The “Work” singer — who hasn’t released a song since 2022’s “Lift Me Up” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack — praised the “What Was I Made For?” hitmaker as being “so good.” RiRi admitted she’s top of the list of people she’d like to record with.

“If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish … Mm-mm, she’s so good,” Rihanna told “Access Hollywood” when asked who her dream collaboration would be with.

And Eilish was thrilled with the endorsement from the pop icon.

“What in the absolute f— … oh my god what the f—” she wrote, sharing the video clip on her Instagram Story.

The “Happier Than Ever” singer has repeatedly praised Rihanna over the last few years. Last year, she told Vogue she thought the “Diamonds” hitmaker was the “hottest person to ever exist in the history of the world.” And in 2019, she singled out Rihanna as the one celebrity she’d like to meet.

“But, like, only if she wanted to. Because my entire life, I’ve never even wanted to meet my idols because I never wanted to bother them,” Eilish said.

She went on to admit she would “die a million times” over the idea of a collaboration.

“Only if she would want to” Eilish added.

Earlier this year, Rihanna admitted she was “starting over” with her long-awaited new album, which would be her first since 2016’s Anti.

“I think that music, for me, is a new discovery. I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside, and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start — give me a second!” she told “Entertainment Tonight.”

“Yeah, I’m starting over,” Rihanna admitted. “But I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective, and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with.”
