I honestly dont understand why people don't love this song :air: It's a certified bop.

Like, is it the vocal delivery? I personally think it makes the song, and its just an overall interesting song thats still clearly a pop track with a killer hook :duck:

People complaining and having a meltdown over this song clearly have some sort of warped preconception of what a Rihanna lead single should sound like- some giant ballet, a big dance song with obvious hooks and melodies etc.

I think Rihanna obviously knows this too, which is why i love this song even more. It's not your usual pop song with an obvious beat and song structure. Its got 90s Aphex Twin ambient sounds along with a prominent Caribbean style/vibe. I love that Rihanna didnt deliver a conventional pop song with easily digestible hooks/melodies. She has found her shtick and what makes her stand out from the rest. Noone does the Caribbean accent like Rihanna and only she can pull off such a song.

It's not that it's bad, it's that it's boring.

Radio will eat everything she releases. I'm not surprised. But this is not a good song. Waiting for so long just for this average song? Hope ANTI has better songs.

I really hope that radio does not catch on to this song. My local radio station was playing it every hour on the hour but only because the radio staitons were paid to do so.

This song is so boring. The first listen through I it turned off after 5-10 seconds. The 2nd listen through I got through about 30 seconds and forced myself to listen. Only thing that is somewhat catchy is the work work work work work. I don't even like the instrumental at all. What a mess.

Rihanna, hire Taylor Swift's team to delete the song from the planet and we will all pretend this hasn't happened.

Delete the album while you are at it.

This will do fine on Urban and Rhythmic stations, but it will annoy listeners on pop formats. I can't understand three fourths of what she is even saying. What a disappointment for the second "lead single"! 

That was my thing. I couldn't understand many of the lyrics. I'm such a flop. I'll have to look up lyrics lol.

There are definitely better songs on ANTI from what I've heard, and that's what she probably should have stuck to publicizing. The longer the song goes on the worse she articulates the hook, from 'work' to 'werr werr werr werr wuh wuh'. Maybe some people like that, but it's not to my taste.

It's not my genre this minimal hiphop trap stuff, but I kinda like the sound of this honestly. Very relaxing. Love how her vocals are very prominent. That Drake autotune is just a sound I can never get used to. 

According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch

I love her vocal delivery.  The song bores me, though, as it goes along.
