"Pray for Me" is a song by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar from the *Black Panther* soundtrack. Released in 2018, the track blends dark R&B with rap

Thematically, the song deals with:
*  Bearing a heavy burden and feeling the pressure to protect others
*  Fear, loneliness, and doubt, while striving to keep fighting
* The question of who supports the hero when the hero themselves needs help

The Weeknd’s chorus expresses a longing for support and salvation, while Kendrick Lamar’s verse addresses sacrifice and courage from a hero's perspective. This makes the song a fitting match for *Black Panther*, a story in which the protagonist faces difficult choices and immense responsibility

The lyrics can also be interpreted more broadly; many view the song as a depiction of how people struggle with their own inner conflicts while those around them expect them to be strong. It thus speaks to both superheroes and ordinary people as they grapple with responsibility, loneliness, and hope🙏🏻
