer claims that "Defendants extracted Plaintiffs' choral performance from a recording of 'Sunrise,' slightly modified it, including, on information and belief, via postprocessing to alter its pitch, among other qualities" and then subsequently used the modified audio in their own song.[12] Both Tesfaye and Lamar have denied the accusation. The lawsuit later reached its conclusion in July 2020, after Yeasayer dropped it.[14]
