N.E.R.D. opened the campaign for No One Ever Really Dies, their fifth studio album, with "Lemon", out on November 1, 2017 through Columbia, and they brought Barbadian singer Rihanna in to take a verse. The oddest voice on the track belongs to a politician: former Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter, sampled as the man asking everybody to hold on.
The song came in more cuts than a deli counter. There's a take with Pharrell rapping where Rihanna's verse sits, a radio edit, and a streaming edit that drops Pharrell's opening verse, and in March 2018 a remix brought in Drake.
