"Rise Together" (stylized in caps) is a song recorded by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Ai and Japanese producer Yaffle [ja] featuring Japanese rapper OZworld [ja]. It was released on April 17, 2024, through EMI Records. Primarily a hip hop recording with gospel influences,[1] "Rise Together" served as the image song for the Japanese release of the 2024 American monster film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Background

On April 10, 2024, Ai began to tease new music on her social media accounts. Singing a cappella, she shared a video online of her within a miniature constructed city.[2] Two days later on April 12, Toho released a trailer for the Japanese dub version of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.[3][4] On social media, Ai announced she recorded an image song for the film.[5] Yaffle, who produced Ai's 2023 promotional single "World Dance", commented he "called on Ai, who has a strong ability to grab listener's ears".[6][7] In regards to the lyrics and song title, Ai stated she was inspired by the film's original trailer, sublimating the trailer's catchphrase "Rise together or fall alone".[8][9] Ai additionally stated her and Yaffle's musical styles "matched really well" in production of the song.[10] Oricon reported "Rise Together" samples the musical theme of Akira Ifukube's "Godzilla (Main Theme)" alongside Ai's "gospel-like roar".[11]
