LOVED the song. Really wasn't expecting anything like it. It's very different for Rihanna and not that poppy. I wonder how this will end up doing... it's great for clubs but... for radio? Not really sure. I'm glad she's refreshing her sound tho. It's very pleasing to have her being versatile and evolving.

Hm. The chorus isn't too catchy, and her vocals are horrible. I hope this is a demo is something. Her vocals are great on this song. I'm sure the raw vocals were good, but it sounds really processed. It's not that bad though, which is why I changed my original post a few minutes ago. Only Girl >>> though.

She sounds gorgeous and...I'm out. It sounds more Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna than the other way around. The chorus is such a non-event.
I'm just disappointed. I was expecting more at this point.

Do we know for sure if this will be a single? maybe it's just a teaser?

This is her best single after Umbrella, IMO. And it's clearly so much better than Only Girl, which I just can't stand.

Calvin Harris did a good job producing this, but there's basically no hook. It's not catchy at all. Then again I didn't think "Only Girl" was all that catchy the first several times I heard it either.

This is great.
This will probably break records in Europe.

i think I like this. I love her airy vocal approach, but I cringe at the thought of her trying this live. It's in a tough vocal register, and it already sounds like her higher head voice notes are pretty processed and the enunciation is a bit off.
I don't like when the music builds and builds higher and higher, but maybe that's because I just woke up.
I think this will just continue to grow on me. I haven't loved a single lead single from her on the first listen, but my reaction to this is mostly positive.

I've only listened to it once but the "We Found Love In A Hopeless Place" melody is stuck in my head...

Well the good thing is LOUD was MASSIVE so it's ok for this to not be as successful. I don't see this flopping, it will do well, maybe even hit #1 out of anticipation, but I am prepared for this era not to be a huge. As long as the music is good, who cares? I'm truly loving this song!

This $hits on every euro inspired dance song to come out in America in the past year. It's really left field an not too commercial.hopefully this works in her favour

Her voice sounds lovely, but the siren/zipper whatever noise kills it for me. I hate that.

I don't like rihanna, but this song I do like! Actually, i might love it. And I still don't love OG.
This song will be huge hit and not in Europe only.

THIS is the dance pop I like. Clean production and simple vocals.
Not the overproduced, over-processed, watered down, and messy "music" we've been force fed for the past 3 years! Very few artists and producers can get it right...good job Calvin and Rihanna!

Now the "Listen Now" thing disappeared and now it says that we have to trend it to unlock it. -.- EDIT: Lmao, I refreshed again, now it says it's unlocked, but you still can't listen to it.

Meh, it's her weakest lead single imo. OG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The chorus is so forgettable. But her vocal is great!

I'm a little underwhelmed by this; don't think it'll flop, but I also don't think it'll be a huge #1 neither. I personally hope they let Cheers climb higher within the next few weeks before pushing this to radio here.
