Background
In June 2012, it was revealed that
"I think music is important to every film. I think it sets the tone, in the moment. It creates the sensitivity, the suspense, no matter what film it is, especially in animation. I've had an incredible time making music for this film. I've worked really closely with Tim Johnson, the director, just to make sure that lyrically, and musically the songs were matching exactly what he needed — what he needed the audience to feel in that moment."
In July 2014 singer songwriter Kiesza announced that Rihanna had record two or three of her songs for the album but was unsure if they would appear on the final project.[6] In September 2014, Rihanna was recording in New York City in which she was working with frequent collaborator Ester Dean.[7]

"Towards the Sun" was written by Tiago Carvalho, Gary Go, and Rihanna. Scott Mills premiered the song on BBC Radio 1 on February 9, 2015[16] and it was made available for digital download the same day via the iTunes Store.[17] The song was supposed to impact U.S. Top 40/Mainstream radio on March 17, 2015, however, its release was cancelled at the last minute.[18] Upon release it received generally positive reviews from music critics who praised its lyrics, production, chorus and Rihanna's vocals.[10] Commercially the song was a moderate success on charts peaking at seventy six on the UK Singles Chart and twenty two on the French singles chart.
