This soaring ballad was recorded by Rihanna for the Star Trek Beyond movie. The Bajan songstress had the song in her back pocket for a several years beforehand (it most likely was originally earmarked for Anti). Back in 2014 she tweeted a lyric fragment from its chorus, "You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer."
The song was written by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. It was the pair's first collaboration since their 2012 international chart-topper "Diamonds."
A sledgehammer is a manual tool used to break through brick structures. Rihanna sings here of hitting a wall caused by someone close to her before using the metaphorical sledgehammer to break it down.
