The video is alright. Was hoping for more drama and could've done without the slow motion at times.

In a dream world, the KIB video could have served as the back story to this video...how they met, what he did to her for her to murder him, etc. Instead we got glamour shots with KIB, while this served "to be continued" teas with nothing to be continued. She looks stunning nevertheless.

The video is cool.it should definitely boost streaming, although it will likely get restricted.

Erm, the video was kinda boring despite having high potential to be similar to BBHMM mixed with Man Down.

Rih looks gorgeous in the video, and the cinematography of the shots on the beach are delectable. Everything else was okay I guess, the murder was anticlimactic since there was no real build up.

It's an alright video, but where is the inspiration that was behind any of the pre-release singles' videos?
"Work" gets a pass because of the dual feature and the chemistry between the two. "Kiss It Better" simple elegance allows the song itself to shine. But this...is just distracting from the song and offers nothing to her videography.

I loved the video (maybe partly because I was stoned when I watched it lol).

Any adds on Pop so far this week? Got only 1 add. However, it's a Top10 station (WODS-FM). It's ranked #10 according to AllAccess and they have KIB in the Top20 on their playlist, Work on Power, and BBHMM in the Top50 (they seem to love Rihanna, lmao).
Got 6 more adds on Rhythmic and 6 adds on Urban.

I can see this hitting the Hot 100 top 10 in as soon as 2 weeks.

I'm actually kind of shocked that Rhythmic is moving at a snail's pace. This is their main star releasing a song that's already proven to be a sales and streaming favorite. I figured it'd be closing in on Top 10 by now.

I really like the idea behind the 'Needed Me' video, but the execution was pretty uninspired. They could've done so much more with the bitter angle. Very unexpected.
