Uh oh, Rihanna is being accused of plagiarism.

Rihanna took over the March Madness Music Festival on Saturday (April 4), which included her first live performance of “American Oxygen.” The tune was previously teased in television commercials, and the full studio version premiered on TIDAL (duh) over the weekend.

The Alex Da Kid track is a anthem filled with American pride, rolling military-like drums and motivational lyrics like “Oh say, you see, this is the American Dream / Young girl, hustlin’/ On the other side of the ocean / You can be anything at all.”

This is marks the third official taste we’ve received from the Bad Gal’s forthcoming eighth LP, following “FourFiveSeconds” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.” There’s also various snippets still floating around the Internet, but we probably won’t hear them until the album drops (who knows when that will be).

Take a listen to the track in full over at Direct Lyrics, and let us know what you think in the comments below!
