While Ridley admits that her go-to karaoke song is actually “Un-break My heart” by Toni Braxton, and her pump-up song for action scenes is Disney’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from [_Mulan_](http://time.com/4518450/disney-sets-a-date-for-live-action-mulan-movie/), she explains that the song she really knows all the lyrics to best is, ultimately, “Lose Yourself.” She launches into a pretty impressive flow of the song’s first verse — “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there’s vomit on his sweater already” — but unfortunately we don’t get to hear her recite the entire track, as the _Vogue_ interviewer quickly moves on to question her on other subjects (and enjoy a very British tea on her hotel’s terrace). And yes, Ridley does share some _Star Wars: The Last Jedi_ tidbits with the interviewer. But unfortunately for us, all of the juicy info is effectively bleeped out. We’ll just have to wait until _The Last Jedi_ hits theaters [in December.](http://time.com/4975797/star-wars-last-jedi-trailer-memes/?iid=sr-link1) In the meantime, someone get Ridley a feature on a rap track. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4978179/daisy-ridley-eminem/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4978179/daisy-ridley-eminem/"},"headline":"Daisy Ridley Flawlessly Raps Eminem's 'Lose Yourself'","datePublished":"2017-10-11T20:35:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:44:33.816Z","description":"The star of 'The Last Jedi' flexes her freestyle skills with some Eminem — and also (sort of) answers questions about the new 'Star Wars.'","url":"https://time.com/4978179/daisy-ridley-eminem/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Star Wars","daisy ridley"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4978179/daisy-ridley-eminem/","name":"Daisy Ridley Flawlessly Raps Eminem's 'Lose Yourself'"}}]}] ```
