Glad this is getting released but I fear this will under perform and miss the top 10 for some reason. This is clearly her best song since "Fire Bomb" and they need to work this single properly and give it the full attention it deserves. "Work" has the potential to be the "We Found Love" of this era and over shadow everything in its path especially since it's streams are very high. Is clear Rihanna is ready to move on.

Love this. Can see it going top 10 on the Hot 100 with the video release.

"Work" is definitely at a weird place where it still has life, but it also feels like it's time to move on. It's crazy to think that it's only been out for 2 months. Personally, I don't hear pop appeal in "Needed Me" at all, but I don't particularly hear it in "Kiss It Better" either. It will definitely be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Great song! I think it's miles better than Work.

The stills remind me of the video for Beyonce's "Ghost."

Don't even know what this sounds like, but I'm ready for this to be her 15th #1 just to see the squirming.

Well, as much as I love and adore Kiss It Better, I was hoping Needed Me would be the multi-format SMASH that I know it can be.
Either way, I hope Kiss It Better does well on Pop and Rhythmic and then Needed Me can crossover afterwards. But honestly, I think Needed Me is going to overshadow it completely.

This is such a step down from Work. I don't understand the love everyone has for this. It sounds so dated and weak. It's the only song that really makes me cringe on the album. Hopefully Needed Me overshadows this.

I would've waited 2 weeks. Work is still #1. I agree US-wise, but in other countries WW, especially the UK, she needs another, and a more mainstream, single.

This this the WW single and Needed Me just the US urban? I hate duel singles. Makes each song less impactful. Both singles are radio friendly and can wait their turn to be sent to all formats in unison. I mean, after these two, she doesn't have a clear single either. There's no point in rushing them both.

I don't mind double-A sides if they're done right, but this is kind of a mess. If she were releasing format specific songs it would make sense. "Kiss It Better" is an Urban and Rhy smash in it's own right though. It's going to cannibalize the success of these songs and neither one is going to be as big as it could have been released on it's own.

I get Diamonds teas from the video stills and I always thought that this was kind of an unofficial prequel to the story between her and the man on fire from the Diamonds vid. Destroy me Queen :'( :'(

I'm glad that she's moving on(no this is not shade don't take this out of hand). It really doesn't matter which song they moved to since pretty much all of the ANTI songs are good

Well all I hope is that she can get her 15 and 16 #1's from these two songs. Although I love Needed Me, I can see this getting a lot of success too.

YES! Her best song ever in my opinion (tied with WFL). Hope she gets another #1 out of this.

"Kiss It Better" and "Needed Me" are two of her best songs ever. I'm not sure how they're going to play out, but as a fan I'm glad they're going to be added to her single catalogue.

Can anyone remember the last time a woman released two singles at the same time and they both smashed? I know the Weeknd just did it, and I think if anyone can its Rhi Rhi!
Album continues to grow and grow on me... I am really eating crow with this one.

Only Girl / What's My Name? Granted those were a few weeks apart. I have no clue to this question. Maybe "If I Were A Boy" / "Single Ladies"?
