Another new Rihanna song was previewed on Thursday, March 5. After "Higher" was teased in two Instagram videos posted earlier in the day, a snippet of the singer's other track called "American Oxygen" was debuted in an NCAA March Madness TV commercial.
In the 30-second clip, the shot of RiRi performing the song in a white T-shirt teamed with a leather jacket and jeans in front of an American flag intersperses with the footage of NCAA tournament.
"Breathe out, breathe in, American oxygen," she sings. Elsewhere, she adds, "Young boy hustling, trying to get the wheels in motion," before declaring, "This is the new America."
"American Oxygen" is also a cut off Rihanna's upcoming eighth album, which is expected to arrive later this year. The LP has been preceded by the hit "FourFiveSeconds" featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney.
Rihanna also previewed on Thursday another song titled "Dancing in the Dark" from the soundtrack of the animated film "Home (2015)", opening in U.S. theaters on March 27. A portion of the poppy mid-tempo tune can be heard in a new clip arriving online via MTV.
