In the episode, Riley's character Mercedes will be singing the song as she decides on who between ex-boyfriend Sam (Chord Overstreet) and current beau Shane (LaMarcus Tinker) will she select.

The highly anticipated performance, which will be shown on February 14 at 8 p.m. E.T., will serve as the show's tribute to late legendary singer Whitney Houston who made a cover of the Dolly Parton song in 1992 and made it a hit.

Riley reportedly met Houston at Kelly Price's pre-Grammy party on Thursday, just two days before Houston died.

"Whitney's music meant so very much to me. I was very very choked up when I heard about her passing. I just met her this past Thursday," Riley told E!. "I've grown up listening to her voice ringing throughout our household. I'm so speechless. I can't believe that she passed."
