I heard it on the radio this morning, and it was alright. I was definitely expecting more. It'll probably grow on me though with more listens.

"You Da One" is probably Rihanna's most monotonous single to date . But seeing how "We Found Love" did, it'll most likely be another top 3 hit for her. I have a feeling that "Cockiness (Love It)" will be the best song off the record.

Zzzz. And I thought WFL was bad (although it has grown on me a lot after watching the video)

I think its perfect for the 2nd single.
Its going to smash on Urban and Rhythmic.

I think I loved it by the time it was done. The dubstep section is hot and I like that it wasn't the typical dubstep "break" that everyone tries to do in pop now where it's just the beat playing which just seems like they're trying to highlight it even more as a way to prove to everyone how different and edgy they are....it comes off more naturally here.

I still think What's My Name is better, but I'm starting to like this. Hope it debuts at #1!

The chorus is extremely catchy. I dont see why it wont be a smash on Pop as well.

Her voice in this sog is hurting my ears. It's more like screaming or I don't but I don't like it.

You Da One, You Da One!!! It's very laid back indeed. The chorus and bridge make this song. I like,even though im more for Dance Rihanna.

It was ok on first listen, but it's already growing on me. I love the bridge.

Nope took me all of 2 seconds to like this song. No growth needed.

I like it. She can do no wrong imo. Well maybe the odd song but other than that I love RiRi.

This is good, and I like it....definitely not my favorite Rihanna track, and many songs (based on the clips) on the album sound better to me, but this will still smash!

I haven't listened yet so every time I see the title I think of MJB's "The One."

It's a very odd and fun song.
The arrangement is the best part. Her repeating some of the same words took me a listen or two to warm up to, but I'm on spin #4 and it's a nice radio track. :)

No reason why this shouldnt be her 12th #1 before the end of the year.
Would be awesome if it became the Christmas #1. :'(

The track sounds very Femme Fatale. And I'm not that impressed with this song. Probably will be soon enough though.

This is obviously going to be a hit. Catchy as hell, and it has a really nice groove.

I love it. It gives me an early 2000s vibe. This would have been perfect for summer too

I don't like it at all. It's monotonous, bland and doesn't really go anywhere.
'What's My Name' was a much better crossover single. This doesn't feel like an Urban hit to me, because the production is clearly Pop. If they're going for a crossover, they should have chosen a better song.

... I like this a lot and I'm kinda sick of Rihanna. Is that weird?
This'll probably have a hard time competing with "We Found Love" for #1.
